Lise no Atelier Regular Edition

Once upon a time, there was a quaint kingdom with cottages and clean streets. In that kingdom lived a red-haired princess named Lisette Lander and an extravagant king in green robes and other finery. One day, the royal treasurer unrolls a parchment and informs the king that the royal family is not only destitute but in debt. Mortified and plunged into a state of angst, the Princess runs away and sleeps in the forest for the night. She continues traveling until she reaches the kingdom of Ordre. Once there, she figures out that the only way to rebuild the family fortune is by learning alchemy and bringing honor back to her kingdom. By deftly using the art of transmutation and reagent mixing, Lise creates objects and items that may be sold for a handsome profit. «more»

Hello Kitty China Set

Fine china from Tiffany is generally desirable. We're partial to the Audobon design pattern versus the Federal or the Birds of the Nile pattern but they're all pleasing to the eye.
Hello Kitty has no pedigree in the world of fine china but maybe the line starts now. Sanrio by way of Eikoh releases a Hello Kitty China set which includes two cups, two saucers, and a creamer. Each item is decorated with a blue Hello Kitty + flowers pattern which may evoke feelings of melancholy or just a little sobriety. The saucers feature sloped edges which ensure that any spilled liquid from the cups will gravitate to the center instead of splashing outwards. Orders are welcome at US$39 per set. «more»

Disney Characters Chibizu Yukiwari

Cutesy characters wedged within inner tubes don't have much in the way of practical uses but they may keep a small rodent afloat if stranded on the Sargasso Sea.

Sega's upcoming toys measure 19cm or 7.48" in diameter each and five styles are on offer as follows: Mickey in Blue/Clear inner-tube, Mickey in Red/Clear inner-tube, Marie in a Pink/Clear inner-tube, Stitch in Lt-Green/Clear inner-tube, Pooh in Aqua/Clear inner-tube. Preorders are welcome to ship in August 2007 at US$10 per figure.

Disney Characters Pop Candy

Chupa Chups are a brand of lollipop which are wrapped with a distinctive wax wrapper. Sega's Disney-branded lollipops look like Chupa Chups but feature wrappers that depict various Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Stitch.

Looking over the product photo, we're guessing the green Mickey lollipop tastes like a sour apple, the pink Minnie lollipop is bubblegum flavor, and the yellow Winnie the Pooh tastes of creamy banana. Five flavors will be available and preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007.

Mickey & Minnie Chibizu Beverage Holder

We've never found a need for beverage holders or sleeves of any kind but we're sure that some people swear by them. The apparent purpose of such a sleeve is temperature maintenance in that a cold drink keeps chilled and a hot drink remains piping for inordinate amounts of time. Sort of like a thermal sweater of sorts.

In keeping with today's Disney theme, Sega has started preorders for two beverage holders in the shape of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The actual holder is a pouch that's sewn into the body of the figure which expands to hold a mug or cup securely in its confines and theoretically keep the drink at a certain temperature. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August.

Mickey & Minnie Chibizu SJ Tissue Box

A standard cardboard box serves well as a tissue dispenser because it's convenient, simple, and practical. For those in the general population who prefer fancier tissue boxes, check out the 30cm (11.81") long Mickey & Minnie tissue boxes from Sega. Insert a batch of tissues into the box and then slip the top sheet of tissue through the slit on top. From that point hence, each and every subsequent tissue is partially ejected for easy removal.
The Mickey and Minnie figures are topped onto toboggan-shaped tissue boxes where they adopt sprawling toboggan-like postures on their elbows and knees. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007 at US$15 per tissue box.

Shining Wind Trading Collection Figure

Six characters and their weapons from the Shining Wind video game are sculpted into plastic PVC representations of themselves in Yujin's upcoming gashapon set. . The figures feature accurate clothing style reproduction and the colors are spot-on. Each toy figure measures approximately 12cm or 4.72" tall. Seven standard figures and one secret figure are randomly packaged in each factory case of 10 toys. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2007 at US$60 per factory case.
