K-ON! Toaster, SD Blow-Up Doll Sold with Film Tickets
posted on by Egan Loo
Starting on September 15, the LAWSON chain of Japanese convenience stores will begin offering advance tickets to the K-ON! film that are bundled with either the official K-ON! Toaster or the official Yui Hugging Doll.
The toater's body is decorated with images of the members of the manga and anime's high school band Ho-kago Tea Time. In addition, each inserted bread slice will be toasted with the image of the lead character Yui's face. The ticket/toaster bundle costs 6,550 yen (about US$85.50) for general admission and 6,050 yen (US$79) for children's admission. LAWSON will begin shipping the toasters to people who pre-order the bundle on January 5, 2011.
LAWSON is offering a different bundle with a super-deformed, vinyl blow-up doll of Yui. The doll comes with arms designed to hug when blown up. The ticket/doll bundle costs 1,825 yen (US$23.80) for general admission and 1,325 yen (US$17.30) for children's admission. LAWSON will begin shipping the doll to people who pre-order the bundle on December 27.
The film itself will open in Japan in December 3. The production company Pony Canyon revealed the basic premise of the story earlier this month.
