Zelda Phantom Hourglass Gashapon - New, In Stock

Zelda no Densetsu: Mugen no Sunadokei (aka The Phantom Hourglass) was a grand adventure that took gamers across the seas in a quest to save Tetra and undermine the machinations of a demon named Bellum. It's been a while since the game came out but that's not stopping Yujin from releasing a collection of toy figures based on the characters of the Phantom Hourglass. In the photo to the left, they are (from the upper left and rolling clockwise):

» Link with Hourglass
» Captain Linebeck with Rupee
» Goron Family [Father, Son]
» Phantom with Force Gem
» Tetra with Heart

Each figure measures approximately 2" tall and NCS supplies this toy as a complete set of five figures as shown. No need to suffer duplicates...

Idol Yakyuen 2 - New Import, In Stock

When faced with an attractive idol, the first thought that should pop up in your mind is, "I'm gonna play rocks-scissors-paper against her." There are other activities that might be possible but janken action is all we're recommending to lighten up the atmosphere and eventually get the idol out of her clothes.

Similar to other Yakyuken games on the PSP, the idol does a little dance and then throws out her hand. Your job is to choose rocks, scissors, or paper from the left sidebar. If she pushes out rock to your scissors, you lose. However, if she falters with paper against scissors, she's obligated to remove a piece of clothing. Your job is to continue onwards with the hand throwing contest until she's completely nude.

Idol Yakyuken 2 features the talents of Tina Yuzuki (Rio), Nao Yoshizaki, and Rin Sakuragi in three levels of janken theatrics where they dress up in different styles of clothing. In the first stage, the girls are in short shorts and belly shirts by the pool while the second stage offers up a cheerleader ensemble. The third and final stage goes with an eye-popping nurse theme that's worth the price of admission on its own. In addition to the janken fun, there's also an idol profile section with information on each gal.

Once naked, the girl is shown dallying around in a short video sequence that serves as your reward for winning the rock-scissors-paper challenge.

Final Fantasy IV Trading Arts Mini - Partial Arrival

When you're a fan of the Final Fantasy games, there's a lot of deja vu in your life. Square Enix has a penchant for re-releasing, rehashing, and repackaging their library of Final Fantasies with aplomb. It's like they know the market is going to eat up whatever they serve as long as those two magic words are somewhere on the packaging:

Final. Fantasy.

Ready for another meal? Good, because the first batch of the Final Fantasy IV Trading Arts Mini collection arrived today. Six recognizable characters are featured in the set including the ebon-armored Cain Highwood, the gruff Cid Pollendina, and the strangely effeminate Cecil Harvey. The remainder of our shipments should arrive in 4-7 days.

FFVII Potion with Trading Arts Mini - New Import, Sold Out

One month after the regular canned FFVII Potions were released in Japan, Square Enix releases another version of the FFVII Potion which is bundled with a trading figure. This move puts Square Enix under the banner of "Absolute Masters At Milking a Franchise. Bar None."

Eight varieties are featured in the release with special cans and exclusive figures which won't be released in any other format. For a bit of added flair, the can and figure are packaged in a sleek transparent case which probably adds to its collectible potential. According to the preorder numbers, only 1 million units of the FFVII Potion with Trading Arts Mini were produced at a price of JPY934 each. Due to the express shipping costs for the heavy cans, NCS is pricing each Potion at US$17.50. Preorders will ship today but we are SOLD OUT as of this morning.

New orders for GT5 Prologue submitted today will not ship until Monday when our second shipment arrives.
