Update: July 13, 2007
We have a small quantity of black Bomberman Bakuhatsu plushes which have the words, "SAMPLE" stitched above the Bomberman label on the front of the bomb. Other than the "SAMPLE" mark, everything else about the plush is identical to the standard black Bomberman Bakuhatsu plush. Pricing remains at US$20 for the "SAMPLE" marked plushes. Update: July 6, 2007
«©NCSX» The Japanese word "Bakuhatsu" means "Explode" and that's what Bomberman's bombs do. To capitalize on the decades old Bomberman craze, Banpresto unleashes a plush bomb which sports a lit fuse on top and a sound emitting mechanism inside. When the sound device is smacked and triggered by pounding on the Bomberman plush, two sounds roar forth from the innards of the toy which are meant to recreate explosive video game aurals from yesteryear. In the original manufacturer product solicitation from late 2006, the flyer mentions that each plush makes two sounds: "BOOMB!" and "POM!" which are lovingly sampled from the Bomberman games. We listened to the sound effects and the first one sounds like the effect when Bomberman drops a bomb in the confines of a maze. The second effect sounds like a burning fuse which leads to a rocking explosion. Each bomb plush measures approximately 8" or 20cm in diameter and is squeezably soft. This is one bomb that won't land with a thud when thrown. The fuse on top of the bomb measures 3" or 7.62cm in height. Two color variants are on offer and all preorders have shipped as of yesterday. New orders are welcome to ship today. View larger photos for this item on the main NCSX website. Video Demonstration
We'll upload two videos of the Bomberman Bakuhatsu plushes to Youtube later today which shows the sensitivity of the sound module and the two sound effects that issue forth from it. The videos will be linked directly below.
