Not sure what this was...........

Heather and I drove down to Omiya/Saitamashintoshin on Sunday for some shopping and a Kua' Aina cheeseburger fix. In the station at Saitamashintoshin, we encountered this thing.
Not sure what it was, but it sure was creepy as hell and damn good at scaring children. If anyone could identify it, please let us know.
