I got my latest order from Robert's Anime Corner Store today, and they tossed in a handful of official "Robert's Anime Corner Store" chocolate dollars. It's good chocolate, too.

Oh, and it was shipped the day after I ordered, as always. Even though it's Christmas season and presumably they're very busy. (I hope they're busy; I've heard that this year's Christmas shopping season has been a disappointment for some places!)

UPDATE: I wonder if this is something like coffee mugs and T-shirts where there are businesses in the business of making custom ones with your very own logo or graphic on them?

Seems like it must be. How long before Cafepress starts offering them?

UPDATE: So what did I buy? For the last year, the mascot on my computer table has been Katsuragi from Senran Kagura, and I decided it was time for a change. More below the fold.

So this looked interesting:

It actually turned out to be rather more ecchi than I expected. Usually figurines come in boxes which proudly allow you to see the figurine inside, sometimes from all four sides. This one came in the figurine-equivalent of a plain brown bag: the box didn't have any windows, and it didn't have any pictures, either. All it had was the logo of the company, and the name of the girl, in relatively small print, on the bottom. ("Kondo Yume", in case you're interested. She's an original; not part of any game or anime. More's the pity.)

It's the most... explicit... figurine I've ever bought. I didn't think Japanese law allowed them to do that. (Blush)

But now that I've spent the money, by damn I'll keep it.
