uCrown 2 Massage Helmet Is Not a Prop From The Last Starfighter [Massage]

[retroremakes]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_ucrown2.jpgI can't tell if the OSIM uCrown 2 really is a head massage device, a practical joke, an attempt to reinvent 1980s electronics styling, or some twisted mixture of all three. Also, there was a uCrown 1?
Now, if we're to accept that the head massage functionality as the goal, here's what Brookstone says this $200 piece of kit will deliver:

Air pressure masage
Vibration massage
Magnetic therapy
"Gentle" heat
Built-in speakers
The NES gray color scheme was surely included to give your noggin a healthy "nostalgia massage." Surely.
