Star Wars R2 Shampoo Pump Dispenser - Preorder

The world doesn't need another plain lotion dispenser but it could use a Star Wars R2 Droid Shampoo Pump Dispenser which takes a detour from conventional designs. The dispenser may be filled with shampoo, creamy lotion, liquid soap, or greasy lubricants of some sort. The possibilities are endless and one can even use it as a watering can for small plants and cacti... which don't need a lot of water.
Four R2 droids are featured as follows: R2-Q5 (black), R4-P17 (red/white), R2-A6 (green/white), and R2-R9 (red/silver) and preorders are welcome to ship on or around February 29, 2008.

Piyo Chan Mini Mini Mascot Plushies - Preorder

The maturation process invariably changes a cute little chick into a cantankerous old cockerel. It's the same way everywhere in the animal kingdom where a kitten matures into a mangy old cat and a pup grows up into a slobbering dog who chases its own tail and howls at the moon.

Perhaps it's a curse that they can't stay forever young but there is a way... plush toys. Japanese manufacturer Eikoh buys a license for the Piyo Chan chick character and crafts it into plush that'll stay young into perpetuity. Three styles are on offer - a 5.5cm chick, a 4.0cm chick, and a 4.0cm female chick that wears a pink bow rakishly on its pate. Preorders for the complete set of three are welcome for delivery in February 2008.

Zoom In Super Saturday Narikiri Cap - Preorder

Taito has started preorders for plush bird caps based on three Zoom in Super Saturday characters named Zumin (blue), Charmin (pink), and Satabo (green). The height of each cap measures 45 cm or 17.71" which is suitable for most average-size human heads. The bottom of the cap may be strapped beneath one's chin to keep it secure. If you're a dog owner who enjoys humiliating your pooch with dress-up shenanigans, this cap will make him the laughing stock of the hood. The Narikiri Caps won't be released in time for this year's Halloween but there's always next year. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late March 2008 at US$39 per cap.
