In the United States, toy weapons have pretty much
been outlawed in the past few years. Someone
carrying a plastic gun that's colored gunmetal black
is likely to be shot by jittery gangsters or members
of law enforcement. The potential of crushing
product liability lawsuits have also put a damper on
toy weaponry sales.
In Japan, toy weapons are still readily available for purchase and
play. Carry a realistic toy gun
into Akihabara and hardly
anyone will assume it's real. Try the same stunt in
the States and you might catch a cap or three. Epoch
starts preorders for a set of "Light Weapons" such
as knives, stars, and guns. The preorder sheet shows
a thug in the background holding both a knife and a
sword while looking evil. Due to the improbability
of being able to sell these toys in the USA, NCS
won't be importing this set. |
