Naruto Invades America

found this on narutofan.com

In the July issue of Shonen Jump that should be hitting storeshelves all over North America soon they have included some more "information" on the Naruto anime series, promising to provide us with more every month until it's ultimate anime debut on Cartoon Network this Fall. The talk of Naruto in this particular issue is rather interesting, infact they give us a good reason to be excited that Naruto is coming to North America, all the Naruto merchandise you can possibly want. Currently they are just showing everyone the Naruto products that are available in Japan right now an asking us to write in to them telling them what we want. It looks like we'll have to wait a bit to actually do that though, since they haven't created the webpage they advertise in the magazine. I know what I want, do you?

It's a cosplayers dream I wonder if they will be cheaper or more expensive than at conventions. I wonder what store will take up the merchandise I hope it is store that is in my area.

[rejectedstalker.livejournal.com]

I didn't even read that when I saw it on NF.com - wtf? O_o;

[fireflyprincess.livejournal.com]

I need to get another headband in black and I want all the capsule toys. Those are some of the later models, I wonder if they will sell some of the first ones.

[rejectedstalker.livejournal.com]

Man, screw those little statue things, I want action figures, dammit! Gimme a Marvel Legends-style Rock Lee and I will be the happiest little fanboy in the world. :P

I want an Akamaru plushie that doesn't cost $50 before shipping.

And why, yes. Looking at Sasuke causes me to drink. How did they know?

!!!

Me want that Kankurou. O_O

[in-full-bloom.livejournal.com]

Ah! I want the jacket, headband, and gloves :D

[hikaruyuki.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they realize that the merchandise contains huge spoilers for later episodes/chapters. Forget Sasuke's Chidori, but the slashed out Konoha hitai-ate and Itachi are RIGHT THERE.

[lunarwhirl.livejournal.com]

[rootoftheoracle.livejournal.com]

[darkr-dragon.livejournal.com]

Wow. I didn't think they would bring over the vest since cosplay stuff isn't usually brought over.

[rootoftheoracle.livejournal.com]

it doesn't have to be cosplay. you can wear it as a fashion trend! =3

[mizuno-caitlin.livejournal.com]

Nightmare, you mean. Imagine the hellish state of conventions come this winter!!!

[lunarwhirl.livejournal.com]

Kakashi = teh smex. XP

[fireflyprincess.livejournal.com]

That is why we hope that the vest are too expensive for creepy jobless fanboys. Only the truly devoted will sell there limbs for some.

[turnip-girl.livejournal.com]

XD You win!

[turnip-girl.livejournal.com]

As long as this stuff ends up in England, everything is WONDERFUL. *is planning her spending already*

[raineyz.livejournal.com]

Are they colour blind? They'd better watch their words. Just because Gaara's reformed doesn't mean he will stand people insulting his hair. :o

[raineyz.livejournal.com]

OH NO THE YAOI FANGIRLS WILL BE IN ECSTASY IF THEY MAKE POSEABLE FIGURINES.

*dies*

[narutomonkey.livejournal.com]

PLUSHIES! PLUSHIES! Plushies GALORE, darn it! >___<

And a few action figures wouldn't hurt either!


Plus, when the games come out here, I'd be happy to buy them! :D
