Super Mario
Just how a slightly portly, mustachioed Italian plumber became a worldwide icon we're not quite sure but here he is, accompanied by his slightly psychedelic entourage of mushrooms, giant bullets and aggressive turtles. |

New Super Mario Bros. Sound Block
If we had to count the amount of times we could have done with an iconic Super Mario Bros sound effect as the perfect end note to a witty one-liner we'd probably stop having so many Nintendo fanboy dinner parties but if you're having the same sort of dilemma we've now got the answer!
Each 'sound block' stands about 75mm high with its Mario or Luigi figure and, when pressed, makes one of four random, instantly recognisable Mario game sounds. Each of the three different versions have three sounds in common - picking up a coin, jumping and an item appearing along with a special sound just for them thus ensuring you'll want to have them all!
If that wasn't enough they also come with some, oh-so delicious, Japanese sweets. It's-a-magnifico!

Final Fantasy III - Trading Arts Mini
Tieing in ever so neatly with the Nintendo DS, 3D-ised version of the venerable NES RPG classic this set of cool minifigs capture Akihiko Yoshida's redesign of the old 2D sprites excellently.
Each figure represents one of the different classes of character (or 'Job') you can choose to be in the game. They stand around 2.5 " (6cm) high and come with his, or her, own little stand. |

Ragnarok Trading Figure Collection
We were really blown away by the fantastic attention to detail and super-cute look of these figures from the Korean MMO. As the box will tell you they're 'compatible parts grade' which means you can swap heads, hairstyles and weapons to create your own unique character (which ties in very nicely to the character creation in the game itself). If you're lucky you might also find one of a number of special items to further personalise your character which range from bunny ears (!) to trusty hounds and even a William Tell apple with an arrow through it.
Overall box size: 110mmx90mmx35mm
Each box contains: a sealed mini figure (slight self-assembly required) plus Japanese info sheet.
Although we can offer a choice of character we can't guarantee you'll get any special items with your figure. |

Namco Pintre Collection
A very cool collection of official character pins (or badges if you're a British child of the 70's) from Japanese video game company - Namco. That, of course, means Pac-Man and the usual retro selection of Dig Dug, Mappy and Galaxians but there are some newer characters here as well. like the super-cute drums from Taiko no Tatsjuin and Namco's current puzzle king (and dinkybox fave) Mr.Driller!
Each badge is approximately 1" square (give or take a few mm) and is done in a process called cloisonne. The base and any outlines are metal and the colour is an enamel fill. Super shiny and very high quality. They're held on fast by a sturdy butterfly clip. |

Shadow of the Colossus
There are very few games around that have a real sense of 'grandeur' about them but this PlayStation 2 release from the team that had a fan favourite hit in Ico, some time before, is certainly one of them.
Each level consisted of just one objective - defeat a colossus; huge guardians that roamed a mysterious land. Some were big, others just plain massive but they all had to be brought down if you were to revive your strangely unconcious companion - Mono.
Each of the figures in this set stand between 50-90mm high and requires a couple of seconds worth of assembly. The attention to detail is amazing and they look exactly like their in-game counterparts. Good grief, even the box they come in is classy with a lovely matt finish.

Each of these AC plushes stands a decent 10" or so high and are official authorised designs. |

 | game on: ANIMAL CROSSING SUPER DX PLUSH: Tom Nook
produced by: Banpresto
We're glad dinkybox isn't going up against Tom Nook's store; he's a canny salesman. Fortunately, for us, he's a bells only business.
This goodie will be shipped seperately due to size.
Approximate size: 10inches (25cm). Very cute and very cuddly (and rather large)!
dinky price...£12.00
