Feena Towel
For folks who like their magazines to some with a tangible 2D girl towels - the latest G's Festival comes with a towel with Feena-getting-out-of-the-bath printed on it. More pics of the towel and G's Festival contents at Akiba Blog.
The last one I got was of Sendo Erika which hangs on my office wall. Speaking of office, do you have otaku goodies out n about at work? At Amazon, the toys team had a load of figures around their desk which I would visit to see if their was anything they didn't want.
Folks at Microsoft had interesting stuff around their desk too. There was a Japanese Tea otaku who had a load of tea set stuff on display ^^; he was also an army uniform otaku too and had South Korean, Chinese and German army uniforms.

I've seen some cheap bootleg anime towels being sold here, sadly the real stuff are hard to come by in this part of the world.

Never bought the magazine because I can't read Japanese, it would be a waste of money to buy magazine just to see pictures..

Unfortunately I don't have anything on my desk at work that isn't related to getting the job done or keeping me organized. The manager wouldn't allow it and since my desk is right next to the receptionists desk, clients could easily steal anything they wanted from it.
???Confused???
I wish the magazines here had good stuff like that to come with it...

Heh, if the magazine in American do that, they would definately jack up the price up alot just like what happend with the movies industry. More goodies (alot are useless) mean way higher price >.<

Feena towel.. Would one use it to wipe one's own body? I wouldn't - gets dirty fast*cough*...

The towel looks great, not much of a chance of seeing that where I am. I would grab a few and if I lived in Japan would be eternally broke from all the stuff that has to be bought I just know it.

Nice, but I don't really need another towel.

Hmm... I already got Kurugaya Yuiko and Hiyoko Tamaizumi... Should i get this?? Look's cute tho... I missed Erika Sendo's, so probably character by same illustrator would satiate my longing for Erika's towel, Feena is also cute... XD
Eggh... and Dengeki's Festival of Yoake is also coming out this february... ahh... the dilemma... the dakimakura will be really tempting T.T, But how come there's still no news about dengeki G's Festival for Flyable Heart?? That's the one i'm anticipating the most... 8D

Hmmm, Feena-chan. Oh, how I whish we could get a hold of mags like that over here; non of our magazines (all non-anime though as we don't have those) hand out goodies like that structurally....

Talking about workplace I would like to see my classroom have that kind of decoration. Like a wall scroll here and a anime poster there maybe a few nendoroid at the front. It would help me study in whatever subject I'm taking.

Hmm currently on my office desk, there are:
- 8 nendo puchi (on top of monitor)
- 10 gashapon (5 girls from 00, 3 girls from Haruhi, 2 mechas)
- 4 trading figures
- 4 action figures (fraulein Yoko, Pocco, figma Haruhi, Revoltech Shin Getter 1)
- 3 scaled figures (Daiki Kanu, QB Alice and QB Nanael)

A towel with a picture of a girl wrapped in a towel on it? Seems like a pretty novel idea...
But what if her towel had a picture of a girl wrapped in a towel with another picture of a girl wrapped in a towel.. etc. You get the idea...
I would buy that!

I have the Konomi Yuzuhara figurine at my office desk sitting on top of my work computer. Though instead of the flower she's holding a CMOS chip representing the company i'm working for. I also have a Clannad anime desktop wallpaper at work too on my 22" screen. Though I don't think i'll be brave enough to hang such towel at my workplace though! ^^;

Feena! Always loved Feena...Yoake Mae was pretty bad with animation at times, and the story was cheesy, but it was a proudly sappy and simple-minded cheesy.
The fact that I don't own anything related to her makes it tempting, but I pass. No bookstores I know of offer G's here, and I'm not going to ship a copy all the way here just for the towel.

No, no displaying stuff at work:P
Nice towel though.

Most people at my office have something or other displayed- mainly family pictures or print-outs of comics they found funny. I have four Zaku (three Zeonography, and one Char version that is more poseable), and that seems to be almost in excess of the maximum amount of wildness or zaniness that most can take around here.

I don't think there's anything like that around here, though I would like to get something like that some day.. People would give it weird looks, which is amusing!

Mmmmmmmm...that looks good to get, hard for me to purchase though
Do want! Too bad I probably can't without paying a ridiculous amount. How much do they cost anyways?
I bought the Dengeki G's Festival Vol.14 with the dakimakura instead of the one in those topic with the towel. Sorry to say so, but getting these volumes I was expecting better material quality but had to find out that quality isn't always present with these goodies. So far I've been really happy with the Nogizaka Haruka mouse pad.
The previous releases I got were the one with the Little Busters microphiber towel. Quality was ok, but could have been better as I have other microphiber towels that have a better printing and sewing at the borders was done with more care.
I also go the Festival edition that came with a Da Capo bed sheet (synthetic material). The sheet is so stif that I would never sleep in it. The bed sheet in the August Variety box was of exelent quality compared to the Da Capo bed sheet.
The dakimakura cover (from Oretsubasa) that came with the 14th volume is made of the same material/quality as the Da Capo bed sheet. I don't plan on using it. On top of that there is no zipper closing. While it was a free goodie you really can't compare it to the quality you get from a Cospa or Axia dakimakura cover.
As for goodies at work. Don't have any there. I do usually have an anime related wallpaper set as my computer's dektop image.

How can one such as myself who lives in the US, and knows very little Japanese, obtain such a magazine?
Amazon Japan still has some:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B001P83R56/ref=s9_sims_c5_s4_p14_t1?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=center-5&pf_rd_r=1SS4BQTGVWFR9SE749EF&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463376716&pf_rd_i=489986
As for understanding your way around: there's an option to view the page in English.
In the future you could also keep an eye out at Hobby Search as they have them too, but they usually sell out when they are released.
