TOYS Water Turtle (Midori Gan) Strap X Magnet Gashapon

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»  Turtles are probably immortal. Along with anecdotal evidence from our forebears in the Far East and this NYT article, NCS has owned a bunch of turtles in the States for nearly 3 decades now. They're still as lively and boisterous (especially around lunch time and dinner time) as ever and they'll likely outlive us by at least a century.

   Turtle toys aren't too common in Japan but we generally grab a few factory cases whenever they're released just for our own pleasure. Japanese manufacturer Kitan Club has announced a set of Water Turtle Strap X Magnet gashapon which feature red-eared sliders and albino sliders. Some of the rascals are hiding in their shells while others are walking towards some unseen destination. A strap is tethered to each turtle and a magnet allows for adhesion to metallic surfaces.

Turtles Gashapon

«©NCS» There's a restaurant that we visit once in a while which has stylized pool of sorts in the waiting area. In that pool live a number of red-eared sliders including some small ones and a monster that's the largest slider we've ever seen. It's bigger than a football and we didn't know sliders grew that large. The manager at the restaurant explained that turtles are considered lucky because of their longevity.

Yujin originally released the Turtles Gashapon a while ago but due to outstanding demand, the company has decided to produce a new batch for the market. The turtles measure approximately 6cm or 2.36" each and include sea turtles with flippers, box turtles, snapping turtles, and red-eared sliders. We plan on giving a set to the restaurant so they can double their luck. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late September 2007.
