The other night I thought about this...have you ever wished that certain things in anime were avalible at your local Target? I know they're are some things that I wish I could have but can't.
I don't mean things such as Digi-vices (if anybody cares about Digimon anymore XP) or Zoids, but more along the lines of the, er, props used by the character, such as Harkuo's motorbike and Goku's fight suit (no, not the Halloween costume version =P).
Realisticly and non-realisticly, and reasons please.

[u]Realisticly[/u]

I'm not sure what I'd want from an anime that could actually come true, but I like Haruko's outfit and bike from FLCL. They're so cool, and the motorbike would be fun to have to go around on. ^^ Also, her outfit is just the spiffiest. Really, er, stylish.
I also think it would be awesomly cool if somebody put out a coat like Vash's (Trigun). That'd be so much fun to have; you could re-enact various scenes from the anime and run around like an idiot with a popgun going "I am Vash the Stampede! Outta my way!"
Uh...yeah, moving on...*sweatdrop*

[u]Non-Realisticly[/u]

There are two things that I'd like that are non-realistic - power readers from DBZ and my own Gundam! Woo! ^^
I think they power reader would be something really fun to have. You can see just how strong you are compared to the person you hate the most. It'd also be fun just to see what everything's power levels are. ("Let's see...I am a 2 while this apple is a....49? Huh?")
Gundam. Yeah, every Gundam fan's fantasy. Mine would be a Mobile Suit Gundam from G Gundam. One problem with a Gundam is that it's too big...I'd have to convert my while backyard (about an acre) into a maitnence deck. Still though, it would be fun...

The bike in FLCL? You mean the Vespa? Vespa's are everywhere man. Especially in Italy and Spain.

I would like to have that house thing in MKR that just goes *poof* from that tiny thing to lodgings for the night. I could have REALLY used that in Costa Rica. *crindges at some of the "lodgins" there*

I wish that they'd hurry up and invent Angels. You know, like the ones from Angelic Layer. Now that'd be great at the local K-mart. Similarly, persocoms'd be awesome, as would those little keychains, like Yumi's. Sadly, I don't see any of that coming soon, but I do think they will be really invented someday.

It'd be nice if I could get one of those glove-jewel things from Magic Knight Rayearth. They'd be so much help for my afternoon classes where I have to carry 4 binders, a notebook, a workbook, graph parer, 2 text books, and of course my SSR book. The pile always spills over my desk when I set it down. Yeah...they could sell them during their back to school sale and they could come n all different colors and okay I'm going over board now....

Ooh boy, I like this post. I once got bored and made an anime wish list:cool:
[b]Realistic[/b]

Tenou Haruka's yellow car. Yes, I [i]want[/i] one, I just can't [i]afford[/i] one! Also I want the girl's racing bike since it seems to be indestructable and when it flies in the air you can do your little transformation.:laugh:
And if Haruka won't give me her bike, I think I'll steal Rei's from Mars
Also, I want the Bag that Momo carried in Peach Girl

[b]unrealistic[/b]

Michiru's Deep Aqua mirror
Haruka's Space sword.
Rei's(SailorMars) Ofuda
A rosary like the one Kagome got for InuYasha. This would be perfect for me to use on my husband because if he did something I didn't like or was going to try and take my car, I could tell him to sit and he'd do a face plant.
Also high on my list are Tasuki's tessen and Chichiri's kasa.


[COLOR=purple]How many bowls of stupid did you have for breakfast?[COLOR]

My wardrobe is a bit lacking, so I think I'd want:
-Bikky's FAKE cap (Talk about authentic merchandise.)
-Duo Maxwell's outfit (Can anyone go wrong with that much black?)
-Haku's regular outfit _and_ his kimono (He has far better fashion sense than I do.)
-Anything designed by Daidouji Tomoyo (Especially that sheep outfit.)

Yes, I really do. They are called Vespas, and agreeing with rttocks77, they are everywhere in Italy and Spain. Cuter version of a motorcycle, I call it.

[b]Realistic[/b]
Can't think of one at the moment...leave a message after the beep.

[b]Unrealistic[/b]
Cat ears!!! *Not plastic which is probably in your mind* I am kind of like a cat myself...so cuddly, and I don't have to mess with my cat's own ears.
Wolfwood's gun, that thing is so...BIG...and COOL!!!!

[b]Realistictly:[/b]

Well these are somewhat available things that I want ---> Vash's glasses, A [i]authentic[/i] shinsengumi uniform =}, a Japanese Katana, and of friggen baby the mother load... I want a Hachi Roku (AE86 Honda Trueno) identical to Takumi's from Initial D, hell i'll settle for a Lan EVO, really just about any car from Initial D would do :rolleyes:.

Um does this count ---> learn to do techniques from the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu for real x___X! Hey atleast some techniques are somewhat possible :P

[b]Unrealistictly:[/b]

A Gundam (any mobile suit will do =]), a Armor Slave (once again any model), Mido Ban's Evil Eye technique, Ginji's ability to create thunder/electricity, ---->

There are alot more things I want but it would take to long to name them all let alone think up everything I want so I guess that's just a brief list of some of the things I would want off the top of my head...

Well....

[U]Realistictly[/U]

I would love to have the Demon Slayer's outfit from Sango(Inuyasha), the black dress from Dorthey(Big O), and the kimono Inuyasha wears. They will look so good on me. Halloween will be the bomb.:tasty: :p


[U]Non-Realistictly[/U]

Sailormoon magic and Inuyasha ears. They look so cute. Now, no one will snatch them off my head ever again. Also, I'll be able to hear well than last time. COOL!!:cool: :rolleyes:

--Miyu's hairstyle (Vampire Princess Miyu). It's just so neat-looking, what with the side bun and the crimson ribbon woven into her braid.

--Tiara's outfit (Shamanic Princess). Thigh-high boots and a ridiculously short skirt? Oh yes. I doubt I would be able to wear her clothing and simultaneously retain even the slightest shred of dignity, but it'd certainly be fun to try.

[b]Unrealistically:[/b]

--The RahXephon (from, well, RahXephon). A beautifully designed mecha that possesses unique powers and the ability to battle with sound alone.... yes, I'd take [i]very[/i] good care of it.

--Japolo (Shamanic Princess). The cutest--not to mention least annoying--shoujo mascot, ever. Who wouldn't want a talking ferret?

--Faye's body (Cowboy Bebop). Well, she's rather high on my list of most attractive anime females. It'd be quite a pleasant surprise to wake up looking like that (although the inevitable back strain might become rather annoying).

[B]i know someone who made a pair of vash glasses and wore them [/B][/QUOTE]

I actually have a pair of sunglasses like Vash's. Instead of a W shape in the frame legs they have a V shape and instead of being orange the lenses are red.

Ok the things I'd like to have...
[B]Realistically[/B]
--Alucards red suit. A bit out dated but cool non the less, especially his pimp style hat.
--Priss's motorcycle. She had that thing tricked out.
--Sanosuke Sugara's white suit the symbol for "bad" on the back. Now that's just bad @$s.
-- Inuyasha's red suit. I just love the M.C. Hamer pants :laugh:

[B]Un=Realistically[/B]
-- Alucard's 454 Jackal. Now thats a bad @$s gun. Beats Vash's anyday.
-- A freakin Gundam. The Deathscythe would cool. If I had it I'd take over the world, no army could stop me:devil: :flaming: :demon:
-- Ryoko , the all powerfull demon/space pirate. A dude can wish can't he.
--Spike's Swordfish 2. I would change the color though, i don't like pink. Black or Blue is more my colors.

*extremly hyper* You do you do you do? Where'd you get them? How'd you get them? MUST HAVE VASH GLASSES!!!!!!!!!
*sweatdrop* Okay. I feel better.

Oops. Meant here in the states. Haha, forgot to say. I knew they were in the world out there...somewhere. But I would like Haruko's vespa. Ya know, the one with the P! design. ^^ But I guess I could put that on myself. (*pouting* Not the same...)

Picky,picky,picky. I would want Tetsuigua (InuYasha's sword). That way, I could cut everyone I hate (long list) into little tiny pieces!!!Mmwwhhaaaaa!!!! Either that or the weird flying thing in Trigun. It was, like, 10 feet across, shaped almost like a spinning-top. Vash and Wolfwood rode on it to get to the SEEDS ship. If I had that, I wouldn't need to take the bus to school.(yay!)

An excellent choice, my friend. I would have to agree, although I'm technically not a dude. What can I say? Ryoko has universal appeal.

However, I doubt she'd enjoy being referred to as something that might be available at one's local Target..... ^_^;;

Well they have real replicas of Vash's sunglasses (they have real replicas of Wolfwoods too x__X), I'll find the link to them again later I know they're somewhat expensive but as soon as I get another job i'm getting them they are just too hot to pass up x_X. As for getting Sanosuke's shirt with the kanji for bad on it it wouldn't be that hard to do really o_O finding a similar white shirt is easy enough and there are tons of websites that would put the kanji on the back of your shirt for a certain price *adds Sanosuke's shirt to his list*. Hmmm... now that I think of it I really wish I could have Clouds Buster sword ^_____^ (not anime but hey close enough!).
