TOY Cheburashka 16cm Plush JPN

Preorder Import: US$12/each
 

TOY Cheburashka 18cm Plush JPN

Preorder Import: US$16/each
 TOY Cheburashka 18cm Plush - Preorder, Ships May 07
«©NCS» No, it's not Dumbo nor is it your old chum Timmy - the fourth grader who's ears seemed larger than dinner plates. The brown, big-eared creature is named Cheburashka (Чебурашка in Russian) and the little guy was conceived by Eduard Uspensky in the 1960s. At first glance, Cheburashka shares similarities with popular Japanese icons such as Hello Kitty or Tarepanda as follows:

» Simplistic facial structure with requisite blank stare
» Diminutive stature and short limbs
» Somewhat androgynous and non-threatening
» Simple color scheme

   Where Cheburashka derails the Japanese design convention for cute characters is the massive ears. They're nearly as big as Che's head and would probably serve well as radar arrays or solar panels. Despite the strange dimensions and lack of golden spiral harmony in the beast, Japanese as well as Chinese have taken a liking to Cheburashka. Animated films with titles such as "Cheburashka Goes to School," "Old Witch Shapoklyak," and "Gena the Crocodile and His Friends" from Russian studio  Soyuzmultfilm have all made the rounds in Asia and Japan. The Japanese refer to Cheburashka as "Tieburasika."

   To take advantage of the popularity of Cheburashka, Japanese toy company Omron has started preorders for three toys based on the brown animal. The first is a 16cm plush which features three variants. The actual Cheburashka figure is the same but the color of the Чебурашка sign that it holds is different. Next up is an 18cm plush with two styles on offer - one where Cheburashka holds an orange and another where the cuddly creature stands with arms to its side like a plank. We're likely not going to stock the third set of Cheburashka toys which are little matted plushes with loops on top. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2007 at US$12 for each 16cm plush and US$16 for each 18cm plush.
 
 

NAOMI Dynamite Deka EX JPN

Preorder Import: US$1295/kit
 NAOMI Dynamite Deka EX -Asian Dynamite- - Preorder, Ships May
«©NCS» Sega has started preorders for another sequel to Dynamite Deka (Dynamite Detective) which ships in Naomi cartridge kit form. Some other Naomi games that were based on cart instead of GD-Rom include both Power Stones, Sega Tetris, and Dynamite Baseball. Similar to its forebears, Dynamite Deka EX is a 3D punch 'n kick 'n shoot action game where a one-man-army beats down on terrorists and their ilk. It's been 9 years since Dynamite Deka 2 was released in 1998 but the new game appears to be much of the same formula as before. The levels look sharper and more textured which should draw the usual crowd of action game fans. Pricing is set at US$1295 for the Naomi kit which includes EMS shipping costs directly from Japan to any address in North America, Europe, or Asia.

ETC Pocari Sweat Cooler JPN

Preorder Import: US$25/each

 DRINK Pocari Sweat Cooler - Preorder, Ships May
«©NCS» Summers in New York City are hot, hazy, and uncomfortable. June isn't too bad but when you get into July and August, the "dog days" are an apt description of the muggy blanket of heat that overwhelms the senses. Add the traffic congestion, the heavy foot traffic, and sweat circles... and you have a conspiracy on your hands.

   Whenever it's a scorcher outside, we like to sit down with a can of refreshing Pocari Sweat (not really but work with us here for the sake of the solicitation). Buy two bottles from the local Asian food store - one for now and one for later. To keep the second bottle cold, NCS recommends the Pocari Sweat Cooler which holds a single bottle in its frigid battery-powered confines. Never mind that it weighs nearly 2 lbs and sucks up a lot of battery power - your enjoyment of Pocari should never be ruined by a lukewarm bottle.

   The Pocari Sweat Cooler measures 11 x 11 x 26 cm (4.33 x 4.33 x 10.23") in dimension and features the snazzy Pocari Sweat logo with the swish underneath. A clear compartment ensures that you'll be able to look at the condensation inside as your bottle of Pocari is being chilled. Since the cooler is fairly large, we're guessing a bottle of regular Deer Park Spring water and assorted soft drinks will also fit inside. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2007 at US$25 per cooler.
 
 

TOY Horror Summer JPN

Preorder Import: US$20/set
 TOY Horror Summer Toilet Roll + Cover - Preorder, Ships July
«©NCS» It is NCS' firm contention that man is most vulnerable when sitting upon the porcelain throne. Loud noises, explosions, and shouts of murderous anger are not things that one wants to hear when perched thusly. That's where Sega comes in with a gimmick toilet roll device which says things that aren't comforting when man is in his most private moment. To instill both fear and trepidation upon a victim, simply replace the toilet roll holder with the device shown and the next time the roll is spun, the mark will get a shock... or maybe just a goofy chuckle if he's good natured.
