I have blown tons of money on Ir Toys in the past month and every single one A) has shipped with old firmware, B) gets stuck in bootloader during an attempted firmware upgrade, C) is now a brick. Search the forums for "stuck in bootloader" or "U2IO flash erasing: FAILED." and you will see this issue has existed for over THREE YEARS and there is no solution. Many people have reported this problem, yet this is no fix, and the assholes at Seeed are still selling this garbage.
While I don't have an Ir Toy, I did a quick search and found this:
"Looking at the software for the USB Infrared Toy, I discovered a tool called irtoy that records and plays back IR commands. So I thought I’d give this a try. Unfortunately it required a firmware update and when I tried the update it got stuck in bootloader mode and I could not access the USB Infrared Toy! After some cursing and switching of USB ports (and waiting), windows finally found the toy (which turns into a USB human interface device in bootloader mode) and I was able to complete the firmware upgrade. Phew!"
See: viewtopic.php?t=786 (http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=786) which contains an analysis of the issue and a resolution (and also suggests that it is not "bricked").
Of course the other option is to use a PIC programmer which will certainly unbrick any toy, assuming it is in fact bricked. I'm sure you can find some helpful person nearby who can do this for you if you do not have a PIC programmer (PICkit2s can be had on AliExpress for less than $US 9 delivered).
