«©NCSX» Earlier this year, trading card purveyor Sakurado celebrated JAV actress Kirara Asuka with her very own collection of cards dubbed the Kirara Asuka Official Card Collection. We got an eyeful of Asuka back then and it looks like we're going to see even more of her this summer.
Mint has announced their own collection dedicated to Kirara Asuka which features the actress in Jersey Cards, Photo Cards, Nipple Stamp Cards (no typo), and the highly valuable DNA Cards which contain a strand of Kirara's card. Y'know, just in case you want to clone her sometime in the future. Mint also touts a new type of card called the "Action Card" which may show Ms Kirara in some sort of kinetic pose. We're assuming Asuka's going to be photographed in a scene that's sports related such as throwing a baseball or flinging a javelin. Maybe she'll go fishing for some rainbow trout.
Preorders for the Juicy Honey Special Edition Kirara Asuka cards are welcome to ship on July 25, 2009 at JPY6300 or US$75.90 per box from NCS.
«©NCSX» Wave has already started preorders for their Kujikawa Rise figure but Alter one-ups them with a new Kujikawa figure that's in direct contrast to Wave's dark-garbed rendition. Alter's version of Rise is as bright as the beach under a noontime sun where the idol wears a two-piece "Persona 4" bikini that's colored yellow and orange. If you look closely at the right cup of the bikini top, the URL for the Persona 4 website may be viewed.
The Kujikawa figure is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 22cm or 8.66" tall. A pair of matching strappy sandals may be seen on Rise's feet and her hair appears to be shabby. The wind rolling in from the ocean tends to be strong and will dishevel even well coiffed idols. Accessories included with the Kujikawa figure include a pair of beach glasses that may be mounted on her face and a cell phone attached to a miniature Kuma strap that may be gripped by Kujikawa's right hand. Preorders are welcome to ship in late September 2009 at JPY 6800 or US$83.90 from NCS.
«©NCSX» Hawaiian shirts are so 70's but they still hold some charm thanks to their wild colors, jagged designs, palm trees, and Slimes. That's right, SLIMES. When Square Enix ships the Smile Slime Aloha Shirt this summer, randy wearers will be able to show off their sense (or lack) of style.
Only one size is being offered by SQEX - a Medium Free-Size made of 100% cotton which measures 71cm (27.95") from collar to hem and 58cm (22.83") across the chest. If you're bigger than those sizes, take note that Square Enix doesn't want your business and plot your revenge accordingly. Preorders are welcome to ship in late July 2009 at JPY5800 or US$63.90.
