The gadgets that Brando sells are often weird but they’re mostly affordable. GeekStuff4U has it the other way around: slightly weird gadgets that really hurt the pockets. Case in point: handmade frog and duck USB flash disks. Why? I mean, sure, they look nice, but… Why?

usb frog

Okay I must admit, USB frog looks cool. He looks like a tatooed alien frog. With a USB interface sticking out of his butt.

USB duck

I don’t like USB duck. He’s boring. As I said, both are handmade, plus they’re made from a traditional Japanese heavy crepe cloth called chirimen, hence their price: a 2GB capacity of either animal sells for $83 (USD),  then $94 for 4Gb, and finally $105 for the 8GB. If you think they’re worth it, head on to ExpensiveStuff4U GeekStuff4U.

    Well, if you happen to know how expensive is Chirimen and precious this Tissue is in Japan, you would understand the price. Chirimen is made for luxury Kimono in Japan

    Chirimen may be expensive, but somehow animals with USB coming out of their butts are not quite appealing!
