Everyone's favorite cowboy boots and bikini wearin' zombie slayer Aya from D3's
Onechanbara is getting a new figurine come this June. Priced at ¥7,140 (US $59), the fig is at 1/6 scale and measures in at 29 cm (11.4 inches). Over at the YAMATO link below, there's even a "PHOTOZoomer" that lets shoppers get up close and personal with the figure. How close? Why,
this close.

We've seen the
cute toys, now have a gander at the cute
Onechanbara cell phone game. Cowboy-hat-wearing-zombie-slayer gets cell-shaded and over-the-shoulder camera angles for D3 Publisher's CERO Z (the Japanese game equivalent of "X") title. Since its a cell phone title, apparently the game slips under the country's ratings radar. Though, with graphics that kawaii, what's to worry?

Idolm@ster and
Onechanbara, the Xbox 360 is a console for Japanese consumers with discerning tastes. Not only that, but hit "American" titles like

Our favorite zombie-slashing cowboy hat-donning boa-wearing bikini killer,
Onechanbara's Aya gets new duds in the next-gen Xbox 360 sequel
Onechanbara VorteX. Looks like there are dress-ups for the character's head, arms, legs—along with tops and bottoms for the character to wear during the hacking and the slashing. Don't just think of them as new outfits for Aya to wear, but new outfits to cover in zombie blood.
