Tottado! Yoiko no Mujintou Seikatsu - Preorder

The comedy team of Masaru Hamaguchi and Arino Shinya known as Yoiko join together for a mini-game match-up where the duo are stranded on a deserted island. Since there's not much going on except for survival, the two comics forage for food and play many mini-games such as catching fish, manning the hibachi, and living the island life. The touch pen is used to perform basic maneuvers and a game sharing function allows multiple players to join in the fun with only 1 cartridge-enabled Nintendo DS in the local area. Preorders ship on April 3, 2008.

Guilty Gear X 1/7 Scale I-NO Figure - New, In Stock

The first word that comes to mind when checking out Max Factory's Guilty Gear X I-NO figure is "funky." Some other words that might be bandied about the room could be "flaky," "ditzy," and conditionally "sexy" in a crazy sort of way.

As one might have surmised from the product header, I-NO hails from the Guilty Gear X games where she serves a shadowy figure known as Ano Otoko. Under instructions from Ano Otoko, I-NO machinates and manipulates the fighters in the Guilty Gear X game against each other. In the Guilty Gear XX sequel, I-NO is the boss character and the ultimate opponent in the game. I-NO's primary weapon is an electric guitar which she strums to blow out sonic blasts and wreaks havoc on opponents by swinging it like an actual axe. I-NO's witch hat also provides offensive capability to stun oncoming attackers.

Max Factory's Guilty Gear I-NO PVC figure is set at 1/7 scale and measures 26.50cm or 10.43" tall. The likeness of the figure is true to I-NO's wacky video game persona and her body is posed in a manner which conveys her unique personality.

Dengeki Figure Navi Vol. 1 - Old Import, In Stock

A couple of years ago, NCS cleared out a few thousand Japanese gaming magazines that were sitting in storage. Famitsu was well represented as was Saturn Fan, Playstation Fan, and a bunch of magazines from the Dengeki publishing empire. Dengeki started out covering the realm of gaming but they've branched out in recent years to also provide coverage for toy figures that were once the domain of periodicals such as Hobby Japan and Hyper Hobby.

Today's Dengeki Figure Navi Vol. 1 mook (magazine/book) is a few months old and many of the toys featured on its pages have either been released already or will be released soon. Some examples:

pg 004-026 Haruhi Suzumiya toy figures and kits galore
pg 036-040 Gainax figures including Tengen Toppa Lagann Yoko
pg 057-059 Alter's Trigger Heart Exelica, KOS-MOS ver. 4, and Saber Maid
pg 071-073 Kanu Unchou Chained, CGC Poison, and Creator's Labo #13
