OMG, JUST LOOK AT MARISA!!! Omochikaeri~~ .. supposing the person huggling marisa (nooot fair! let me hug her tooo ><) is not a child, Gift online shop’s new touhou nuigurumi (plush) series EX, which includes Marisa and Reimu, are huge and sooo adorable!!! Forget the trouble of getting a spouse to manifest a loli, you can just buy these!! They probably don’t talk much, but that’s besides the point. Either way, these are definitely a must-have, if possible, for touhou fans as well as fans of cuteness! Never mind the inferior nendroid plus series hatsune miku and hatchune miku plushies released earlier in August by Gift online with a 2nd production line out this month, these plushies are so much better!! I mean, these giant plushies (70 cm while sitting down) potentially sends all the once-trendy otakus going around town with their dakimakura girlfriends out of fashion!!
Come Friday November 13, 2009 21:00 JPT and the touhou EX series will be available for pre-ordering on Gift online shop.. now I gotta figure out how to get my perv hands on them. The shipping fare must be huge.. >_<
*Update (10 Nov 2009, 5:06 pm GMT+8): Thanks to persocom for the comment regarding the price.
The item pages are up on gift online shop site and the price tags on these EX series plushies are a hefty 29,800 yen (that’s 459 SGD, or 331 USD) Personally, I’m willing to pay that much for these, a rl loli would cost more.. but the question is how to get these without using vpost (I ended up paying about 60 usd more on my akg k 701 earlier this year thanks to their wonderful service).. ..and if they fit into the regular size parcel boxes XD.

Haaauuu… *drools* The previous smaller series of reimu and marisa plushies as well as November’s new handpuppet series are already availabe at the online store.
Gift’s Kanegon san also announced a couple of other new touhou plushies lineups (not EX series though) to be released in the upcoming comiket77 (Dec 29~31), along with the new nendroid plus series 4 and 5, Kagamine Rin/Ren respectively….
Time to start bugging hobby search or your favorite sites to get them for pre-ordering. ^^

- Well, not much in terms of vocaloid news anyway:There have been news of Yamaha to be releasing 3 new vocaloids soon, as well as a new vocaloid to be released in December from saihate’s author, onyxP, named Miki (possible voice samples by furukawa miki and already has an MMD model in the making) for a christmas album to be released next week November 18, 2009.

So Big >_> but kawai~~ >.<, i realy want Plushies Miku i wondeer i can get one
I need them on my bed X3
OMG Thats so big and Nice for Hugging
(nosebleeding) Gyaaaa i want to hug it >.<
I’m more interested with the person who is holding the plushies….. ( °A°)a”
aww those huge plushies are cute, and I like the Rin one too. I still need to get ahold of a Miku plush. I fear for the prices on these though :3
hehe, your concerns are well-founded. At 330 usd each (w/o shipping) they’re definitely going to cost some fans an arm and a leg..
in contrast, the smaller nendroid plush (meaning they have some rigid joints to make them stay in certain poses) miku/rin series costs around 40 usd without shipping.
