Little Bony
Little Bony appears in the Japanese kid-oriented show about bodies and movement entitled Karada de Asobo.
Initially, since the show was targeted for kids, the product licensing was severely curtailed. The only product that was released was a limited-run Little Bony vinyl figure for US collectors. That was then…now…they got plush dolls! A Little Bony book was also released.
Alongside merchandising, Sony teamed Little Bony up with four members of AKB48 [Akihabara48], a teeny-bopper girl band army with, I guess, 48 members, to sing “Hone Hone Waltz,” (pronounce: “ho-neh”, means ‘bone’) which is a saccharine ode to our glorious skeletons.
