HTB Mascot Character on-chan Nendoroid - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Hokkaido Television Broadcasting Co created their cap-wearing mascot back in 1997 and we're guessing the designers found inspiration in baseball, the Michelin Man, and perhaps Pac-Man. The mascot's name is on-chan and he has a wide smile, short arms, and segmented legs. His little pet is a monster called Guchi. Before on-chan came along, HTB's mascot was a rascal named Kunta-kun but it was phased out after nearly 20 years of service. The On-Chan Nendoroid measures 12cm (4.72") tall and is constructed of PVC. The figure features a multiple points of articulation which allows it to be posed and configured in various stances. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2009 at JPY2858. The production is by Orchid Seed with sculpting work by Masāki Kobayashi.
