I think we've seen something like this before, but this time around it's a little different. Last time around it was a USB figure with a game on the device, and this time it is a 130mm tall figure from Hayate x Blade that comes along with controller software so you can make it say various things and such. Not a very good figure, but it's an interesting direction that I would like see things go. Maybe some Ikkitousen figures that you plug in and the strip and tell you how good you make them feel… or something like that. You know. Anyway, this one is out in March for 4,800 yen.

One shot after the jump. It sort of looks like an 80s ad.
