Flight Delay....

NCS Product Update  

   Today's expected shipment of Japanese imports appears to have been delayed until tomorrow. The last location was in Louisville, KY as of this morning after 'A flight delay occurred because of aircraft mechanical reasons.' Great.

   If the shipment somehow makes it into New York later this afternoon, we'll update our customers but it seems to be arriving tomorrow based on the tracking information below. We've already printed all shipping labels and if your online order has been updated with a tracking number, please note that this number may change if we have to cancel shipping labels this afternoon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

TOY Homestar R2-D2 Home Planetarium - Sale Import US$68.90 Free shipping

NCS Product Synopsis

Update: October 13, 2011
«©NCSX» In the Star Wars movies, R2-D2 is capable of projecting holograms from its rotating dome. That's sort of the idea in Sega's new R2-D2 rendition of its popular Homestar planetarium gadget. Plant R2 on the floor, flip the switch and the little droid shoots out a projection of a star system on the ceiling complete with a Death Star. Sega touts 10,000 stars in the projection and advises consumers, "Adjust the projection lens and let the room turn into a wonderful starry sky! For relaxing times at home."

   If you're the type who enjoys sleeping under the stars, the Homestar R2-D2 gives nappers a night time show of the Milky Way that almost like lying down in a grassy meadow on a crystal clear night while staring upwards into the heavens. Without the grasshoppers, worms, and crickets.

TOYS Samurai Spirits Nakoruru 1/6 Scale Figure - Sale Import US$68.90 Free Shipping

NCS Product Synopsis  

   The sprightly Nakoruru originally captured the hearts of fighting fans in 1993 where she slashed and stepped her way to the top of the Samurai Spirits hierarchy. Over the years, NCS has peddled assorted Nakoruru figures including one with shabby hair and a wooden plank posture. Some were well done and welcome additions to our private collection... and others like the aforementioned doll were lacking.

 

   To bolster the Nakoruru cause, Lilics unleashes a dynamic figure which depicts the warrior woman in mid-slash whilst stepping lively in mid-air. Nakoruru's face is younger and sweeter than usual and her eyes are like saucers. The red and white ensemble catches the eye and the roiling robes beneath her body evoke visions of crashing waves upon a soapy surf. Or something like that. Nak's Chichi-ushi weapon is included in the package which may be inserted into the grip of her left hand. Nakoruru's right hand is busy holding a portion of her garb.

 

   Lilics' Art Storm Nakoruru sculpt is made of PVC and is a 1/6 scale figure which measures 20cm or 7.87" tall. The figure is pre-painted and fully assembled for immediate display.
