Here are today's "really cool products" that I've picked out for you, out of the 30+ new items we've added to the J-List and JBOX.com sites today. Note that some products may be "not safe for work" but that all links will allow you to redirect yourself either to the J-List or JBOX.com websites. To see all the J-List products, check out J-List or the JBOX.com updated products link.

	Kuttari Mamegoma -- Brown Stripe A cute and super-soft plush seal from San-X, Mamegoma's name literally means "bean + sesame seed" because that's what he's shaped like. A super item very good for hugging.
	Pink Hello Kitty Mini Stamp Set Then, rubber stamps are much loved by the Japanese, who use them to decorate notebooks or letters. Here are some really cute wood and rubber Hello Kitty stamp sets.
	Rogue 1/8 Figure by Shunya Yamashita Then, master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita tries his hand at the Marvel universe, giving us Rogue from the X-Men, which we're happy to announce is in stock and shipping now. As is often the case, most of our stock sold to preorder customers, so order yours soon.
	Miku Hatsune Project DIVA Perhaps it's the cute allure of digital idol Miku Hatsune, or maybe it's the softness of her sweet voice. Or it could be the "accidental" up-skirt shots the player gets, giving a view of the Vocaloid character's signature shimapan. But this game is hot, both in Japan and at J-List. And we've got it back in stock today!
	Seven Samurai Figures -- Full Set of 9 We've been pulling some amazing items out of our warehouse in San Diego for you, which are rare and impossible to find anymore. Enjoy these full sets of Seven Samurai figures including a cool figure of Akira Kurosawa w/ camera.
