The most recent Kahotan preview is Nendoroid Uzume Uno, from the anime Fantasista Doll. While most of you would think I'd go nuts over the tiny hat, there's two little accessories I like better. One is the kissing face Uzume comes with; it's nice to see an expression like that which you can really re-use for a lot of other Nendos, should you choose. Likewise, she comes with a snare drum to re-enact a scene from the show, but I imagine that snare is going to get a lot of use among photographers for other Nendos, too.
Kahotan says she goes up for pre-order tomorrow, which for European and North American collectors means tonight, at presumably the same ¥3,334 price most Nendoroids retail at. Anyone going to pick her up?
UPDATE: All those pre-orders are open!

When you eat dessert as a mother, you sometimes wish that your baby also gets to eat some of it. But artificial flavoring, ice, color worry you and then you shelve the entire idea of making dessert for your baby. Why restrict the baby to BABY FOOD?
So here is a simple, kid friendly dessert for your baby – you might want to give this to your baby when she is over 9 months of age, when she is already a fair bit into eating solids.
This dessert doesn't use sugar or honey but instead uses coconut milk and jaggery for sweetening. It contains rice and daal which are easily digestible for your baby.
Ingredients:
One bowl of moong daal (soak for an hour)
One bowl of grated coconut
One bowl of rice (ground to fine powder)
JAGGERY to taste (100 gms roughly)
Ground dry fruits (cashew nuts, almonds and pistas)
One pinch of salt
Cardamom pods – 2 whole pods
Method
Run the grated coconut in a blender and squeeze out the coconut milk. You will get thick coconut milk this way. Keep this aside.
Add a little water this coconut in the blender – run it once again. You will get thin coconut milk this way.
Take the thin coconut milk. Add moong daal to it and bring it to a boil. Allow it to cook fully because it daal will not cook after adding jaggery.
To this boiling moong daal and coconut milk mixture add jaggery and allow it to dissolve.
Take the rice powder, add to a glass of water and make a thin paste. Add this to the boiling jaggery and moong daal mixture, while continuously stirring it.
Add crushed cardamom pods for flavor.
(Make sure you remove the pods before feeding the kheer to your baby)
Add crushed dry fruits to this mixture, after stirring in the cardamom
Add a pinch of salt and the thick coconut juice to this mixture. Boil this mixture only once.
Serve Warm
If you never thought of Naruto as cute before, that probably all changed with the show's recent addition of the occasionally inserted jinchuriki memorization songs, featuring a number of cast members in tiny chibi form urging viewers to recall the sudden info drop including the, well, names of the jinchuriki and their tailed beasts. Recalling those cute little things, this blind box set of Petit Chara Land figures from Megahouse provides some cute gambling for series diehards.
Featuring a rather odd lineup, you've got Naruto and baby Kurama, Sasuke and a snake, Madara and a much angrier Kurama, Kakashi and one of his dogs, Orochimaru and one of his snakes, and perhaps the most strange member of the lot, none other than First Hokage himself under the reanimation jutsu.
Everything I've said in this post probably betrays my interest in the series, and similarly you're probably aware of whether or not you'll be interested in this set yourself. As usual you aren't guaranteed a full set in a box, but you can get a collection of six for ¥4,200 and try your luck this April.

MakieLab has developed a system of creating objects using game technologies – 3D Studio Max, Unity, 3D objects – and transmogrifying them into 3D-printable toys complete with internal working joints.I went through the process of designing a doll.
Which means = we can model toys then manufacture toys, overnight.
There are some limitations to this emerging tech, like the plastic is only available in porcelain white (although we can dye it), and it costs more to print objects in 3D than running off vinyl in the billions in China. BUT! The upsides are amazing: completely customisable toys. Toys that can be modified overnight. Toys made in Britain (ours are currently printed in London). Toys where you, the user, get to fiddle about and make something that suits you.
Takara Tomy have updated their official Kre-O site with the latest comic. Episode 9 is here that translates to "The Defeat in battle treasure! Block power!" The comic features all those zany Decepticons that bring their own brand of mayhem. This one features Autobot Smokescreen and what appears to be the Bludgeon character who battle over the giant Kre-O treasure chest.
