Explosively cute: Bomberman Bakuhatu Plushies |
Ó
If you're a gamer with a girlfriend (and if she's a gamer, too, lucky you), most times you can never go wrong giving the gift of a warm and fuzzy plush to her. That, or budget-depleting jewelry. As a for-example, you've got rabbid plushies, you've got chocobo plushies. But if your GF happens to be the bomb (or bomb diggity), perhaps the best (or most appropriate) plush to give her is the bomb. Not even Bomberman himself (which, in his old-school iteration, would make a fine sock doll himself), but his bombs.
Spotted by GameBrink, Banpresto is making these Bomberman-themed Bomberman Bakuhatu Plushies available via pre-order in Japan, to be shipped in mid-to-late June 2007. Yes, we know, a full six months wait, as though there's a plutonium core to be installed in this thing... Nah, no nukes, just a sound-chip that lovingly recreates the trademark "BOOMB!" and "POM!" sound effects of the Bomberman games. They come in black and red, about the size of a small ball, and cost US$ 19.00 (yes, we know, Japan preorder, American pricing; perhaps an indicator that they'll also make this preorder available in the US someday...).
If you're wondering, "Bakuhatu" means "Explode". Hopefully the explosion you hear from your girlfriend is one of adoration for receiving something oddly cute, instead of an explosion of anger for not getting her a diamond necklace or something like that (And, we can imagine, if you're taking this with you in a flight, you might want to tell security that this is a toy, just to be sure).

these are soo lame
agreed
Plushies?? Is this news-worthy? Come on...
I have the 4rth post, + this has nothing to do with PSP.
WTF does this have to do with PSP?
There is a Bomberman game for the PSP...Or are you too caught up in homebrew you forgot the PSP plays game?
Wow, not only do I deem this pointless, but you put a lot of crap in parenthesis.
... I want a bomberman plush. Importable to US?
Wow this is some *coughgay*..., what scuse me there. So how long you think it is before some idiot out there mistakes it for the real thing (I really hope not or else he is an idiot) and some inocent kid gets shot. *sniff sniff* I think I smell the headlines already lol. Man I think that guy would have to receive an award for being such an idiot. We all know there are plenty of them out there =P.
correction: BAKUHATSU = explosion in japanese
This will probably be pretty rare, just as the "candy version" was awhile back (now selling for $20).
