Chocobo is one of the most popular mascots in the game world and everyone should have known him by name and by sight. Wonderful as mounts during battles or world traveling, who would have thought that the baby chocobo would be this cute and this tiny?
Hina Chocobo or Choco-chick is a barely hatched. Sitting at around 12 or 17 cm, the little bird could sit and chirp happily on a child’s hand during a festive occasion.
Hold him and let him work his healing magic on you, or let him join in the fun during the festivals.

I love LEGO!!!
These were some of the LEGO displays in Toys R Us Hongkong at Ocean Terminal. The Star Wars Clone Trooper set-up is my favorite. They didn’t have a Batman display since all the sets were sold-out.
Maybe I should start opening my LEGO sets and start building my own displays. *sigh* I just need more display space at home. Hehehe.

Super Mario is not the only one turned into a bee, the mushrooms are, as well. Shedding their usual colors, the mushroom decides to form a pair with the bouncy pipe cleaner. Shaped like a ball and covered in golden and brown stripes, the mushroom looks perfectly delicious, even Winnie the Pooh will agree with this.

Anything looks cute after being minimized. Fearsome creatures when they appeared on the TV or Wii screens, these dragons are now shrunk to the point that you can handle them between your thumb and index finger. Coming in different colors and viciousness, these little monsters adds to your combat spirit when placed near you.
For those who have Dragon Quest heroes trading figures, you can bring the battles from the screen to the real world by placing dragon and hero together, otherwise these trading figures are still wonderful ornaments.

The mad scientist doesn’t like it when people call him teddy, just look at his angry (blood thirsty) face. Hardly likely to strike fear into people, especially now that he is super deformed, but be careful that he might burst into the "You are dinner, my dinner!" crazy mode.
Dr. Leonardo from Himitsu Kessha - Taka no Tsume, the Macromedia Flash created anime series is here to wreak some havoc, offer him a place on your shelf as a lab and take him home.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the premiere of "Star Wars" in Japan, Fine Molds has released this fully assembled and stunningly painted and weathered version of their outstanding 1/72 Millennium Falcon kit (it’s the straight kit, with no lighting or extra detail parts added…there is some nicely done battle damage, though)! Limited to just 500 units, this fantastically finished model is mounted on a beautiful wooden base with nameplate and serial number, and covered with a removable crystal-clear acrylic case. The craftsmen at Fine Molds love "Star Wars" and love the Falcon, and it certainly shows in the high quality of this beautifully finished model!
