Somebody at Pentax has just plain lost it. Here you see the forthcoming limited-edition K-r, a custom version of the regular 12 megapixel DSLR. It seems to have been built from eye-searingly bright children's building blocks, and somebody has even wedged a robot-head into the hot-shoe.

Pentax has a history of colorful experimentation, from the "world's reddest DSLR" to the rainbow-colored K-x which "requires sunglasses to use". But with this Korejanairobomoderu, or Korejanai robot edition, Pentax has reached a new high. And I mean "high" in the drug-smoking sense.

Other than its candy-coated shell (and decapitated robot head), the camera is unchanged from the stock K-r. It does have a matching lens, though, a special-edition version of the 35mm ƒ2.4, which equates roughly to the length of a 50mm when used on a crop-frame body.

The price for this Willy Wonka camera will be ¥99,800, or $1,190, and only 100 will be made (that's precisely 100 too many). Pre-ordering opens at 12PM on December 24th, for delivery in January.
