Along with the Chocobo toy, Square is including a special registration code which allows jaded FFXI players to obtain an in-game item in the form of a virtual stuffed Chocobo toy.

Piyo-Chan Gomu Miniature Mascot Strap - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» NCS received the GA-KO Alarm Clock last year and it basically changed the way we looked at ducks. Once relegated in our envisioning to dull birds with bills that floated on water, GA-KO showed us that ducks and proper branding could capture the hearts of millions. Well, make that 2000 GA-KO-limited-edition-loving hearts.

The diminutive Piyo-Chan isn't as edgy or active as GA-KO but he doesn't have to be. Piyo can just sit/stand there and stare out into the world with beady eyes and still capture a few hearts. The latest rendition of Piyo-Chan is the Piyo-Chan Gomu Miniature Mascot Strap from Eikoh which ships this summer. Five styles are on offer and all of them have little white angel wings on the back. Four of the Pi-Chan mascots measure roughly 3.0cm (1.18") tall while a larger variant clocks in at 4.50cm (1.77") tall. Preorders for the complete set of all five mascot straps are welcome to ship in Aug 2009.
