TOYS Star Wars Light Saber Kei MP3 Player - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Generic MP3 players from fly-by-night operations in China cost about $2.70 each in bulk. Add an FM radio function and you might bump the price up by about $0.45 each. We don't want those. We want Taito's officially licensed -=Star Wars Light Saber Kei MP3 Player=- which isn't generic. It's specialized and looks like a light saber handle with nifty and ornate detailing - the one on the right side of the photo even has a ribbed design. Won't find that in a no-frills generic player.

The Star Wars MP3 player measures 8cm or 3.14" in length and accepts songs stored on microSD memory card. There's no LCD screen to view the song list but tracks will be played in the order that they're stored on the memory card directory. Preorders are welcome to ship in February 2010.

TOYS Ikkitousen Kanu Unchou Ribbon Lingerie Ver - In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» When Kanu Unchou is alone in her boudoir, she dresses herself in ribbon-width undergarments and proceeds to cup her own bosom with both hands. It has to be true because that's what Taki Corporation has wrought with their latest interpretation of the Ikkitousen superstar.

The "Ribbon Lingerie" version of Kanu Unchou is set at 1/8 scale and measures 22cm or 8.66" tall. Kanu is dressed with hosiery on her legs, lacey armlets around her biceps, a whisper of frilly underwear, and a thick black ribbon which covers her bosom and terminates into a bow on front. It's sort of like a gift presentation or something to that effect. A circular display base is included with the figure which includes insertion holes so that the pegs on Kanu's feet may be bolted onto the base for stability.

All preorders for the Kanu figure have shipped as of yesterday afternoon and new orders are welcome to ship today. Pricing is set at JPY7800 or US$89.90 from NCS. Please note the figure incurs dimensional weight and we recommend only shipping by UPS Ground within the continental USA.

TOYS Monster Hunter Wii Remote Holder Airu / Guild Design - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» After we're done playing the latest Wii releases, the Nunchuk and Remote are generally strewn to the side. Underneath recent magazines. Next to the miniature Evangelion fridge.

There had to be a better way and Capcom shows us the path with their Monster Hunter Wii Remote Holder which coddles a Wii Remote and a Nunchuk in its cozy confines. The "Airu and Chacha" design on the front of the holder is not only artistic but somewhat interesting to stare at for about 3 minutes. The measurements of the holder are
15 x 19 x 9cm in dimension and we're assuming that it can serve a dual purpose as a fruit storage basket with a maximum capacity of two apples, lemons, or tangerines. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2009.

TOYS Monster Hunter Arm Rest

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» We never knew we needed an Arm Rest to play video games but Capcom's telling us that we do. Maybe the arm rest will ease the amount of fatigue that's inevitable when players are hacking and slashing like life, liberty, and the pursuit of real estate depended on it. Each arm rest measures 15 x 19 x 9cm and preorders are welcome to ship in December 2009.
