TOYS Caltoy SJ Kamonoha JPN

Preorder Import: US$49.00/each
 TOYS Caltoy SJ Kamonoha Plush - Preorder
«©NCS» The animals that Sega have inducted into the Caltoy plush parade has been diverse over the years. We're guessing they're looking to create enough plushes to fill a Noah's Ark of sorts eventually. The latest plush to join the Caltoy species rainbow is the "Kamonoha" which is known as a platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) in the American vernacular. Two color variants are on offer: a chocolate colored beastie and a flesh-colored version. Both types feature stubby appendages and a large duckbill. The plushes measure 60cm or 23.62" in length from bill to tail. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late February 2008 at US$49 each. 
 
 

TOYS DOAX2 Venus: Lei-Fang JPN

Preorder Import: US$49.00/each
 TOYS Dead or Alive X2 Venus on the Beach: Lei-Fang - Preorder
«©NCS» When Lei-Fang of Dead or Alive fame hits the beach, she wears a two-piece bikini and kicks it up on an inflated swim tube like a flailing seal trying to avoid the billowing surf. Or something like that.

   Kotobukiya sculpts the attractive martial artist in a highly dynamic pose where Lei-Fang's seated but both legs are hiked upwards and parallel to the ground which leads to gratuitous views. The figure is set to 1/6 scale and measures 15cm or 5.90" tall from the bottom of the swim tube to the top of Lei-Fang's head. Two outfits are included - a rainbow colored number and a black 2-piece bikini. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late April 2008 at US$49 each.

 TOYS Gotochi Heroes Collection: Chojin Neiger Figure - Preorder
«©NCS» Tokusatsu heroes such as Kikaider, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider have been a part of Japanese pop culture since the late 1950s. Maybe the attraction lies in the snazzy costumes or the otherworldly masks that hide the human hero behind them. Chojin Neiger defends Akita Prefecture in Japan with athletic moves, a sword, and fierce fighting skills. Japanese manufacturer West Kenji has started preorders for a 17cm tall PVC figure which may be posed in various action stances. Y'know, to scare the bad guys. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late January 2008 at US$39.

TOYS Sanrio Fuwamaru Mascot JPN

Preorder Import: US$28.00/set
 TOYS Sanrio Character Fuwamaru Mascot Keychain - Preorder
«©NCS» The amount of Hello Kitty and other Sanrio critter products that is released each year in Japan and Asia staggers the mind. NCS generally dodges much of the Kitty barrage but every once in a while, we're tempted to import a series or production. This one captured our attention for some reason.
   Sanrio collects eight of their mascots and tethers a link to each one and calls them keychains. The characters in the set include Hello Kitty, Monkichi, Keroppi, and more. Too bad Badzt-Maru and Chococat didn't make the cut. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late February 2008. Pricing is set at US$28 for a complete set of 8 keychains as shown in the photo.
 
 

TOYS Shakugan no Shana 2 JPN

Preorder Import: US$50.00/each
 TOYS Shakugan no Shana 2: Shana Candy Bikini Ver. - Preorder
«©NCS» Shana hails from the Shakugan no Shana novellas and despite looking like a ginger, Shana is actually a force of nature known as a Flame Haze. Despite her innate nature as a mighty force, Shana also exhibits human feelings such as love and anger. Shana also wields a katana and swings it in a human way.
  NCS' most recent Shakugan no Shana ware was a beach towel that we originally sold in August 2007 but Kotobukiya's upcoming Shana product is a 1/8 scale PVC figure which measures 12cm or 4.72" tall. Shana wears a pastel-blue two piece and kneels on a circular patch of sand. When on a beach, one tends to catch some rays but Shana's katana is included in the toy just in case some slashing needs to be done. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late February 2008 at JPY5000 or US$50 from NCS.

«©NCS» In the future dystopia known as Japan, convicts may escape from prison by performing well in a game of death known as Igura.
