 TOYS Korokoro Sweets Collection - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Whenever someone says, "I have a sweet tooth," as if it was something that needed to be stated, the appropriate reply should be, "Who doesn't?" The human palate craves sweets and the addiction starts in the cradle and endures until the grave.

   Japanese toy manufacturer System Service pay homage to the sugar blues by producing a set of toys called Korokoro Sweets Collection which features five cookies and a biscuit that are fixed with an attached keychain. Each cookie measures approximately 9cm or roughly 3.54" in diameter and is detailed with realistic textures, surfaces, and syrupy toppings. NCS would recommend keeping the toys away from small children since they look realistic and might be eaten in the wrong hands. Preorders are welcome to ship in March 2011 at JPY1200 or US$20.90 from NCS.

 TOYS Mori No Chichan Nakama Tachi - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Furry rodents are on the loose in Epoch's Mori No Chichan Nakama Tachi collection of toys. Each rodent is accompanied by a segment of stump which provides shelter as well as a pedestal upon which to sit. The set of toys features four mice-like creatures and one mushroom. The mushroom is also accompanied by a stump which it can hide within since everyone knows that mushrooms are highly desirable.

   Each rodent measures 8cm or 3.14" in length and is covered in soft and plushy fur. The tails attached to each toy are rigid but they may be moved slightly for whatever reason. Preorders for the complete set of five toys are welcome to ship in April 2011 at JPY1200 or US$20.90 from NCS.

 TOYS Puroresu Waza Diecast Strap - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Wrestling's pretty popular in Japan and puroresu (professional wrestling) has engendered an industry of toys, books, magazines, video games, and trinkets.

   A total of five straps are featured in the set which depict two wrestlers engaged in the sport of grappling, flipping, and smacking. The wrestlers are tethered by way of small rings to a strap but they may be removed from their respective rings and then positioned into various wrestling poses. Preorders for the complete set of five Puroresu Waza straps are welcome to ship in March 2011 at JPY1200 or US$20.90.
