Premium Cell Sheet Volume 1
New merchandise!!!
I stumbled across this when I was randomly web surfing today and my jaw dropped. I can't believe that I didn't hear about this release anywhere! Hopefully I haven't been a total idiot and missed it if it was already posted here. @.@ It's something akin to collectible cards/cells.

It might be because it's a new product as there are sample pictures for almost all the cards. *0*
I can't entirely be sure what these cards are made out of, but from the site, I gathered that each pack comes with a semi-translucent cell sheet (kind of like the Prince of Tennis Shining Clear Cards I suppose...) with a character and one regular card with different character(s). If you have several, you can swap backgrounds and cell sheets and all that jazz to "recreate" the picture. You can also see this link for examples of it in action. Can I say that Atobe withe sunflowers does not do it for me?! I actually flinched. XD
For some reason, they also provide downloads of the sunflower and tennis court backgrounds here - maybe for people who want to print it out??? I don't know. =P
Anyways, I'm going to shamelessly say that I desperately WANT the Kirihara clear cell (C-3). He's just so freakin' adorable with that popsicle that I squealed so loudly when I saw the picture and freaked out my family. So if anyone gets it and wants to sell it...sell it to me! XD
Oh yes, apparantly there's a Premium Cell Sheet Volume 2 (of course...when does Prince of Tennis ever stop coming up with money-making ideas...?) coming out on October 20, 2008.
