Coming in barely under the wire, Ningyoushi sent me an e-mail last night letting me know that they have new toys in for the holidays. And boy do they have a shit-load of them. I don't know if I will list them all, but here's the list of the seriously Limited Ed. stuff. First off, the most recent issue of Juxtapoz magazine is the Japanese Art Issue, and I guess in order to take advantage of this with all those young hipsters out there who are still collecting toys (apparently, that was so six months ago), Ningyoushi has brought out the big guns. One of the articles in Juxtapoz featured the toy designers Bounty Hunter, Gargamel and Secret Base, so Ningyoushi has several of their toys at exorbitant prices. From Bounty Hunter comes the Limited Ed. BxH Ahiru Kun (Duck). Next, Bounty Hunter and Secret Base team up for the Limited Ed. Skull Kun (Silver) and Skull Kun (Glow). Then there's the two Gargamel Limited Ed. Pinwheel Vinyl Figures in red and blue. And lastly, you got the Secret Base Limited Ed. Battle Ring Set (2nd Anniversary Edition). Each of these pieces is more expensive than the next, with the Secret Base Battle Ring Set going for a ridiculous $300. I'm still trying to sell off my extensive toy collection to make room for the next trend, pottery collecting! Anyway, Ningyoushi also has a bunch of new plush Domo-Kuns (the toy that got me into this whole mess, thanks Leia), a new Limited Ed. Storm Trooper vinyl figure, a Limited Ed. Frank Kozik x OBEY Camo Smokin' Joe vinyl figure, and even a Toys 'R' Us Star Wars Kubrick set. Can this trend get any more out of hand? Check out the rest of Ningyoushi's new arrivals here.
