Well, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten is certainly getting the royal treatment when it comes to releases! I mean, the game isn’t out until September, and NIS America has already announced two different special editions. So if paying $49.99 and just getting the PS3 game seems distasteful to you, you have two more elaborate options.

First, there’s a Disgaea 4 Premium Edition…

One of the many things gamers love about Japan is all of the awesome figurines that are made there. Among the cutest and most recognizable of said figures are the Nendoroids. These super deformed (chibi) versions of iconic characters are delightful to look at and friendly for any collector, since their appearance allows them to be enjoyed by people of all ages. Plus, they have quite a bit of personality, despite their small stature.

So this week, Important Importables is all about the Nendoroids. I’ll tell you what they are, suggest a few specific models you may want to check out and offer up some links to reputable places that sell them. After that, it’s up to you. It’s not like I’m going to actually buy them for you! They’re expensive and I have an otome collection to maintain…

Two versions of Disgaea 4 are going to be released in Japan, a ¥7,140 (~$85) standard version and a ¥9,975 (~$120) limited edition. So why the ¥2,835 (~$35) difference? Fuuka!

Well, not just Fuuka, though she does play a part…

Still shopping for holiday gifts? You’re cutting it a bit close there, you know. Don’t worry, it may be better you waited – at least, if you have someone on your list who likes statues and figurines. JList/JBox is having a big sale on some of the site’s overstocked figures. There’s a specific page at both sites with the select reduced figures.

Remember, if you’re under 18 or at work, head to JBox, as JList is the version of the site that does contain adult or not safe for work (NSFW) materials for sale. Actually, after checking through the sale figure lists at both JBox and JList, I’d recommend checking the sites out at home. Even some of the JBox figures on sale look a bit risque.

In addition to the discounted prices on the various kinds of figures, there’s even a further discount. If some items at either site catch your eye, and you decide to buy two or more of the discounted figures, you’ll get an extra 10% off when you check out. Not a bad deal…
