Bandai just anounced a new gadget toy called ‘Pera Model‘ (ペラモデル). The name is a combination from the words ‘personal’ and ‘paramodel’ (パラモデル), which is Japanese for ‘plastic model’.

Just like our mobile service pepico (ペピコ), users can personalize the dolls with pictures taken by their own digital cameras. ‘Pera Model’ comes in four colors and with special print paper. All 16 parts of the doll can be customized with a special software, available free on the company’s website (Mac OS and Win XP SP2/Vista versions available).

BUY ->  CUSTOMIZE -> PRINT -> PLAY
That’s it! Simple and easy, but definitely the latest personal gadget on the Japanese market!

‘Para Model’ will be in stores from July 18th. It’s not confirmed if this little toy will also be sold outside of Japan, but if you are interested feel free to ask our friends at Japan Trend Shop.
