NCS Product Notes
* The Pikmin figures in Series 3 are well constructed and the Pikmin that we received in the few boxes we opened are able to stand on their own two feet thanks to circular stands that are pasted to each creature. The white hippopotamus-like creature seen in the first two photos above stand on four perfectly formed hooves.

* We gave the gum in the Pikmin boxes to a neighbor's kid who was off from school this week and visiting the building. At first, she thought they were mint Tic-Tacs but we explained to her that it was gum and to avoid swallowing the bits of candy.

* One of the secret toys we uncovered in our exploration was a circular yellow dome with three conical formations around it. Three stalks are plugged into the cones and a daisy is plopped on top. In the photo directly above, it's the last figure in the fuchsia colored box.
