TOYS Mario & Yoshi Mascot Plush Toy - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Some guys roll into town on a sweet 1970s station wagon with authentic wood paneling on the side. Can you say "vintage?" Other guys go to town on a horse. Y'know, those animals with four legs that whinny and can split a man's head open with one kick. Then there's Mario.

   Mario rides on a beast named Yoshi. Keep in mind that Mario weighs at least 250 lbs before lunch so Yoshi's carrying a real heavy load. If the visual of Mario upon Yoshi isn't materializing in your mind, Japanese manufacturer Sanei's getting you clued in this week. The Mario + Yoshi plush measures approximately 12" tall and the two heroes are sewn together so they're inseparable. We didn't look underneath Mario but he might be able to be separated from Yoshi if you snip a few threads but that's up to you. Since Mario weighs a lot, the Mario & Yoshi plush can't stand up by itself but you can prop it up against something to keep them upright.

NDS Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren 5 - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Shiren the Wanderer and his faithful pet ermine Koppa are back in another dungeon exploration thriller. If you've never enjoyed a Fushigi no Dungeon game, here's how they work: Players explore a dungeon where every movement is stutter-step and in sync with everything else in the game world. For example, when you make a move, all monsters in the room also make a move in time to every step you take. That means when Shiren is next to a monster and he attacks the beast, the beast counterattacks right afterwards.
   The scenario in Furai no Shiren 5 is brand new and wireless connectivity is supported so players can trade items and equipment with each other. Early preorders will ship with a bonus soundtrack in 50% ratio from Chunsoft.
