Japanese toy manufacturer Alter has opened up preorders for two 1/8 scale figures which are scheduled to ship in late May 2007.
1) Beat Angel Escalayer 1/8 Scale
Sayuka Kouenji is a mighty redheaded android who defends the planet from invaders known as the Dielast. To obtain her power, Sayuka engages in liaisons with her female android companion Madoka...
2) Jingai Makyo Kazeko 1/8 Scale
Kaze no Ushiro wo Ayumumono does a high step in a pair of barely there briefs. Alter has already sculpted Ignis from the Jingai Makyo eroge game and it's only fitting that Kaze represent as well.
The third Spiderman movie is set to bow this year and Medicom celebrates the occasion with two new Real Action Heroes - Classic Spiderman in the red + blue suit and Symbiotic Spiderman.
Pricing for the Japanese version of the RAH figures is set at US$159 each and delivery is expected in June 2007. Please note that USA versions of the RAH Spiderman figures are also expected this year at lower prices of US$89 per figure.
Since the first production of "The Rocking Machine" replica sold so well last year, Medicom has announced a reproduction which ships in June 2007. Originally sculpted by Herman Makkink for the 1971 film "A Clockwork Orange," the Rocking Machine may be seen rocking and used as a blunt force object in the movie.
Medicom's Rocking Machine measures 31.50 x 19.70 x 13.40" in dimension and is balanced imperfectly inside so that it shudders back and forth in a peculiar rhythm when set in motion. Who is the target market for this type of product you ask? We're guessing sophistos, fans of Herman Makkink, and Kubrick film buffs. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2007 at US$950 per Rocking Machine.
The Juicy Honey card collection expands by another set on March 24, 2007. Dubbed "Celebrities," the gals in the new card collection are well known adult models and film actresses in Japan. According to the preorder solicitation, a total of 72 regular cards are featured in the set along with 12 special cards. The types of cards are split into the following categories as listed below:
Autograph Cards
Message Cards
Honey Jersey Cards
Kiss Cards
Photo Cards
Autographed Photo Cards
Instant Photo Cards
Preorders are welcome to ship in late March 2007 at US$39 per factory case of 12 packs which contain 7 cards per pack.
Happinet Robin has started preorders for a piece of Space Battleship Yamato artwork which features two recognizable figures which pop out of the piece:
1) Starsha with her doleful eyes and blonde hair
2) The Space Battleship Yamato in all its glory
By "pop out," we mean it. Both Starsha and the Yamato are 3D models that poke out of the artwork and may be touched, examined, and photographed in their extruded forms. The dimensions of the product measure W210 x H297 x D140 mm (W8.27 x H11.69 x D5.51") and would look good hanging on a wall or mounted in a Yamato gallery. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late May 2007 at US$165.
Skeleton Playstation shells were the rage about a decade ago and NCS sold a few thousand units to customers around the world. We still have stock on hand...which is sad. We skipped the PS2 shells but Xbox 360 replacement shells are hot. Banish the vanilla casing of the Xbox 360 and replace it with a shiny chrome case with a mirror-like finish. Installation is relatively simple but full instructions have been linked below:
» Opening the Xbox 360 and removing the shell

Plain vanilla is okay on top of a waffle cone but it shouldn't be the default color for a mighty next generation console. To distinguish your Xbox 360 from everyone else's, replace the shell with a transparent XCM Diamond case which allows for easy inspection of the console's innards. In addition to the replacement Xbox 360 shell, a matching replacement joypad case is also included so you can view the internals of your controller.

Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft hasn't been snappy with releasing color variants of their gaming machines. Take things into your own hands by replacing the Xbox 360 shell with a beautiful glossy Black Knight case.
