There's a hole-in-the-wall eatery near our office building that sells four fried dumplings for a dollar. They're greasy, glistening with oil, and piping hot. We know they're not healthy or good for you but a buck doesn't go far anywhere else... except there. Four dumplings is basically a relatively filling lunch for a wretched dollar. When Bandai started preorders for the Miniature Mania Gyoza no Shogun straps on Tuesday night, we thought of that fried-dumpling-hole-in-the-wall. In Japan, gyoza are fried dumplings and the photo to the left shows six of them on a platter. Instead of wolfing it down however, you're supposed to attach it to your phone. In addition to the gyoza strap, Bandai's Miniature Mania set of food-themed straps include a plate of fried chicken and a beef dish. Preorders for the complete set ship in Oct 2008.
