We're back from Anime Vegas! Well, not "we" as in "me." I didn't go to Anime Vegas. I have better things to do than gamble my life away on parlor games. I'd much rather
gamble with Mother Nature at the beach. Dietrich and Ardith were there, though, and met up with some of you out there at the con. I didn't hear much about the con ("What happans there, stays there," they say),
but I heard it was "better than they thought."
The theme this week is "Token Cuteness." This email features Tachikoma (Ghost in the Shell) trading figures and Bleach Banpresto items for preorder! Fruits Basket cell phone straps are our new arrivals!
Lastly, all fleece caps are on sale!

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex "Tachikoma" Trading Figures
Available early December! It's the ultimate marketing ploy: Add a cute looking character to a series as comic relief so that you widen the general appeal. That's what they did when the
Tachikoma was introduced to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Based on the Fuchikoma from the original Ghost in the Shell manga, these little buggers make me think that robot spider-things are our friends, unlike the horrible reality that one day the robots
will take over and enslave all of humanity. The Tachikoma trading figures come in a rainbow of colors (shown). Items must be bought by the box, and each box contains a random assortment of 12. The preorder deadline is September 11.
Always preorder to guarantee quantities!
GiTS: SAC - Tachikoma Trading Figures
JAN Code: 4961524309184
SRP: $4.95 each, $59.40 per box
Description: Contains 12 randomly distributed figures per box. Items must be bought by the box. For box details click here.

Bleach Banpresto Goods
Available in January! Yes, I do know that this image looks pretty bad. It's the best I could do at the moment.
Just think of it as inspired by Sin City with its black, white and red color scheme. Anyway, it seems every show has one of those cute comic-relief characters. No one is safe! In Bleach's case it's Kon,
the mischievous plush lion with the super-powered legs. What could be more cute than Kon? Well, how about Kon cosplaying as other characters from the show? Yes, that nearly doubles the cuteness factor. Check out these
plushies of Kon dressed as Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Kisuke, and Hitsugaya!
We also have Bleach figure key chains featuring Ichigo, Renji, Kon, Hitsugaya, and Rukia in SD. I have no idea how Kon can be in SD, so I'm assuming he'll be the most normal looking of the bunch. That is, if a talking lion
plush with super-powered legs is normal.

Fruits Basket Cell Straps
The Chinese zodiac: One of mankind's earliest matchmaking services. It's how we learned that rats should avoid horses, but they can marry monkeys, oxen, and dragons. We can also thank the zodiac for being the inspiration for Fruits Basket, one of
America's top manga series. The funny thing is, despite being such a high seller on book charts, there's hardly anything else for your
customers to buy except for the manga. Now Fruits Basket fans can go mobile with these Fruits Basket cell straps, available now! Each of the straps contains two metal charms: Tohru and a rice ball, Kyo in human and cat form, and Yuki in human and rat form.
Each assortment contains one of each of the three straps.
Fruits Basket Cell Strap - Assortment
SRP: $7.95 each, 23.85 per set
SKU: BGCSFB01-3
Description: Each assortment contains one of each strap: Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki. Items must be bought as a set of one each.
