What started as an April Fool’s joke (remember: 9/10ths of all April Fool’s jokes executed by companies are actually test marketing — I’m looking at you, ThinkGeek) is becoming reality, and Japanese toy manufacturer Bandai is releasing a line of weaponized cat action figures. The Nekobusou (‘Armored Cats’) toys will range in price from 500 yen (~$4.50) for a basic figure ,and up to 1,388 yen (~$12.50) for one of the more elaborate ones. Of course they’ll probably end up costing like $60 here in the U.S. because some jerk bought them all and is reselling them on eBay at a ridiculous markup. “You were right! It looks like the seller GWsToychest has got them all.” Wow, what a no-good a$$hole. *shrug* I guess we’ll just have to pay though.

Keep going for several more shots of all the fun to be had.
