Stitch big fig/fountain from Japan

So, we're being a lazy butt tiki this afternoon (well, as lazy butt as you can be when you're working two jobs, but that's another story, for another time) and have just been basically spamming Flickr with whatever's in our camera.

This piece was kind of a surprise: It's a Stitch big fig from the Disney store in Japan. We missed it when they issued it, and then had a terrible time locating one for sale on Yahoo that wasn't broken - all the small pieces are really fragile. THEN when we finally got it, we realized, it's not just a big fig, it's a water fountain, with a motor and everything! Super kewl. The boffins at Tiki Labs are pleased.

Here's another weird one

Stitch! the anime microscope

This is the official Stitch! microscope, which alone makes it one of the most awesome things in the History of Forever. But wait, there's more! When we unwrapped it and saw the SEGA markings, we realized that it's actually a UFO catcher prize! That's right, in Japan, you can get a microscope out of a crane machine. Which leads us to wonder, what the hell else was in this set? The Stitch particle accelerator? The mind boggles.
