Everywhere there's lots of piggies...

pigs is love

Every day, people come up to us on the street and ask, "Tikistitch, whyn't ya do some more of that there annie may stuff?" 'Cause, our web site is "Attack of the Anime Toys!" with the exclamation point an all. Back when Tikistitch was a chibi Stitch, we had new magical girls toys and dollies all the time. Hourly, even!! But sadly, we just haven't found much new that floats our collective boat.

This is, then, a rare find. These little piggies are from a shoujo anime called "Tonde Buurin." The double U is important in this case, since "buurin" is supposed to be the imitation of a piggie sound! Cute, huh? It involves a little girl, who we see on the back of the box. If memory serves, her name is Karin. The little piggies don't have individual names, but are called the Kobuta, after the characters on their tummies. (I believe that their tummies actually now spell out "Na bu ta," in case anyone is interested.)

Anyways, Karin is not the normal sailor-suited magical girl, because when she transforms, she transforms into this, a big pink piggie! She has to go on some kind of magical quest, but meanwhile, if anyone sees her as Buurin, the piggie, she has to stay in piggie form....forever!

Yeah, I know, somewhere in Japan, someone was doing some pretty sweet psychedelics way back when.
