MacDonald's Balancing Sasuke Toy

Sasuke is a weird little meme with a great kernel. This McDonald's Happy Meal toy, based on the Sasuke Uchiha character from the Japanese anime show Naruto and issued in Japan and Taiwan, is surprisingly easy to balance large objects on. This ability has landed him in loads of forum pictures and on Taiwanese TV.

Maybe it's the deceptively long surface area of the top of Sasuke's hair, forming a steady triangle without looking like a flat surface. The little plastic Sasuke can apparently balance coins, computers, other toys, handguns, rice cookers and the front wheel of a motorbike on its head or even upside down.
