TOYS Persona 4 Kuma Plush JPN

Import Preorder: $50.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4531894386995
 TOYS Persona 4 Kuma 26cm Plush - Import Preorder
NCS Preorder Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The Konamistyle edition of Persona 4 included a bonus t-shirt and a Kuma plush; the Konamistyle bundle sold like gangbusters. That particular Kuma plush was okay but it wasn't great. Not by a long shot. The reason for our muted appreciation for the Konamistyle Kuma plush lies mainly in the fact that the zipper around Kuma thick neck was non-functional. The treads were just for show and the zipper tab itself was made of felt.

   Cospa remedies the zipper-less Kuma plush dilemma by announcing a new version which features a functional zipper so that Kuma's entire head may be detached from its body. Once separated, the two parts may be used to frighten little children, cats, and assorted woodland animals. Kuma measures 26cm or 10.26" tall which is larger than we'd like mainly because shipping charges per plush are going to be high. Reservations are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2010 at JPY3800 or US$50.90 from NCS.

NCS Preorder Synopsis
 «©NCSX» When Jun Tsukasa illustrated "Compact Hog" for a calendar back in 2007 (She was Miss March-April), CH was robust, ripe, and very rounded. It's a tricky process to create a 3D figure from a 2D illustration and a multitude of things can go wrong. However, the photos of the Compact Hog figure released by Tsukasa are properly proportioned, well rounded, and painted perfectly for an impressive recreation of the CH illustration. Ever her eyes exhibit that mysterious and luminous quality found in the original artwork. Compact Hog measures 18.50cm (7.28" tall) and preorders are welcome to ship in June '10.
