We saw this guy in the claw machines in Japan--but despite Mr. Tiki's best efforts, never managed to win one!!!





Thanks to the miracle of online auctions, however, nodder Stitch is ours, bwa-ha-ha!



So, what does it do? It's a solar-powered nodder! Just stick him in the sun (or, if you live like we do, in Seattle, near an artificial light source) and his head bobbles back and forth, in a Missy Elliot-like funkay fashion. Wowee zowie!!

see I thought it was one of those Stitch alarm clocks they were selling at the NFFC show & sale. I thought they were neat but they were like $25 or so bucks.. too expensive for me. I got my 3 L&S buses for $15.. =P Ok.. the alarm clock is useful but not if I have it in the cabinet. *grin*

How big were the alarm clocks? The nodders aren't too big--you can see my laptop keyboard in the background of the last photo, so I'd say he's about 6" high. He's about $2 if you're able to snag him in a claw machine.

Oh, wow! I've seen just generic characters like this--not licensed characters! This is cute! Smarter move, Japan!

I found your LJ because I googled the Nina Pullip (couldn't remember which one she was... and now I rememebr why, I didn't find her that exciting ^^; heh), but.... so many adorable Stitch toys! And the Stitch Sunshine Buddy takes the cake. XD Is this available in non-Japan countries? It has English on the box... but in Japan, that means hardly anything... ¬¬

Agh, I adore Lilo and Stitch though, it's one of my favorite movies! And I'm quickly becoming enamoured of Pullips (don't own one yet but it's sort of becoming a matter of time... until I have a decently-paying job. > <). So your journal is like AWESOMENESS! XD

Anyways, just wanted to compliment you on your many cool Stitches and Pullips! ^^

Thanks! Ooo, like your pirrrrrate icon!

No, the Stitch nodders aren't available in the US as far as I can tell, unless someone's selling them on eBay. I think it was made as a claw machine prize, since that's the only place I saw it when I was in Japan a couple months back. The packaging is kinda strange--it's all Japanese on the *outside* of the package, but then when you take it out, the inner sleeve is all in English!

My Pullip page is slightly better organized than my LJ, but, unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a year.
