Tiger & Bunny's Kotetsu & Barnaby Bed Sheets Offered

The character goods retailer Surfersparadise began offering life-size udemakura sheets of Kotetsu and Barnaby, the main characters from the Tiger & Bunny superhero anime series, on Tuesday. (Udemakura is Japanese for resting your head on someone's arm as a pillow.) Each of the 100% cotton sheets has four-color printing and measures 140 centimeters (about 55 inches) wide and 210 centimeters long (83 inches).

Surfersparadise and other retailers began accepting pre-orders for 10,500 yen (US$137) each, and the sheets will ship on January 28. Surfersparadise will also offer a few for advance sales at Comic Market 81 at the Tokyo Big Sight center from December 29 to December 31. People who buy both characters' sheets in a set will receive a bonus telephone card.

Surfersparadise is offering smaller, 3,150-yen (US$41) cushions of Kotetsu and Barnaby, which will ship on January 28 as well.
