If my kid looked like this thing I WOULD
stick it in a cabinet, lock it up and try to forget about it.
Or sell it to a freak show and at least get a few bux for it.

Too bad this alien thing doesn't make any noise.
It would be awesome if it was as noisy as the Sceamapiller
from the Simpsons.

These things grow fast. Too fast. In a couple days Shako is already double his original size.

You should definitely get one Godmodule.
It's a good distraction from reality.
Plus since Target is clearing them out
you can get a couple. I may get another to dissect.

Wikipedia wrote:4Kidz, Inc. has yet to release the details of how the alien actually grows. It can be assumed that the alien's body is some sort of expanding material, which reacts with the feeding powder and regular water.

The alien detects water level by using a water sensor on the tip of its antenna and on the top of its head. The water level must be between these two detectors for the alien to be 'healthy'.

The website interaction works via a light detector in the alien's head responding to flashes from the 'web portal' on the Test Tube Aliens website.

I've seen some of these expanding material doodads before, especially the "grow your own girlfriend/boyfriend" variety, but the others didn't need anything other than water.
