Words fail me. Japanese toy manufacturer Romando, long renowned for their vinyl models of giant robot characters like Red Baron and Dangard Ace, has branched out into new territory: "gashapon" capsule toys of women's asses. I don't know if this is a new high or a new low, but it's definitely the weirdest product to come out since the infamous hump-pillow shaped like an pair of kneeling female legs sold on the street in Akihabara earlier this year.
Dubbed "Hip Parade," baby got back in 12 variations, a case of which can yours for the low, low price of 6,000 yen ($55). As sculptor Love & Craft's website puts it, "you can't remove the clothes, but we paid plenty of attention to the physical details." You can almost hear the high-pitched breathing of a thousand-shut ins as they furiously punch in one-handed orders into their keyboards.
That's profoundly disturbing.
I'm guessing the 'chase' figure will be a fully outlined 'camel toe' for the fanboys to lust over....
And of course Series Two (or a fresh series with s2 being more panties) will be armless, headless torsos with matching bras/halters/etc. A line of Bust busts, if you will.
See, but here's the thing. What they *should* have done is 'famous anime panties' and then gone thru all the different shows and movies and...
BLARG! Why am I giving them ideas?!
