2014 MOTUC Club Eternia Subscription Meets Its Goal – YOU HAVE THE POWER!
Akiba Hobby's preview of the Cu-Poche Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko has arrived, giving us a little chance to look up close at her accessories and faces. I think the most interesting one is her oni mask, which does feature a little strap on the back so she can wear it. Presumably, you can have your other Cu-Poche wear it, too. She's also got Nekozou at her side and a meatbun to munch down on.
Tsukiko is arriving in December; anyone got her pre-ordered?
Tim Stephson has put out quite a few resin pieces and customs in the past, but the Austin, Texas-based artist is dipping his toes into the designer vinyl world now with Grim Creeper. The piece is a spooky, 8-inch, glow in the dark figure with five points of articulation, and to help cover production costs, he's set up an IndieGoGo page. The donations will go toward covering costs for prototyping, steel molds, vinyl production and packaging ... or in other words, the production process itself. Collectibles aren't always cheap.
With a deadline of Sept. 22 and a goal of US$7,200, the IndieGoGo campaign has a ways to go. If you're interested, though, you can pre-order at the link provided in the last sentence. A total of 100 of these are available for US$75, and if the goal isn't met, everyone will get a refund.
There's no limit in Japan as to what they can put a logo on and get people to buy. Whether it's cup noodle Gundam kits or Evangelion razors people will buy pretty much anything emblazoned with their favorite characters on it. One Piece has had its own share crazy cross promotions over the years, the latest being a new line of PC eye glasses.
Designed to help reduce eye strain from looking at PC monitors for hours at a time JINS will be releasing nine different glasses representing all of the current members of the Straw Hat pirate crew. The glasses work by reducing potentially eye-damaging HEV light coming from brightly lit monitors. For ¥4,990 the glasses for Luffy, Chopper, Robin, and Brook reduce HEV light by 50% while the Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Franky glasses reduce it by 35%. For an additional ¥4,990 the lenses can be replaced with ones for even heavier PC use. Six web-limited colors are also being produced for the six original members: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper.
Ordering the glasses through JINS' website will get you a bonus Gum-Gum Fruit charm while ordering from their Rakuten or Amazon stores will get you a figure charm to go with each pair. Buying from a JINS store location will also get you a special bag. Each pair also comes with soft case. The dedicated collector can also buy a complete set with all 10 charms and a special case for ¥44,910. Each store will will have a different version of the case.
What do you think, are you a crazy enough fan to put a set of eyewear on the shelf next to all of your One Piece figures?

Since Plants Vs. Zombies 2 has recently been given to the greedy, money-bearing masses, it felt only appropriate that I address its release with something relevant. The Plants Vs. Zombies Lawn Decorations were the most relevant thing I could find, since I am currently working on one of my biggest projects yet: ticking off the neighborhood board by breaking their “lawn conformity” guidelines. That, and sneaking out at night to put forks in everybody’s lawns. Above, you can see a ...

Do you remember what was in your toy box as a kid? I bet somewhere buried deep under the teddy bears, dolls and loose pieces of LEGO, you had a set of wooden alphabet blocks. Or at least I should say, I did. I don’t have too good a memory […]
