“Eyeball Father” Ghost Mobile Phone Straps

These little beasts are not really extremely wacky – there are lots of dumb little accessories for mobile phones available in Germany, and I presume, in most other countries – but I thought they were quite appropriate, seeing as how it’s Halloween and all.

Eyeball Straps

These are fashioned after “Medama no Oyaji”, (“Eyeball Father”) from a manga and anime series from the 60s. Each of the figurines is basically a tiny baby with a huge eyeball for a head. Eyeball Father was once human, but died and was reincarnated as an anthropomorphic version of his own eyeball.

Eyeball Straps

There are baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball and tennis variations of this thing. You can buy them at StrapYa World for
420 Yen each (about 2.50 Euro).

My mobile phone will of course remain strap-free.
