Remember the uproar about Tokyopop changing the title of their Ikkitousen manga to 'Battle Vixens'? I just came across something odd: a 'Battle Vixens' pencil board, produced by Movic, which is to my knowledge, a Japanese company.

Take a look at this link: http://animeten.com/tengoods/shitajiki/battlevixens.html and note the 'Battle Vixens' name vertically on the right side of the left image. It's also underneath the illustration on the right image.

Is Movic moving into the English market? (with pencil boards? rrrright), did they think TP's title sounded cool? (we've seen worse, so... maybe) OR was Battle Vixens the un-offical English title of the series to begin with and did we slap TP for choosing it instead of thinking it up? I'm confused, any ideas on this oddity?
