Via the Dakimakura Integrated Research Institute: Word is in from 2D goods maker Nijigen Cospa that they’ll be producing a second hug pillowcase featuring Yoko, heroine of Gainax’s Gurren Lagann TV anime (we scooped the first one back in July). This new version features images of her as she appears later in the show, in what Cospa calls her “space look” and her “Yomako” look respectively (wonder where they got the idea for Yomako?). The case is now available for preorder at Cospa, with release scheduled for late January at 150×50 cm and 9,450 yen retail (case only). Picture below:
I’m a bit glad I held back on the first Yoko pillow now (though it was really nice too), as this one’s going to be a sure buy… it should be available for international order at the usual suspects soon.
wow. looks nice. good thing i’m not a pillowcase kind of guy or i’d be in trouble. this is better than the first one they put out i think.
Oh man, this Yoko cover is beautiful. I fear once I get started I wont be able to stop with these covers. *Must resisit the temptation*
WOW! This is definitely better than the first one. But like Devastator said, gotta resist, as I don’t think I will be able to stop once I started… :)
I already have one (Becky from Pani Poni), but I’m not going ballistic buying tonnes of these. But I’m glad I cancelled the re-release of the earlier Yoko, as this is more pleasing to the eye. ^^
[…] От наших коллег поступило сообщение, что производитель двумерных товаров Nijigen Cospa выпустит наволочку для подушки в полный рост с изображением Ёко, героини телесериала Gurren Lagann от Gainax. Эта версия отражает облик Ёко во второй части сериала, в Cospa это окрестили как “space look” и “Yomako” (интересно, а откуда они взяли мысль использовать Ёмако?) Оформить предварительный заказ на наволочку можно в Cospa, выход намечен на конец января, размеры: 150х50 см, цена: 9.450 иен (только сама наволочка). Также вскоре должен быть доступен заказ на Hobby Search. (+2 рейтинг, 2 голосов) Загрузка … […]

Nice call! I’ll put that in a newsbit right now, hopefully they’ll stick to that price for those who get their orders in in time.
Awesome, hopefully more people can get in on it. If the price sticks this will be my first dakimakura!
Nah they will send a notice to u that its the wrong price r maybe this is for a small head pillow? :P
