What's that you say? (In my imagination, anyway) Weird pet costumes are nothing new? You might be correct, but these are no mere costumes. These sushi cats - Neko Zushi - have a comic-book style...
What do cartoon boobies smell like? I'm not sure anybody really knows, but we're all about to find out if we really want to. These phone straps based on the Senran Kagura video games boast a "fa...
Japanese pro-wrestling frequently blurs the line between comic-book superheroes and grapplers, with many of its greatest superstars wearing Power Ranger-like costumes. Now the line is blurred e...
I love diorama pieces to display my figures with - it's one of the biggest bummers of modern toy collecting that NECA and McFrarlane figures don't tend to come with bases any more. But never, N...
You might look at the above and think it's just a cute novelty shape for a remote control car. You would be wrong, and reckoning without the way a Japanese inventor thinks. First of all, it hel...
I'm not a huge fan of empty carbs. It isn't a fitness prejudice; rather, it's a dislike of any food that traditionally relies on butter - which I find gross - to make it palatable. So there have b...
Custom action figures of yourself are so yesterday. Because unless you're a dog, you can't eat toys. The real revolution in 3D laser-scans lies in candy replicas of yourself. Also, the idea is t...
Gotta love the Japanese marketing people. They come up with a product that there's no way most American stores would carry, and they give it a name that's an English pun: the Ju-C Air (which adm...
We all know Black Dynamite as a Michael Jai White cartoon. But now he's been reconceived as a Japanese-speaking, life-size Mego doll who fights Rowdy Roddy Piper. It doesn't make much sense - an...
Snaggletooth isn't just a rare blue Kenner action figure any more. It's now the hot trend in Japan, where the dentist who pioneered the procedure has founded a girl band, TYB48, to promote the lo...
Get some tail for a $95 donation? Sorry, no..an actual tail. I can't imagine how a robot tail that wags like a dog's (but is worn by a human) failed to find funding on Kickstarter. Thankfully f...
Admit it: the first thing you thought when you looked at that picture was that it had to be Japanese, right? If I told you that what you were looking at was a set of vibrators, you'd probably b...
So a Japanese arcade has a Whack-a-Mole game where the moles have been replaced by dicks. Join me after the jump, won't you? ...
The Japanese sell -- and then some of them buy, presumably -- a dildo called the "Anus Dagger." So... yeah. Use this fun fact to break the ice at parties! Or buy it here, and then go stab people i...
ANN isn't particularly clear about this, but I believe that above is one part of a whole Evangelion-themed ad campaign for the Japanese Racing Association. It involves these commercials (narrated...
From Kotaku: The latest business to make a splash in Japan's nerdom is always patrons to sleep with ladies. That's it, apparently. Just sleep. Um. Located in Akihabara, it's called Soine-ya; "soin...
Each Wednesday, Rob brings you the latest and greatest Super Terrific Japanese Things. Most of these involve delightful perversities that make you release an audible "BAH!" while you race to clear...
This STJT is actually a year and a half old, but is so creepy I had to show it to you guys anyways. Have you ever wished you could call somebody on a tiny albino tadpole person with soulless, dead...
If you can't tell by the article title, this is one of those items that is technically safe for work but in all honesty is totally not safe for work because it would be far easier to explain away...
I honestly have no words. I am boggled at the simultaneous ridiculousness and awesomeness of this thing. It lights up, comes out in November at the same time as the third Evangelion movie, and wil...
