Nyoro-Nyoro Figure

Hailing from the Moomins books by Tove Jannson, the ivory-colored Hattifatteners are a group of worm-like creatures that travel en masse towards the horizon. The Moomins originally made their appearance in Europe in the 1950s but as the 90s rolled around, Japan caught the fever and a television series and a feature length movie were produced. In Japan, the Hattifatteners became the Nyoro-Nyoro which translates to "Slither-Slither." The Nyoro² slither again in January 2007 with a toy figure which features fins and measures 15cm tall. The photo of the hand about to grasp Nyoro-Nyoro in a kung-fu grip may give the wrong impression but NCS' advice is to get your minds out of the gutter.
