Hommage to USA Pop Culture Icon Snoopy from Japan Of Course

One of the most prominent characters in American pop culture, Snoopy, has been immortalized in the form of 2 very Japanese gadgets. The 40 year anniversary of Snoopy's arrival as a mascot for NASA arrives this year. Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the Peanuts cartoon and to celebrate both momentous occasions Strapya brings us a pair of commemorative USB toys. The Astronaut Snoopy USB monitor pal. Either clip Snoopy and Woodstock onto your laptop screen or leave it flat on your desk. As soon as you plug it into an available USB port they'll start to move and look about. Basically a USB bobble-head, the Astro-Snoopy is probably best suited to die hard NASA or Peanuts fans only.

Slightly more practical is the Snoopy USB Hub. This 3 port USB hub has Snoopy in his ultra favorite role as an Flying Ace hunting the Red Baron. Fitted with moving goggles when turned on Snoopy dives and climbs with characteristic airplane and machine gun sound effects. The spinning propeller and bobbing motion will nostalgically remind you of the 25cent rocket rides located outside of childhood grocery stores. Watch the video below to check out the action. Know in advance the answer to everyone's question: Yes, it does have a 'mute' button. Pick this one up for yourself or a loved one for about $60 from Strapya.
