You use the AXE to attract the women and the Gundam figures to keep them away.

As a woman, please, I implore you, single men of the world, no more Axe anything. Please, for the love of God. You are better than this.

Nah, I think it's both the Gundam figures and the smell of AXE that will keep the women away. Unless it's a completely different product in japan, that stuff is too overly sensitive to most people's sense of smell(which is what I think poonk was getting at).

Well, my opinion of the Gundam brand just went down the toilet.

Hello, ladies,

Now look at your man, now back to me, now back to your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he stopped using AXE ass-scented body wash and switched to Old Spice he could smell like he's me.

Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat with THE MAN YOUR MAN COULD SMELL LIKE. What's in your hand, now back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds.

Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not AXE shit.

I'm on a horse. Better than a Gundam.

The stuff smells good though, the shampoo and conditioner anyway. I don't use the body spray. Excuse me, I have a misogynistic soda to drink, one that women just can't handle because the commercial tells me.

I'd buy one of these just for the novelty, I doubt they'll ever be collectors items though.

Pff, you get Axe, deep V-neck, and a hairy chest.

They should do a commercial where the Gundam mini-figures would party all night every night but wake up refreshed each time!

The years of mediocrity in television shows, terrible video games, shoddy merchandise, and the Char Aznable vibrator didn't do that for you? Little figures that come with body spray was what did it?

I have little interest in any axe that cannot be used to cleave things in twain. Like Andrew Dice Clay, for example, whom I suppose would have more use for the kind at issue here.

Could be useful at conventions, for blowing the stink off some people. Or you could use it as manga cow repellant at your local book store.

And here I was thinking that Japan was free from the horrid entanglement of AXE.

Oh shit, I still remember practically choking to death on it in the gym locker rooms.

They should have hooked up with Old Spice Body Wash, since its bottles are red and gets you three times cleaner.
