DRINK Final Fantasy XIII Elixir Version 1 - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» NCS could blow smoke up your chimney and describe the previous Final Fantasy potions and elixirs from Suntory as quaffable or enjoyable. But we'd be lying. They're barely sippable and the word "enjoy" isn't normally paired with the Final Fantasy potions. Like other Square schwag, the potables are designed to be stored in personal Final Fantasy shrines where proud owners can look upon them with fondness and a little bit of love.

Suntory and Square are teaming up again to produce another brew which dovetails with the release of Final Fantasy XIII and two versions of the elixir are scheduled to ship in December. The FFXIII Elixir Version 1 features a lemony flavored drink and a total of 8 character cans will be released at JPY191 each. Similar to the FFVII portions, royal jelly and caffeine are two ingredients which will give drinker a boost of energy. Vitamin B1 (thiamin) and B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) are also mentioned as ingredients and each can holds 350ml of liquid. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2009 at US$7.60 per can. Blame the ¥ and shipping charges.

TOYS One Piece P.O.P Excellent Model Mini Figure - NEW Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Megahouse started the One Piece Portrait of Pirates toy series in the Spring of 2004 and quickly gained a loyal fan following thanks to the high production quality of the figures. The core members of the Straw Hat Pirates are sculpted once again in a new trio of Portrait of Pirates (Straw Theater) figures which feature big heads and disproportionate bodies. The characters are (from the left and going right):

» Roronoah Zoro - Crosses his arms and glares outwards
» Monkey D. Luffy - Wears a straw hat and a wide smile
» Nami - Just Nami; Cute ginger with big eyes and friendly grin

Each fixed-pose figure in the Straw Theater set measures 10cm or 3.93" tall and is constructed of PVC. Although the toys are immobile, their heads may be swiveled around to and fro.
