Toy OTD: Rush, Inc's Euvodesign Nuigurumi Bank
I don't know much at all about this company, or one of its mascots, Nuigurumi. It appears to be an ecologically-minded organization, but I can't figure out much more than that. Anyway, the mascot is a cool design, and so is this bank (though it doesn't look like it can hold much money). The colors and sculpt are great - the paint work is mostly fine, with the globe's line work being the only rough point.I think I originally got this at Super 7 (though I may have gotten it at a toy show or convention), but I doubt that they have more of them at this point. If you can read Japanese, you can still get one at Euvodesign's web store for ¥1,575, or about $13.74 + shipping. If you order it directly from them, I think a portion of the proceeds goes to charity (though it's hard to tell). You may need to use a Japanese shopping/bidding service for this one!
