	Shana Figure Cat Girl ver. ~ Shakugan no Shana. For fans of Shakugan no Shana, or Shana of the Blazing Eyes, we've gotten in another awesome pre-painted figure: Shana as a "cat girl," lying on a luxurious cloth with her hair flowing all around her. Designed by the Haruhi Suzumiya designer.
	Ai Enma Figure from Hell Girl. This is from Hell Girl (Jigoku Shojo), kind of a Reverse Fantasy Island where you can send anyone you hate to hell by accessing a website at exactly 12:00. "We will take revenge on your behalf." This preorder figure has come in and is now in stock.
	Kino 1/8 Figure ~ Kino's Journey the Beautiful World. A fabulous figure based on a series of Light Novels from Japan, this is a really awesome figure that had been posted for preorder but has come in now. Check out the way the plastic "smoke" from her gun winds around her.
	Kamikaze Combat Machine Miniature Series. Hmm, speaking of "WTF" (see above) we've got a fascinating line of toys detailing the various "Special Attack" (kamikaze) weapons they used during World War II, which in many cases were built for the final defense of the Japanese islands against an attack that never happened. A fascinating set of toys and it's really amazing to be a company founded by an American in Japan selling a made-in-Japan toy line of kamikaze toys.
	Tamaki Mukousaka 1/7 Cast-Off0?Figure. The gorgeous Tamaki Mukousaka ToHeart 2 figure has come in, too, and it's great one, with super detailing, especially that flowing, long hair. Her uniform can be cast off, too.
	New Strawberry Shortcake Pocky, Other Snacks. Today we're posting the "uber-Pocky," Strawberry Shortcake flavor, which is essentially a cake decorated on a Pocky stick -- yum! Also, see a cool set of five candy treats from Meiji that have been loved by the Japanese for years.
	Mag-nup Board ~ Stylish Magnet Board. We've gotten in two new colors of the Mag-nup Board, a really cool concept in messaging since it features all the benefits of a cork message board, but it works with magnets, too. Never forget anything with this cool item from Japan. Great for fans of "Safety & Simple Design."
	Domokun Mimobot USB 2.0 Flash Drive. J-List carries more Domo-kun products than you can shake a stick at, from T-shirts to hoodies to cool plush toys. We've restocked our USB 2.0 USB Flash Drives, which give you 1, 2 or 4 GB of storage in a cute, Domo shaped package. A dynamite item!
	J-List T-Shirt Free Shipping Sale. Just a reminder that we're having the first-ever Free Shipping Sale on our close-out T-shirts. Not only is it the last chance you have to get some of our popular shirt designs, from the cute Mona Neko from the Japanese BBS 2ch to our cool Yokozuna T-shirt and more, but you get free shipping (or half price shipping for international customers). We've updated all sizes and have added some more shirts to the sale. But hurry, as sizes are limited.
	Animal ONIGIRI Bento Box ~ Frog. Japan's famous culture of bento, or attractive looking boxed lunches, is really catching on all over the world. Here's a fantastic new bento box that's designed to hold onigiri (triangle shaped rice balls) in the top section and the rest of your lunch in the bottom. Part of the Nikyoro series.
	Hello Kitty Band-aid & Case -- 7pcs. Life is too short to carry boring generic band-aids. If you have a cut, it's much better to treat it with cute Hello Kitty bandages from Sanrio! Here's a refillable plastic carrying case and seven band-aids for fans of "Kitty-chan" (as she's called in Japan).
	Kimono Hime 7 ~ Sunny Days. Then enjoy a special new issue of Kimono Hime (Kimono Princess), with gorgeous pictures of traditional kimono culture from Japan. Features a special focus on kimonos for Coming of Age Day, weddings and the Shichigosan ("7, 5, 3") ceremonies for kids.
	Various Traditional Items from Japan. Today's restocked traditional products include the White Feng Shui Lucky Cat Coin Bank, a cool Compact Mirror with chirimen (kimono fabric) on the back, and for those who can't decide between a Lucky Cat or a Daruma, a combination that includes both. Cool!
