ETC Mario / Goomba Mice  JPN
 ETC Mario & Goomba Mice - New Import / In Stock

    ©NCSX▪ Novelty mice for PCs never really made a splash in the marketplace. One reason may be the ergonomics of a mouse crafted like a hamburger hardly makes for comfortable web surfing or extensive sessions of one's latest gaming addiction. To add to the crop of uncomfortable novelty mice, Banpresto ships Mario and Goomba versions which may appeal to retro Famicom fans. Requires a USB port and compatible with WinXP/ME and Mac.

   Pricing is set at a friendly Y1800 but due to import costs and carriage, please note that NCS is forced to sell the toy for US$26. Forced.
 
 

TOY Animal Crossing Gashapon JPN
 TOYS Animal Crossing Gashapon - Preorders Ship April 2006

   ©NCSX▪ The king of all gashapon, Yujin, has announced another set of Dobutsu no Mori (Animal Crossing) capsule toys which are scheduled to ship in mid-late April 2006. This time around, animals made of PVC are trapped inside clear plastic cubes. The illustrative artwork included with the preorder solicitation shows the animals just standing there and there doesn't appear to be any gimmick such as movement or strange sounds that emanate when the cube is shaken.
   Seven types of animals which measure 5cm or 1.96" tall will be randomly packaged but since they're gashapon packaged into clear plastic capsules, NCS will assemble the toys into complete sets of 7.
