Legend of Zelda Historical Pins Collection

NCS Product Synopsis

Update: August 3, 2011
«©NCSX» The Zelda games by Shigeru Miyamoto have captivated children and adults alike for nearly three decades. That kind of staying power and devotion demands respect and merchandising. Takara Tomy pays homage to the Zelda franchise by announcing a collection of 16 pins who feature the game covers of every release in the Zelda library. Every one of them starting from the original Legend of Zeldafrom the Famicom (aka NES, stateside) to the recent remake of Ocarina of Timeon the Nintendo 3DS. It's a shame that Skyward Sword won't be included in the collection.

   The Zelda pins are normally sold randomly from gashapon dispensers in Japan which entails a lot of duplicate pins and knob spinning. However, to ease the burden of collecting all 16 pins in the collection, NCS is gathering them all up and selling them in a complete 16-pin pack. Pricing is set at US$68.90 from NCS. Reservations are welcome to ship in November 2011.

Doperi Petapeta Aru Unchi

   I've mentioned that the company I work for gets a lot of sales listings and product offers every day. It's a little daunting to watch what comes in from around the world every morning in terms of preorders, toys, movies, and software.

   Undoubtedly however, the most interesting and weirdest shit (excuse me) comes from Japan. In the case of the "Doperi Petapeta Aru Unchi," toy, it's literally shit in an assortment of colors. I hear that if you eat a lot of carrots, your poop will look like the crap on the upper left corner of the photo. If you consume a lot of peas as in pea soup, you'll eject the mass that located below the carrot poop. I have no idea what kind of food creates the greasy and shiny black mess that's located on the bottom row, second from the left but it can't be healthy. Maybe fast food that's been double-fried and then reheated and then deep-fried again.

   Yes folk, these toys are on sale in Japan. What's the price you ask? Each piece of crap may be had for a measly JPY100 which is about $1.50. Come and get it.
