We dream of preorder bonus figurines

We so wish we could get one of these NiGHTS figurines. The game may be about jumping through hoops, but there are just too many non-game-related hoops to go through before we could get this. We can't exactly go preorder a copy from a Japanese store, and we wouldn't be able to play it if we did, but ... look at the thing! It's so adorable.

This is apparently the first item in Pepper Shop's PaPETCH line of figurines, which means that we may see more game characters released in this simplistic, rounded style. And then we can report on not being able to get those as well!

Well, somehow the miracle of a NiGHTS sequel has happened; maybe if we bug Sega enough, we can get this or a bonus like it in the U.S.
