Bandai Pantsu
Apart from making excellent Gunpla, Bandai also make pantsu...
While these pantsu have a little window for pet dolphins to peek outside from time to time, they are actually targeted at girls in their twenties.
They cost 1,029 yen and should be out any time soon.
Press release at Bandai where they have a small photo of a girl wearing one.
Any girls here interested in these?

Why the need for dolphin peeking facilities for pantsus?
I think Bandai must be targeting males in their twenties (or older) for this one and the whole "targeted for girls" thing is just a marketing gimmick to drive up interest ^^

You are probably very close to truth:P

I don't think most guys would want to wear that though.

I've met a lot actually. It's probably around 50/50 me thinks.

No, it's a style thing. Plus I'm sure they're more comfortable in the breathing department or something. Do guys really use the dolphin hole? O.o I always wondered why that was there...

im sure some do, but ive had a pair before and to me they are a pain the the ass, you might as well just walk around with the dolphin hanging out pretty much.

I agree that it seems odd to have a dolphin peeking hole...
But think about it this way: What if it was a hole for the dolphin to peek 'in'???
tl;dr: "For the dolphin to go in, NOT out..."

I'd like to see more photos with those in action. Hehes

Id buy them! In fact, I plan too.
Pantsu like that are super comfy, and those are just cute.
I think the dolphin hole is just for fun really.
But my fiance would love it. O_o (Not for wearing them himself.. But for... Other things. >_>;)

Uh yea..I doubt the hole is for the dolphin to peep out its more for it to um >>;

Danny-san - I read the puchi about my posts and not being able to upload, but have no idea what i did wrong... T_T
Also, can't even post puchi's so had to post here since i don't know how else to contact you...
Taking the opportunity, i think tha pantsu are cute and all but seems like a strange business for Bandai to be getting into xD.
http://www.marvinryan.com
what did you upload? did you upload a number of post in a row?
Student, Gamer, Part-time EFSF Pilot
Well, i posted once (a pic of a guy dressed as Vader in a cool car), went off to have lunch and when I came back it was gone, so i tried posting again because my connection was weird before in the first place so i thought the problem could be on my end...
Then i noticed Danny's blurb at me but i have no idea why he canceled my permission to upload... I really don't... Apart for not coming here for over a month that is...
And i can't even post blurbs so, no direct conversation with Danny-san and maybe he's gone to sleep now?
T_T
http://www.marvinryan.com
ah, that has been posted before.
http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/13357/New+Ride+For+Hector.html
do try to check before posting. and if you find your post delete, its probably done for a reason. I reckon Danny requested you delete the post on the comments but you were out, so he did it himself.
Student, Gamer, Part-time EFSF Pilot
My bad about reposting but c'mon... Not being able to upload? Kinda harsh...
I didn't take that long at lunch and i didn't see any comment before i went so i don't think Danny commented (not sure though). Really, i don't know...
Whatever, in the end i'm sure Danny-san'll do what he thinks is best...

Thanks tenrou-san, i'll just wait it out for now, then i'll try to talk to Danny-san, since i don't wann bother him much anyway.
You know, i've been here in DC.com pretty much from the beginning but you and marvin-san really feel like senpais to me. ^_^

Let me get this straight. You mean:
a) these PANTSU are actually targeted at girls in their twenties.
or
b) PET DOLPHINS are actually targeted at girls in their twenties.

It's not surprising that these are marketed for women. A lot of my female friends have commented that men's briefs are more comfortable for them than many women's pantsu... ^^;

is this the beginning of a new form of group gatherings. today at an undisclosed location, thousands of individuals, both male and female, gathered for the very first pantsu swapping event, studies have shown that women before mens briefs.. and of course the men couldnt resist the opportunity to swap.. now we will bring you some live footage from the event where numerous patrons are competiting for swapping rights with their prefered choices. i certainly hope they keep it civilised.

But they're targeted for women, you say. Perhaps the windows are for pet dolphins to peek *inside* rather than the other way around? Mighty convenient for the active young member of the household. >_>
