Freddy vs Jason Fighting Game

Freddy, meet Jason and Jason, meet Freddy. What happens when two unstoppable forces of nature clash head on? The Freddy vs Jason movie was a letdown because it didn't resolve the age old question of "Who really wins?" but it doesn't have to be that way. Instead of relying on Hollywood to script the ending, pit Freddy against Jason in a fighting game where each fighter stabs and slashes like.... a little toy figure incapable of incurring any real damage. It'll be fun to watch in any case. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007 at US$15.

Freddy vs Jason 12cm Figures

You can't have a Horror Summer without bringing two of the scariest silver screen killers together in a figure offering. Freddy Kruegger wears his trademark claw-glove on his right hand while Jason Voorhees wields a blade capable of gutting fish, livestock, and the young adults in the neighborhood. The clothing that the two murderers wear is also somewhat accurate replicas of their movie incarnations. Freddy's shirt looks right, his face is burned, and the hat is spot on. Jason's ski mask is recognizable but we would have dressed him in rags instead of the all-black ensemble. The figures measure 12 cm tall and preorders will ship in mid-late August 2007.

Freddy vs Jason Cosplayer

If you've ever had the inclination to don a battle-weary hockey mask or wear a wicked looking clawed glove, your chance is nigh. Continuing the Horror Summer theme, Sega has announced two props for anyone aspiring to take on the personas of Freddy of Nightmare on Elm Street fame or Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th movies.

The claws look menacing but they're made of plastic. The mask measures 26cm and is affixed to a wearer's face by two straps. Through-holes are machined into the front of the to allow for gas exchange so you don't suffocate. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007.

He is My Master Bed Sheets

In the anime, "He is my Master," two runaway sisters named Mitsumi and Izumi became maids for an adolescent pervert with a hefty inheritance. To cater to master Yoshitaka's whims, the two girls were required to wear sexy maid's outfits which provided gratuitous views of their bodies.
Sega generally makes video games but the Sega Toys division makes bed sheets... at least in this case. Measuring 110 x 200cm (43 x 78") and considered twin size, the bed sheets cover up a bed with the image of either Mitsumi or Izumi in their dainty maid outfits. Why is it that maid outfits are always frilly and why are garters always involved? Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007 at US$19 per bed sheet.

Pink Panther Vanity Bag

«©NCS» The Pink Panther probably won't be used in couture circles as an emblem or mark but he'll do well in mass merchandise creations from the house of Omron. Two styles are on offer:

» Pink Bag with Pink Panther artwork on the front
» Black Bag with Pink Panther logo on the front

The dimensions of each bag are 15 x 22 x 16 cm (5.90 x 8.66 x 6.29") and they'll serve nicely as tote bags, lunch bags, or maybe even an overnight bag. The top opens and closes by way of zipper technology and a bow-decorated strap allows for easy carrying. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2007 at US$19 each.

Sesame Street Remote Control

Elmo of Sesame Street fame is usually tickled by millions of children around the world but he has a new job now. In Omron's upcoming product offering, the cheery bug-eyed beast controls the television. Fitted with soft-touch keys and sporting a non-ergonomic design, the Elmo Remote control looks like a toy or a big piece of hard candy. Elmo syncs up with televisions by emitting an infra-red key so that the receiver (the television) accepts 36kHz control signals from the transmitter (Elmo remote).

Two Elmo versions are available for preorder - Elmo holding a pink heart and Elmo holding an orange heart. Both versions serve the same function however and run on two AA batteries (not included). Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2007 at US$15 each.
