Mojibakeru


From the 17th of May, Bandai are to release a new series of trading figures in the form of kanji that transforms into its animal counterpart. The product is called "Mojibakeru" [もじバケる] which is a compound word of "Moji" [文字] meaning "character" and "Bakeru" [化ける] meaning "to change into."
Me thinks these would be useful to help folks remember kanji - they just need to make more.
There will initially be 6 kanji to collect and will cost a mere 105 yen each - they also comes with some gum to chew on while you figure out how to transform it. Each kanji comes in 3 colors giving a total of 24 different combination's.
