Piggy Banks and Creepiness generally dont gel well together. It would be self-defeating to have a product for kids which is scary. Perhaps the Japanese set out to achieve something else, but the end result is just what comes under creepy in the dictionary.

Its called as the facebank and its a piggy bank with human emotions. Using a special sensor in the devices eyes, the Facebank knows when you are about to insert a coin into its mouth. When you want to feed it a coin, the gadget mouth starts chomping, fueled by a robotic motor. Each device retails for about USD $44 and is powered by 4 AAA batteries. Its got color choices of green, red, blue and grey.
