PLEASE READ: The NEW SHOP is separate and distinct from the OLD SHOP. If you place an order on the OLD SHOP, you will not be able to use the NEW SHOP to check on your order and vice versa. Unfortunately, we were not able to resolve the two shop databases in order to transfer customer histories and accounts. Both shops are fully operational and capable of taking orders.

Gashapon Treats

  NEWS Epoch Gashapon Preview - Shipping February 2004

   When cranking the knob of a toy dispenser inside a USA supermarket or strip mall, one may get a Britney sticker, rub-on tattoos, a pasty colored gumball or a cheap trinket with no redeeming value...except in the eyes of a tyke who knows no better. Sorta like present day Cracker Jack toys which probably cost .02 to manufacture. 
   Over in Japan, a lot more creativity and effort is put into the toy dispenser industry where popular characters, interesting objects d'art and weird but imaginative products are churned out to the tune of a few hundred million yen every year. Epoch recently announced a new crop of capsule toys which ship in early 2004. We've culled some of the more interesting ones for inspection. We don't expect to import any for sale in the USA since the minimum order quantity is more than we project we'd be able to move.
 
 

Breakaway Pad

  NEWS Hori Separate Controller - Shipping November 27, 2003

   Hori announced a new PS2 Dual Shock Controller which breaks apart and may be used with all games. The gist would be this: Instead of straining your hands by cupping them together to hold the controller when playing a frenetic game, the two parts of the controller separate so that your left hand may rest on the side while moving your character and your right hand rests on your lap to push buttons. Each side of the controller is wired separately for play. Two colors are planned - a transparent blue pad and a transparent black version. Preorders ship on November 27 at Y3200 or US$33 from NCS.
