Bubble Bobble, The Legend of Kage, and Front Line shirts from The King of Games’s DotLike series. These Taito-licensed shirts will be released in Japan November 6, for ¥5,145 ($64) each…

If there’s ever been a t-shirt I’d consider paying $64 on, it’s that Legend of Kage design. Check out that dope situation! Kage all reading his scroll, ninjas all dropping out of the sky against a giant moon.

MapleStory DSi bundle, Girls Generation commercials, and piracy in Korea

While we’re enjoying the Nintendo DSi XL and speculation about the Nintendo 3DS in the States, South Korea won’t receive the standard Nintendo DSi until April 15th, when it releases there in White, Black, Blue, and Pink.

To make sure the system’s launch is a hit, Nintendo and Nexon are releasing a DS adaptation of super-popular Korean MMO MapleStory at the same time. Check out the rad limited edition red DSi bundle above!

Now, as my friend Nick Rumas pointed out, piracy, especially for the Nintendo DS, is ubiquitous in the country, so much so that I don’t believe Nexon would have spent money developing MapleStory DS if it wasn’t a joint venture with Nintendo of Korea.

Super creepy: this Silent Hill Robbie the Rabbit plush doll made by Etsy user obesolete.

Super cute: her Mettaur/Metool/Met/Hard Hat/whatever plush!

Super super super cute: her Bubble Buster/Benzo plush!

If you like Bubble Bobble, you should check the shop for plush Bubblun and Bobbluns that are reminiscent, but not quite identical, to the plush Bubblun Eric posted on GSW.

Custom Bubble Bobble figurine by Okkle. It took very little to turn this vinyl figurine into a perfect representation of Bubblun regurgitating/enbubbulating a Beluga. This particular item has been sold (for a painful £85) but the source figure is still available — and, as always, just appreciating it on the internet is free.

I’m glad I have managed to avoid getting into designer toys so far. Whenever I see them online, I have dreamy visions of colorful shelves loaded with cute, artsy creations. I know if I bought one, it would be easier for me to just keep buying and building a collection — and these things are ridiculously expensive.
