Creepy gets an upgrade. The first version of the Facebank wasn’t really a picknick for the eyes, but now Japan-based toy maker Banpresto not only decided it’s time for an update but that their piggy bank must even get scarier. How? By just replacing the eyes with ears.

Now compare it to the update:
I think the Facebank 2 is definitely creepier. It goes on sale in Japan in May and costs $17. Ask Japan Trend Shop, Gizmine, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya if they can send you one (there is no release date set for international markets).
