My Effin' Einstein - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» First of all, it's not really "My Effin' Einstein" and the real product title from the manufacturer uses the "F" word. We're reluctant to use profanity on the website so we're substituting a close approximation. In any case, the Einstein toy from glamsenses Crowds of Hoods is sculpted by an artist dubbed "Lucky Rudy" and is made of PVC.
For a bit of background, there's a photo of Albert Einstein where the famous physicist sticks his tongue out and gives a photographer named Arthur Sasse the proverbial literal raspberry. Einstein's expression in that photograph is sculpted into the MEE figure but there's something more. Einstein pulls a Van Gogh or maybe a Yakuza move where he severs his pinky finger from his left hand. A tourniquet is also applied on the finger to stem the flow of blood while specks of blood are splattered on Einstein's hand. Nice. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2009 at JPY6500 or US$69.90 from NCS.

Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls: Yagyu Jubei 1/8 Scale Figure

«©NCSX» Yagyuu Jubei Mitsuyoshi is a legendary samurai whose life and times have been chronicled and fictionalized by numerous written works, manga, and television series. Jubei is a male figure (trust us, we checked) from Japanese history but in a few months, you'll be able to check him out in the persona of a girl. Not just any girl though - Jubei has become a ginger with an attractive figure and a sassy attitude. She also has a thick length of braided white rope attached to her back.

The upcoming Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls: Yagyu Jubei 1/8 Scale Figure is the result of a partnership between Hobby Japan Magazine and Alter. The design for Jubei is by Niθ （にしー）who's employed by Nitro+ and has worked on Jingai Makyo, DemonBane, and Moon Phase among others. The figure is made of PVC and is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 22cm or 8.66" tall. Preorders are welcome to ship in late August 2009 at JPY7800 or US$78.90 from NCS.

RAH #544 Naked Snake Cold War Version - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Solid Snake or just Snake strikes an imposing figure when garbed in dark combat fatigues and camouflage. Gruff, surly, and overly serious, Snake usually has a cigarette pursed between his lips. We think he's smoking a Marlboro but there's no way in hell it's a Pall Mall. Snake's dark garb is conducive to stealth and sneaky tactics when he does those things that he does.

Medicom's latest rendition of Snake (well, Big Boss really... but they're clones anyway) for their renowned Real Action Heroes figure series takes inspiration from Metal Gear Solid 3 and puts our favorite special ops wunderkind in a decidedly flamboyant outfit. The bright orange utilitarian uniform that Snake's wearing basically screams "Look at me!" at the top of its lungs and the yellow hammer and sickle etched across the front connotes cold war Mother Russia.

The upcoming RAH Naked Snake figure measures 30cm or 11.81" tall and is equipped with the usual accoutrements needed for a special ops mission. Please note the figure is limited to only 1000 units. The last time this happened with the original RAH Snake, we got a total of 6 pieces (1 case) despite preordering 96 (16 cases). As such, please be aware that prices may increase to loftier levels in case of shortages and we're forced to secure inventory from retail sources at retail prices. Thanks.

TEE Taito Game T-Shirt Bubble Bobble [LARGE] - SOLD OUT

«©NCSX» Bubblun is a green dragon who blows bubbles in the game Bubble Bobble. One of Bubblun's adversaries in the game is a hooded goblin named Drunk who doesn't even appear until stage 50. The first few enemies that Bubblun encounters are the chomping Zen-Chan, Maita, and Monsta. None of those early-level enemies appear in Taito's upcoming Bubble Bobble T-shirts but Drunk makes the cut to join Bubblun in their respective t-shirts.

The LARGE size of the Bubble Bobble Bubblun t-shirt arrived today but only a partial shipment made it in. The remainder should arrive next week but we'll begin processing and shipping the first 1/2 of our preorders this afternoon. The t-shirt is nice and thick with a crew neck collar. If you see a somewhat malnourished waif stumbling around Manhattan this weekend wearing a beautiful Bubblun t-shirt, that's one of ours.
