Mario Gimmick Keychain

  NEWS Mario Gimmick Keychain - Shipping January 2005
    Banpresto has announced a new keychain collection which features Mario or Luigi jumping underneath a regulation issue block. Pull down on Mario, release him, and watch as he rockets upwards to pop a gold coin out from the block. Nifty.
 
   Each keychain ensemble measures approximately 5cm (roughly 2") and four types are expected - three chains with Mario and one with Luigi doing his thing. Since the keychains will be blister-packed and easily discernible from each other, NCS is accepting preorders for individual chains at the price of US$5.50 each. Preorders are expected to ship in mid-late January.  
 
 

Stand Alone Complex Miniatures

  NEWS Ghost in the Shell SAC Miniatures - Shipping January 2005
   Cyborg cop Motoko Kusanagi (two variants, seated and standing) and Batou (the big blond brute behind her) are in a rare moment of repose in Sega's upcoming Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex miniature figure set. To the right of the photo, a Section 9 Tachikoma appears at the ready for tackling cyber criminals.

Each figure measures 5cm tall (approximately 2") and NCS expects to sell the four figures as a complete set. Delivery is expected in mid-late January.
