The Japanese word "Bakuhatsu" means "Explode" and that's what Bomberman's bombs do. To capitalize on the decades old Bomberman craze, Banpresto unleashes a plush bomb which sports a lit fuse on top and a sound emitting mechanism inside. When the sound device is smacked and triggered by pounding on the Bomberman plush, two sounds roar forth from the innards of the toy which are meant to recreate explosive video game aurals from yesteryear.
In the original manufacturer product solicitation from late 2006, the flyer mentions that each plush makes two sounds: "BOOMB!" and "POM!" which are lovingly sampled from the Bomberman games. We listened to the sound effects and the first one sounds like the effect when Bomberman drops a bomb in the maze. The second effect sounds like a burning fuse which leads to a rocking explosion. Two color variants are on offer and all preorders have shipped as of yesterday. New orders are welcome.
