Evangelion Mini Refrigerator - Import Preorder

Does the final episode of the first Evangelion series still haunt your dreams? Did you name your first born Shinji and your second son Gendo just to be cheeky? If you're still obsessing over all things Evangelion, NCS might have something for you next week.

The Evangelion Miniature Refrigerator [Blue Rei or Red Asuka version]

Not just any refrigerator but a miniature one that's portable. It's not your dad's fridge but it'll store about 8 bottles of water, a couple of sandwiches, and at least a day's worth of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The Evangelion refrigerator can operate on 100V-120V and may be plugged into a wall or into your vehicle through the included power cables. One unique aspect of the fridge is its ability to serve as a food warmer in addition to a cooler. Simply turn the temperature dial up inside and it'll keep food and drinks warm. Preorders ship on or around July 10, 2008.

Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta! - JPN Preorder

G.rev's latest Naomi endeavor is another vertical shooter which features characters designed by Mizuki Takayama of Senko no Ronde fame and spitfire gameplay that requires twitchy manipulation.

Kanu Unchou Big Towel - Import Preorder

NCS pores through hundreds of Japanese preorder offers every week. It's a daunting task but someone's got to do it. Some preorders make us laugh out loud while others give us pause. Two examples from the past include the Taiko Hats and the various Unchi toys.

When we received the preorder details for Cospa's Kanu Unchou Big Towel, there was pause. Then wonderment. Who would have the temerity to lay the towel out on a public beach? First of all, there's upskirts action going on in the towel which is evil in itself but glance higher and there's also an upshirts view for anyone who cares to look. NCS was conflicted on whether or not to post the latest Kanu Unchou product on today's website update. The conflict lasted about 3.15 seconds.

Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2008. Pricing is set at JPY5000 or US$50.90 from NCS.
