Ochichi Meba

In Japan, the word "ochichi" or "乳ちち" refers to breast. Oppai is another word that means "breasts"..... or "boobies" if you want to be adolescent about it. Toy manufacturer Epoch tests their audience's ochichi recognition skills with a set of 5 toy breasts. Two types are of the flattened variety which may be known as pancakes while the other three are perfectly spherical with a protruding nipple. There's even one with cow skin camouflage, perhaps to indicate the totemic discharge of milk. Pricing is set at US$16 for the complete set of 5 Ochichis and preorders will ship in mid-late April 2007.
