Screw Kewpie

Hardware company Sanwa Screw have once again produced a limited number of "costume kewpies" featuring the mayonnaise mascot dressed in screws, bolts and washers. Last time Sanwa sold these novelty items, they became an expected hit when TV Tokyo featured them in a programme and the company couldn't keep up with demand. For this new batch, they will open their store in Kamiyacho from mid-day on Sunday to avoid disrupting their business during normal hours. Customers will be limited to buying two items per person and they won't be taking orders on the net or over the phone.

FG memberden4 wrote to me a couple of days ago:
[INDENT] …Tokyu Hands had a whole slew of screwy looking Kewpie mutants, from the body builder Kewpie to the zombie Kewpie.[/INDENT]

Hot damn, I found an army of Kewpie Mutants, which to directly quote the Tokyo Hands website are:
[SIZE="3"]"The collaboration of the dream of prettiness the Rose O’Neill’s original Kewpie and extreme popularity characters without reason."[/SIZE]

The reason that the Kewpies are invading is the upcoming centenary of the original 1909 character of Kewpie by Rose O’Neill. Tokyu Hands is selling mutants like the Astro Boy kewpie, Ninja Hattori kewpie, Kitaro kewpie, and even a skeletal SHOCKER kewpie a la Kaman Rider.

Two new colours will be released for sale shortly. The shopowner has hinted that this may be the last batch.
