NCS Preorder Synopsis

TOYS Seikon No Qwaser Cafe Ekaterina Kurae - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Hailing from the Seikon no Qwaser manga and animated series, the blonde copper-controlling moppet named Ekaterina Kurae (nickname: Katja) looks like someone who might sit comfortably with the girls of Death Smiles. Ms Kurae looks older than the DS lolitas but she makes up for her years with an outfit and overall appearance that's gothic enough to allow her passage into an exclusive club.

The Cafe Ekaterina Kurae figure from Evolution Toy is sculpted to no particular scale but she measures 17cm (6.69") tall and is articulated for posing purposes. Accessories and parts included with the figure include replacement hands, replacement faces, a replacement chest-piece, and a mounting stand.

EAT One Piece Spoon & Fork Set [Reissue] - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Jolly Roger is an ominous symbol that's recognized by seamen and pirates who sail the high seas. The latter group is usually on the water with the sole intent of robbing folks of their loot. In modern land society, the skull and crossbones symbol isn't really found anywhere except on packs of vermin bait and bottles of poison. It is an oddity then that Cospa has announced new preorders for eating utensils which are topped by the Jolly Roger - a fork and a spoon that are accompanied by a symbol of poison. If NCS was to consult our feng-shui master for his advice, we're fairly certain he'd look at the utensils for about 3 seconds and then shake his head in disdain. Sharp objects, decay, and corpselike imagery are generally taboo in feng-shui.

With that in mind, NCS opens up preorders for the One Piece Spoon & Fork Set from Cospa which are made of stainless steel. Each utensil measures 17cm or 6.69" in length. Reservations are welcome to ship in mid-late May 2010 at JPY1200 or US$15.90 from NCS.

EAT Stitch Ice Cream Maker - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» On a recent visit to Toys R' Us, one of the toys on the shelves was a flimsy-looking ice cream maker that was made of plastic. Two happy kids were on the cardboard box cover and they appeared to be having a blast making ice cream. It was comical, sad, and ludicrous at the same time.

Then we saw the Stitch Ice Cream Maker in one of this week's new preorder solicitations from overseas. We had to get one. Even if it would never be used to make ice cream, we had to have one. Sega's behind this particular ice cream contraption and if we're to believe the instructions, a can filled with ice cubes, some simple ingredients, and a liberal amount of hand cranking is all that's needed to make ice cream. The photo included in the preorder solicitation depicts ice cream that looks like it just came out of a professional dispenser. Preorders are welcome to ship in July 2010 at US$26.90 from NCS. Please note that it's almost a certainty that the quality of ice cream that's churned from the Stitch Ice Cream Maker will be bad.

TOYS Iron Man 2 Whiplash Movie Masterpiece - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie, the bad guy "Whiplash" is played by Mickey Rourke. The Whiplash stills from the movie look like a hot mess but maybe they're going for that bum-jalopy-contraption look. Hot Toys has announced preorders for a Movie Masterpiece version of Whiplash which is sculpted to 1/6 scale and measures 30cm (11.81") tall. To embellish to figure with exacting details, the hair and beard of whiplash has been hand-painted and his face is full of world-weary wrinkles. The figure has over 30 moving parts; accessories in the box include a Death Whip, two pairs of replacement hands, and an Arc Reactor that lights up. Preorder

TOYS Queens Blade Reina 1/6 Scale Figure - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Daiki Kougyo has created some exceptional figures in their history and we've collected all of them. The cost gets a little excessive at times but the figures are scaled large and the quality is generally of a higher caliber which justifies the lofty ticket prices. The Koyori figure comes to mind as an exceptional piece along with the Kanu Unchou Miko version. For their next project, Daiki is bringing the image of Queens Blade's Reina to PVC as sculpted by Shunji Hagii. Reina measures 26cm or 10.24" tall.

Daiki's recreation of Reina shows her in a staggering posture. Her knees are about to knock together and her breastplate has apparently splintered away into nothingness. To retain her modesty, Reina wrestles her right arm around her bosom in a futile attempt to shield it from the view of voyeurs. A weapon may be attached to her right hand so that she appears somewhat threatening despite Reina's state of undress. Preorders are welcome to ship in August 2010 at JPY15800 or US$180.90 from NCS.

NDS Hakuouki DS Limited Edition - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Originally released for the PS2 in the autumn of 2008 and then ported over to the PSP last summer, Idea Factory rehashes Hakuouki once again for the Nintendo DS. The game is based on the Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan animated serial which features a cast of chiseled lads who all sport healthy heads of feathery hair. The boys are all noticeably feminine in terms of facial features, sleek, lanky, and some are even brooding.
The protagonist in the game is a physician's daughter in Edo-era Japan. One day, the doctor goes to Kyoto on an assignment for the Shogunate but seemingly disappears. The heroine resolves to go into Kyoto herself to search for her father and in the interim, meet a bunch of boys who'll help her and potentially fall in love with her. The Nintendo DS conversion of the game features voice acting and a 500-question quiz game which is all about the Hakuouki game. The limited edition includes the following bonus items which are packaged with the game card in a cardboard container:

» Voice drama and producer interview CD which spans 27 minutes

PSP Saki Portable Roof-Top Box - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the Saki-Saki manga/animation series, a girl named Saki Miyanaga has perfected the art of breaking even (+/- zero score) on every mahjong game that she plays. Her unusual proclivity and luck leads her to the school mahjong club followed by the national mahjong tournament.
Join three heroines named Saki, Nodoka, and Yuki in bouts of PSP mahjong action. The girls are joined by fellow mahjong players including the glasses-wearing Mako, a waif with a deep-voice who answers to Hisa, a blonde named Touka, a younger blonde called Koromo, a girl with different-colored eyes named Mihoko, and many more.

The limited edition "Roof Top Box" version of Saki Portable includes the following bonuses:

» Three miniature figures (Saki, Nodoka, and Yuki)

PSP Sora no Otoshimono: DokiDoki Summer Vacation [DX Pack]

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Tomoki Sakurai is a lad who lives in the quaint little town of Sorami. Life is quiet so Tomoki gets his kicks by being a peeping tom who has a number of prime viewing areas that he has mapped around town. Tomoki would be content to live this way forever but one night, a strange event changes his life forever. While watching the sky with two friends, an object falls from the heavens which turns out to be a female being known as an Angeloid. Her name is Ikaros and she sports a shock of pink hair, angel wings, and a large bosom. Ikaros bonds with Tomoki and takes him on a radical change of life experiences.

The PSP game plies the interactive adventure trade which features a new story based on the animated source material. The dialogue is accompanied by speech for added ambience. At the outset of the adventure, the somewhat mechanical song of the cicada signals the approach of summer. Once the warm weather arrives, the citizenry of Sorami visit hot springs, the beach, parks, and other locations that are amenable to lazy day lounging and sloth. It is within this backdrop that the cast of the PSP game interact, utilize card magic, and effect changes in the Angeloids that populate the adventure. The DX Pack edition includes the following items:

» Shower curtain which measures 1200 x 1800mm in area
»
Business card carrying case which features a laser-etched design on top
»
A sheet of colorful decals which depict the cast of characters in the anime

PS3 Hokuto Musou - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the Hokuto no Ken animated series, the heroic Kenshiro Kasumi wanders the wastelands of the future and plays the part of lawman. Ken battles gangs of bandits and thugs to bring a bit of law and civility back into the world.

In Hokuto Musou, Kenshiro battles groups of bare-chested bruisers who wear leather pants. They'll crowd around Ken like a pack of wolves but he can fend them off by punching, kicking, and using the almighty
Hokuto Shinken martial art which is capable of destroying enemies from within. Body blows result in copious spurts of blood which eject from thug bodies and some attacks turn foes into what can only be described as "Sloppy Joes." Without the bread.

PSP Prinny 2: Toukou Yuugi! Akatsuki no Pantsu Daisakusen!!

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Thanks to Prinny's valiant efforts in the first Prinny game on PSP, gluttony still exists in the world of Disgaea. In particular, mistress Etna was exceptionally hungry for her dessert in the original game which Prinny helped to satiate. In the sequel, a panty-thieving fiend has snuck into Etna's boudoir and spirited away her skivvies. We imagine them to be lacy, dainty, and irresistible to the type of individual who steals underwear. That's where Prinny rolls in once again to bring back Etna's drawers before outright war is announced.

Similar to the first game, Prinny runs from left to right across platform stages and attacks with both sword and eldritch magic. Brand new enemies, challenges, and new Prinny techniques give the sequel added attraction for fans. Prinny may perform the following moves:

» Standard sword slash where enemies are hacked to death
» Leaping projectile attack where Prinny jumps upwards and fires away
» Plunging dive where Prin flies up and then hurtles down diagonally
» Wario-style butt-bounce attack where Prinny lands on enemies
» Weaponry such as flamethrowers and firearms may be utilized

Prinny carries a sword in each wing for double slashing action. He can perform a diving slide move and a twirling motion which allows him to bypass obstacles as well as whack enemies with his rapidly spinning self.
