Wait, they're selling them that cheap?!

They were selling them at Sakura-Con (at the NicoNico booth) for $160 each.

They are fun to play with, though, someone let me borrow his. I kept twitching them, somehow.

Looking at them in action, they remind me more of inumimi. Maybe it's the sight of them lying down.

Somehow I want one too, but I don't think I'll wear that and walk around hahaha... Maybe if they make it in black and make it smaller I would try it because it would blend with my hair.

I'd love to try a pair out, but my really-bushy dreadlocks make it very difficult for me to wear any kind of headgear. The band would not even reach my scalp, probably.

So much overuse at conventions to look forward to.

I'm not normally into cat ears (as in personally wearing them). However, if the cost is decent, I could see snagging a pair myself.

...though I'll just end up giving them to my niece.

(I remember the video from about a year ago, pretty cool)

Actually, the white "ears" are just a cover over the foam and movement pieces, so you can make black ones, and probably make smaller ones if you wanted.

If those are being sold at AX this year, I'm buying a pair, without a doubt. And then I will wear them while I drink copious amounts of alcohol, just so I can see what the effects of alcohol are on these ears. Purely in the interests of science, mind you.
