Are you watching One Piece or perhaps enjoy the show from time to time? If you are, or maybe if you like to collect the occasional Sailing Boat you should look into Bandai’s Chogokin Going Merry.

This boat has a lot of things to play with, from attaching wings to adding battle damage, you can even open the boat up and see the inside cabins; It is practically a One Piece doll house! Plus it ships with two lifeboats, one with Luffy and another with the crew. I feel it’s not just the ship but all of the accessories that make this model shine. I admit that I am not really a fan of One Piece, but this is such a complete collectors item that it really caught my eye, I would welcome it into my own collection.

The Going Merry’s price may be a little steep at ¥12,800 however it has an amazing number of options and extras that any one piece fan would be thrilled with. The Going Merry will be released this June. Be sure to take a look at the gallery to see everything this model offers!

Reading books is great and all, but these 14 geeky bookends reinforce the truth that books are only good for displaying in your home, and that reading them is pointless.  Why?  Because I’m cheap and just bought a bunch of books with no print in them to create the illusion of me being extremely erudite.  See how I used my incredible vernacular there?  It’s called internet access, and Thesaurus dot com for the win.  For the conquest.  For the triumph.  Okay, so ...

Tis March the 3rd which means that its not only a festive day in Japan called Hina Matsuri, but its also the birthday of our Mirai Suenaga! Folks out there who know Mirai well will know how old she is this year - I guess the number of candles give it away ^^;

Mirai Suenaga started off as being the mascot character for this site dannychoo.com and moved on to work with many companies in the industry like Good Smile Company, Bushiroad, Nitroplus, Kadokawa, King Records, Yuzusoft and recently JC Staff where she finally gets animated in the OP for Mirai Millennium ^o^

Look forward to seeing a load more from Mirai in 2012!

Every year on her birthday, Mirai gets changed into ger B'day suit ^o^

I hate Greatest Hits / Platinum Collection banners on my game art, but the Fei-Yen art makes up for it. Plus, the price is too good to refuse.

Rolling Into Spring With This Marvelous Vintage Steiff Rabbit On Wheels

Is anyone else out there about ready to roll into spring and all the delights that come with it?  Steiffgal certainly is, especially after this week's surprise early March snow and ice storm around these parts!  Check out this inquiry from a reader that should help us all of us put a hop-skip-and-a-jump into our seasonal steps!  Brenda writes...

 

"Dear Steiffgal,

 

Perhaps you can help me learn a bit about this toy.  Have you ever seen one before?  Is it rare?  What may it be worth?  When was it made?  

 

 My husband's father got it as a child, in about 1920.  

 

The rabbit is about 12 inches long and 4 inches high and is mounted on four wooden wheels.  It's body appears to be made out of light brown felt.  It has an ear button on the underside of its long floppy ears.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.  

 

Best, Brenda"

 

Wow, that's one blue ribbon bunny Brenda's got there! This fantastic treasure is an early Steiff felt rabbit on wooden wheels.  The rabbit is standing on all fours and unjointed. Her face was originally detailed with simple black button eyes, a hand embroidered nose and mouth, and clear monofilament whiskers. Her head and body were highlighted a bit of light painting. When she left the factory, she had a red silk bow (the one on her now is probably not original) and a bell around her neck. Her pull cord was most likely a long stretch of red and white twine. This particular pattern was made in light brown in 12, 14, 17, and 22 cm from 1912 through 1936 and grey in 12, 14, and 22 cm from 1916 through 1918.  

 

This beloved and classic pattern was also available without wheels as early as 1892, the first year of the Steiff catalog!

Continuing on this joy ride, this toy is on what Steiff calls "eccentric wheels."  This means that when the rabbit rolls along, it shimmies back and forth, having the appearance  of a somewhat "natural" gate or movement.  This is accomplished by attaching the wheels slightly off center to the supporting axle. You can see that here on the picture on the left.  Although this early innovation was discovered by accident at the turn of last century, it has become a delightful Steiff  detail that is still used on some items today. 

Now to the question that sends Steiffgal down the rabbit hole... her value.  As always, Steiffgal is not a formal appraiser and believes that something is worth what someone will pay.  This is a classic and delightful item. Early rabbits are right up there with collectors as favorite finds and treasures.  You don't see too many of these around today as they are made of felt, which seems to be a moth magnet.  Moths really can destroy  felt collectibles in what seems like a heartbeat, so give your felt treasures extra special care and protection from the elements.  Steiffgal has not actually ever seen one of these rolling rabbits  in person, which is sort of unusual - and speaks to its rarity.  That all being said, given she is in very good condition (i.e., clean, with minimal if any holes, odors, or structural issues) today vintage Steiff rabbits on wheels from this period may  value in the $750 to 1200+ range if grey in color and $600 to 1000+ range if light brown in color.  

Steiffgal hopes that this discussion on Brenda's rabbit  has put you in the mood for the joyful upcoming Easter season.
