NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» When the divas of today were still waddling around in their diapers, Miss Piggy was the Original Diva (O.D.) who showed the world how to be a songstress as well as a lady. Make that a loud and vainglorious lady who had much love for a frog. Miss Piggy could rock an outfit with style and grace but her singing voice could've used a little more bass. Piggy had vocal shortcomings but she had a buxom figure which allowed her to fill stage outfits and costumes to draw attention away from the music.

The Tonner "My Fair Piggy" figure clads the porcine singer in an outfit that Eliza Doolittle would wear with two big satiny bows that shine like blue satin never shone before. Piggy's piercing baby blue eyes and the blue trim on her outfit add some more azure to the ensemble. Preorders welcome.

Wii Muramasa: The Demon Blade - New Domestic, In Stock

From the Publisher
A number of cursed blades exist throughout the world. Blades that thirst for blood the moment they're drawn. Even those blades thought to be holy slowly become corrupted over time as they are used in hatred and drenched in blood. Those who wield these blades slowly become homicidal. The curses laid on these blades are said to condemn those who use them to tragic and untimely deaths. It is in the Genroki era, a period of time in which the shogun Tsumayoshi Tokogawa reigned, that the force of the damned began to emerge, threatening the peace and prosperity that had long existed in the world. The cursed blades became the focus of the greed, self-righteousness, and arrogance of those who'd gain possession of them, and inevitably it was these conflicting desires that led to war. As the flames of chaos and disaster spread, denizens from the netherworld were dragged into the confusion as not only the evil spirits were summoned by the swords, but the Dragon and Demon Gods as well. How will the destinies of those drawn to these cursed blades unfold?

Set during the feudal Genroku era, Muramasa features two distinct heroes Kisuke, a brave young lad whos lost his memory, and Momohime, a lithe female ronin possessed by a dark spirit.

TOYS Jabba the Hut Supreme Edition Costume - New, SOLD OUT

From the Distributor
Become one of the richest gangsters of a Galaxy Far, Far Away with the Jabba the Hutt Supreme Edition Costume! This full-body costume will transform you into the famous Hutt with a body piece (complete with tail), headpiece, and a battery-operated fan to keep you cool.

NCS Product Description
When NCS started accepting preorders for the Hutt costume, we assumed there'd be apathy from the marketplace. Wrong. It sold like gangbusters and we're thinking there's going to be a bunch of Jabbas roaming around the streets when Halloween 2009 rolls around.

The manufacturer Rubie's Costume Company doesn't state what the costume is made of on the product packaging but we originally assumed highly flammable plastic. It's actually made of a mix of cloth and polyester based on our touching and feeling of the costume that we're keeping for our private collection. An orange fan with on-off attachment is included with each costume to inflate the Jabba suit to its full girth. NCS will probably hire someone to wear the Jabba outfit and a sandwich board whenever the Playstation 4 is announced so we can get some local pre-sales. We're just hoping the cops won't arrest whomever we hire for causing a spectacle and possibly a public nuisance by way of Jabba. All preorders ship today.

TOYS Street Fighter: Cammy 1/4 Scale Statue - Now In Stock

From the Manufacturer

Sculpted by Jerry Macaluso, Cammy stands nearly 20' tall, features a cloth costume taken from the video game series, and is made of polystone. The statue also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Painted and ready to display.

NCS Product Notes
We checked out the Cammy figure soon after it arrived earlier today and the sculpture by Macaluso is top-notch. Cammy's musculature is evident and her sinewy tendons are visible through her taut PVC skin. Cam's body is realistically proportioned and her face is well sculpted with sharp features and blazing eyes. A raspberry beret tops her head and provides visual contrast to Cammy's sunny blonde locks. «Larger Photos»

TOYS Barbie Twilight Doll - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The merchandising of pop-culture trends towards excess in Japan but North America isn't too far behind. Witness the Barbie-rization (no, that's not a real word) of the main characters from the popular Twilight franchise. Based on what we've gleaned from our sole viewing of the Twilight movie, Edward is an unconventional vampire who only feasts on the blood of animals and his skin sparkles in sunlight. Bella is a transfer student who becomes Edward's girlfriend even though she's a human. Intriguing.

From the Distributor
Twilight, both the novel series by Stephanie Meyer and the blockbuster film series starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, has become a worldwide phenomenon, as fans are drawn to the timeless romance between the mortal Bella and her vampire beloved Edward. Who better to capture the young star-crossed love of these two characters than Barbie and Ken? Bella is dressed in her trademark outfit of jeans, sneakers, and grey jacket as seen in the film. Edward has the pale skin and piercing eyes of the vampire. Preorders are welcome to ship in November 2009 at US$68.90 for both dolls as shown in the product photo.

BlazBlue Regular Edition - Expected Later Today

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The young'uns of today got it good. They don't know how good they got it. Back when we was kids, we had to walk 10 miles to school, eat hamburgers on plain Wonder Bread, rewind video tapes, and play Street Fighter II on a 16-bit Super Famicom. That was the Dark Ages when Japanese import games cost $160. Each.

Yep, the kids of today got it good. So good that they get to play arcade perfect conversions like BlazBlue for the measly fee of $60. The BlazBlue Taito Type X2 arcade kit was tempting when it dropped to US$2000 but $60? That's like manna from heaven. Don't even get me started on the home conversion perfection that is Death Smiles.

NCS originally stocked the first print limited edition of BlazBlue earlier this month but the regular edition (sans bonuses) has shipped from the publisher and is expected later this afternoon. New orders are welcome.

Knowing Blu-Ray - New Release, Ships in 24 Hours

From the Publisher - Academy Award(R) Winner Nicolas Cage ("National Treasure") stars in "Knowing", a gripping action-thriller of global proportions about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future - and sets out to prevent them from coming true. In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead. Fifty years later, a new generation of students examines the capsule's contents and the girl's cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Koestler. But it's Caleb's father, professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As John further unravels the document's chilling secrets, he realizes the document foretells three additional events - the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve John and his son. When John's attempts to alert authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try and prevent more destruction from taking place.
