A Little Bit on the 2.12 Ninja of the Month Side: February 2012’s Ninja of the Month is Dumpling Ninja. She runs a dumpling rescue program and adopts leftover dumplings as pets to the rest of Ninjatown. Dumpling Ninja comes with a dumpling, apron, and hat along with the normal assortment of NotM goods. Get her for $30 at the Shawnimals store.
Gift's Tako Luka plushes (reviewed) that were debuted in the winter of 2010 will soon be seeing another release at Japan's upcoming Wonder Festival. The Smiling and Angry faced Tako Lukas will be sold at this winter's event. Like the previous plushes, they are able to be linked together via the strap and loop on the top and bottom of each Tako Luka.
These two plushes are listed on the Gift online store as straps, so I imagine the magnetic tentacles that the rest of the plushes have are not present. The Smiling and Angry faced plushes are also listed as only one size (as far as I could find), 85 millimeters. Judging by the online listing, it seems that the plushes may be sold outside of the event as well. There is an event price listed of ¥1000 each but also a regular retail price of ¥1050. Hmm, the mystery deepens. Well, not really.

Remember how the other day we got a sneak peek at the figma for the Princess of the Crystal from Mawaru Penguindrum? Well, good or bad news, depending upon how your wallet is doing: she's open for pre-order! On top of seeing the princess in a little clearer photo, we get to see that her dress does flex a bit and his removable, the tails on the penguin hat are poseable, and she comes with a shouting face, an unhappy face and a regular face. But most importantly ... she comes with all three penguins, not just Penguin No. 3, and she can ride on top of the penguin's heads.
You're looking at a ¥4,571 retail price for the princess, who is a June release, but come on. You know you want it for the penguins alone.
At least I do.
