In celebration of the Japanese release of Nippon Ichi Software’s Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero?, some new merchandise has appeared on the Japanese NIS online store. Included in the new merch are three different plush prinny forms, each with significance to the Disgaea/Prinny universe. The Big Sis Prinny is 4.5 cm taller (17 cm total) than the other two, which I guess explains the difference in price in case you were wondering.

Along with the 3 prinnies, a PSP case, or “game pouch” will be available to order soon. The pouch will sell for 1,785 Yen ($18.00). It’s kinda hard to tell, but you just slide the PSP into the opening on the left side.

When it comes to NIS merchandise in Japan, us Westerners almost always receive it secondhand through NIS America. It may be a pre-order bonus, it may come in a special edition package, or it may just appear on Rosenqueen Company. No matter the channel, I am pretty sure we’ll be seeing these goods popping up around the February 17th release of Prinny. I think the Hero Prinny would be an excellent addition to my desk at work. His vacant gaze and crimson scarf will be my inspiration to not quit and become a filthy hobo.
