About time for some Kyubey Face Condoms.

What would the box say? "I'll turn you into a magical girl from the inside! The price will be your days of peace, because my mouth isn't covered!"

I'm... almost tempted to get one of these...


...it would make a great cushion for sitting on!

I'd get one if it wasn't so creepy. Though I admit it would look hilarious with my Mokona plushie sitting on its head...

Sit on him?! It's too cool looking to sit on.

If it's nice and durable, one could have hours of fun throttling it and punching its smug face in.

This is really tempting to get, not sure where I'd put it though.

For $43, you probably could get a semi decent face cushion that might even be orthopedic or something better than standard cotton.

Also, this that cushion looks very strange if you ask me. I have a friend who likes this series who said he wouldn't buy it.

Chara-ani. The name sounds familiar.

*snap

This is the same company that sells figures with flexible panties owners can (re)move on girls posed because, as one quote put it, "they dropped their contact lens and are looking for it".

I wonder if Bandai would garner strong sales if the same approach were given to a Spike Speigel (Cowboy Bebop) figure in the same position having flexible boxers (or briefs).

I bet your brain just vomited, didn't it.

It did. It did indeed. And not just at the idea that someone would probably do that to poor Spike if it would sell. Also, FLEXIBLEFIGUREPANTIESLULWHUT? Ew.

On anothe note, just looking at that cushion creeps me out. It's not that it's bad (It's pretty well made)...It's just...Kyubey...

Come to think of it, They're just making these cushions by spoiler[continuously beheading Kyubey.] Anyone agree?

They're marketing this as a "pillow" but all I can think is that 99% of people who buy this will either use it as a punching bag or will use it for as incendiary feedstock for home-made films requiring things to be on fire.
