エイプリルフールの真実

WOW!!!!!!
I knew something was off...
Still...would laugh if someone got the oppai stormtrooper mousepad...I wouldn't mind owning it either...
I WANT THAT DAKIMAKURA!!!!!
Must go find a way to order it...

weird if that stormtrooper oppai mouse pad wasn't an april fool

Nice nice nice, I only want that figma though. How will we have to wait? @.@

ugghhhh *how long will we have to wait?*

lmao, i was fooled for the fakku one

20,000?????????? ah.... well... I count as one... well... it can happen...

oooh~~
can't wait for the oppai mousepad

I cant belive the Stormtrooper Oppai Mousepad was a April fools, shame on you Danny do not play with our feelings any more....

LOL just kidding!

Ouch 20,000 orders for the figma, eh? You're gonna need to do more translation work for GSC on NicoNico more often ^_^

*note to self: DC.com April Fools starts well in advance..."

Not that I was taken in by any of them, just need to prepare myself for next year's shenanigans. Will think about the Daki if its price is lower than regular ones, might hand one on my door.

So what would've happened if some folks living in Japan actually clicked on the "buy" button for the Mirai daki on HobbyStock?

WAT THE STORMTROOPER OPPAI MOUSEPAD IS A JOKE?! I HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE NOW.

LOL I knew that the stormtrooper one was fake; although the Mirai-chan stuff was too detailed to NOT be true (and besides it would be a waste not to do the merchandise).

Har har Danny! You dun fool me but I fooled you! ^___^

Btw Figma is too good for words. （´ ω ｀）

i hope there will be mirai doujinshi or hentai manga !!!

Well, I can buy at least 2 or 3 Mirai figmas if they are the usual price. Really looking forward to the oppai mousepad. Should be good.

Enjoyed the april fools shenanigans btw, looking forward to what you guys can produce next year ^__^

The Stormtrooper Oppai Mousepad was a good one!

I should have went with my first guess and thought he mixed real with fake. Some of them we're to elaborate just for a joke, I guess. Some of us we're half-right since they we're initially meant to be pranks. Darn you!! **wringing hands**

What a busy year for Danny. With everything he's involved with he may eventually open up his own Otakuland like Kubo from "Otaku No Video."

yup fakku would announced new mirai doujin (april fool)

NO !!!!!!!!! I wanted to buy a storm trooper oppai mouse pad T_T Danny you crushed my dreams.

Right on, Mirai merchandise was real, good to hear ^^ I didn't bother getting worked up about it because I won't believe anything I hear on April Fool's. Count me in on the Figma orders, I'll take one for sure. I might get the dakimakura, but it'll be a close one right now with lots of pre-orders coming this month.

Guessed all right ^^

I love the whole Mirai lineup, plan on picking up at least the Figma, the prototype looks just lovely. ^^; Was it difficult to get the dakimakura in the production lineup due to the usually high retail price of that type of product? Ganbatte on the room selection, too.

I'll be sure to get the figma when it finally sees the light of day! Hope you can surpass the required figures.

Fakku! I actually thought the oppai storm trooper was real!(joking) Would definitely get mirai figma and oppai mousepad. The dakimakura's are just too pricey for me.

I'LL TAKE 5 MIRAI SUENAGA FIGMAS!!!

Glad to know I identified everything correctly.

...except the anime thing. You're still messing with my head on that one. I'm convinced now that you derive sadistic pleasure from it.

How will the figma be distributed? Regular retailers?

Wow! I was almost right at which one was and wasn't april fools jokes. XD I was almost sure on the Fakku one...XD Good ones Danny! I am so getting the Mirai Figma, and that Dakimakura. :D
However, all the products are awesome. :)

OMG The suspense is killing me. I just ran through my house screaming, "It's almost time!" LOL XD

Told ya' XD

This one not april fool, but only the releasing date not in this month

April Fools are good times...wish dakimakura's were easier on the wallet...would like to get a few...

need to secure 20k orders ? O_O thats tough..

i'll make an annoucement for it on a forum(which i usually log into) tho dont think there're alot of figma lovers but at least +1 people still a good counts towards 20k

and on that matters, why not making a counting-of-people-want-figma mirai (tho it would be better to add a limiter -only common poster able to vote in-) thingy~~

20,000 huh? I'll take one =P

I was not as shocked, but also kept my suspicions on a lot of things.

Besides... Why a Stormtrooper oppai pad? There are no female Stormtroopers until the Empire were controlled by the Fel. :3

I would have gone with the "Danny Choo Dolphin Mouse Pad" that has you wearing something that is a mystery (actually trunks)... and is made for the female friends of the site. X3

Aww, am disapointed that there will be no oppai stormtrooper pad. =( would love one of those.

You pulled out a good one, Danny. Bravo! It is fun to see that the Mirai merchandises is in fact real :3 . When will it go on sell :D ?

NOOOOO!!!! The Storm trooper Oppai mousepad was COOL!!! T__T
dangit -_-

Wooooooooooooooo I want Mirai Figmaaaaaaaaaaa :D:D:D and maybe the oppai mousepads :P

Mirai Figma want! add me in as customer number 20,001. ^^

20,000? The upside is that I finally get a hint on how many items a regular batch run of a figma contains.

i want a mirai T-shirt! ^^

Fakku, Mirai "roundnesses", Tenga Eggs... dude ain't April 1st passed already? :)
WWW

Well, I know I'll be buying the dakimakura and mouse pad...if you are able to go lower than the standard pricing on tha dakimakura. Mouse pad, I'm getting regardless.

Suenaga anime!?!? O.O Am I reading it correctly or is your mind tricks up to no good again?!
Mirai better have the voice of an angel or there will be hell to pay >=O

I guessed that the Fakku and oppai mousepad news items were April Fool's jokes. The merch quality is far too good for just a prank. I might have believed the Figma was fake if it didn't have some of the realistic flaws that are visible in the pics (tiny chips and flecks of moulding material still clinging to it) and 3D design would not likely show. =^_^=

great job i thought something was up though with the fakku and oppai mousepad items, but the other items will be a must to get and the figma of mirai was a bit flakey but now i know it has come into the production stages it is a must get also want the Dakimakura and mouse pad just as bad.

Mirai T-Shirt, Mirai figma and Haruka Figma

The Fakku one was well done. I thought it was true. The figma and daikamura I didn't think because you've mentioned them at times in the past and thought for it all to be an april Fools, it's going to the extreme.
I can't wait to be able to get a Mirai figma.

woohoo.. can't wait for the giveaway result...^^

Hopefully I at least won a runner-up... XP

IF I happen to be among the 23 T.T

Anyway, Glad that the merchandises aren't prank!! XD I thought at least the figma for sure will be a prank... glad it's not!! Btw, who knows, maybe the joke at Hobby Search has made the demand for Mirai at Japan skyrocket as well... lol.

And btw, this is already April 3rd... Are you seriously telling me that there's possibility for Mirai anime... O.O WoW! can't wait for that if it's real... lol.

Keep rockin' Danny! >v<

waiting for mirai's version of oppai mousepad..

whoahhh... awesome...!
i did think it was too well done for an april fool... XDDD

I'm definitely gonna get that figma :3 Hope that it will be released any time this year xD

So............ Mirai merchandises are not on the market yet, but it great to know it's already at post-production stage~~~~~~~~

I thought I could own Mirai dakimakura as soon as next Tuesday..........

20,000 quantities is easy to reach if all of us purchase 4 pcs per person ^_^
1 for storage.
1 for on-shelf display,
1 for adoration,
1 for practical usage ^_^

I hope the wait its not too long for figma Mirai to be on the market~~~

20,000 huh? Thats a lot oh well count me in for one ^^

really thought u bought fakku >.<

The figma's real?

Totally sweet... notch another toward your 20'000.

predictable but still they were awesome april's fool jokes ^^

Still planning on buying a Mirai figma! Of course!

I think it's neat when an April's Fool ends up becoming real.

There were quite a few good ones this year, here included!

i think i can only afford getting 2 figma @_@

oh and quoting konata "put label limited edition to boost item sales" XD such as.."the release of limited edition 20k units of figma mirai, the upcoming main char mirai manga&anime" somehow i feel that its gonna really work..lol

20,000 seems like a lot. Its like they don't want to go through with manufacturing the figma after all the work and time they've put into it.

I'd be sure to buy at least one. If I have some extra cash around the time this come out, I'd get two.

Good luck, Danny.

Glad that the Mirai products are legit! I figured they were, but you never know this time of year. ^^;

Ha I knew the FAKKU one wasn't real ;o 20,000! Mirai Figmas O.o That's a lot for just one order. Don't worry though I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them all.

AWWWWW.....I really wanted the oppai mousepadd.... lol

Well, you can definitely sign me up for a Mirai figma.

I was hoping I'd get to fondle the Tokyo Dance trooper at my work desk... ._.;

20k is quite a huge number XD I may buy one depending on my mood (and money)

I knew that the Fakku.net and Megatoyko selling Stormtrooper was a Aprils Fool ^^
You did a similar thing last year about buying off Megatokyo haha.
(And the Miracle Mirai Nitro+ thing).

It'll be hard to secure 20,000 orders indeed. Mirai needs something to get her flying out the door! Manga sounds like fun. :)

>_< Wish I can do manga, hard to pick up talent/skill to draw and tone the pages though >_>

While I found Mirai merchandise and Mirai figma not being April Fools joke a good thing, Fakku news being April Fools little bad ^^; It could be an interesting what such a collaboration can bring :)

20,000 is a pretty steep number, but here's hoping!

Mirai Dakimakura...
*drools*

Danny, does this mean that with the possibility of the Mirai figma, that we ordinary folks, if we try hard enough, we could pitch figma prototypes to Max Factory?

I got all of them right. Yeah for me. I remember a friend telling me the French version of April Fool is putting picture of fish on people. I wonder if that's true, because that's really lame.

Of all the April Fool posts, I was the least convinced of the Fakku.net aquisition. Not because of what you said but rather Jacob's words on the page that seem....too obvious, especially the last 2 paragraphs.

As for Figma Mirai, 20k seems a lot but being the top recognised blogger, I don't think this number is a problem. Just start by deducting the 20k by the number of registered members, assuming each of us would want one and also those unregistered one. That alone will sum up to a few k's already. xp

Was fooled by only one of them...it was well executed...looking forward to next year..

The dakimakura was originally meant to be an April Fool's only and now you really are going to produce it? That's hilarious! As is the fact that your wife puts the Mirai dakimakura in her office. XD

20,00 is a lot. Granted, it sounds like a lot of us who frequent the site will buy her, and it's also possible that some people will pick her up just because she's so cute and energetic, but I agree it's probably not going to happen as things are now. It definitely is time to get off your butt and get that anime/manga into production!

heh i got trolled... actually believed the stormtrooper was a real oppai mousepad..

haha.....almost got tricked

I knew ll of em was a trick, but the Fakku one actually made me cry. not because i'll be missing the current sub-team but how much Danny has achieved ^^

i was fooled buy the stormtropper and fakku post. -_-;

Haha Great that I guessed right!
I thought that the Mirai Merchandise makes sense since shell have her own show later on and thatll generate quite a few fans ^^

The Fakku Post was clearly an April Fools Joke to me since you did nearly the same thing last year with MegeTokyo :D
And well the Trooper Oppai Pad looked soo shopped and well it was once again Megatokyo :D

The only one who was able to fool me this year was Mimi...

Curse you Mimi!!! :D

I just thought twice at the Fakku acquisition. Almost got me there.

But truly, the Stormtrooper mousepad was just awesome. One of the best April Fools' jokes I've seen lately lol

And, before I forget, I secure at least one order for Mirai figma!

I actually liked the Trooper mousepad, probably the only oppai mousepad I'd get [apart from the plain ones].

Mirai Figma is looking great too, would love to get one for me x3

oh Damn! XD XD XD
Good one!

Very very awesome. I wanted to believe that Fakku has been taken over though D:
Will totally get the figma even if I haven't been here that long. *been on DC for about 2 months*

20K minimum preorder?!? well, count me in for one!

I might as well be interested in the Dakimakura. As for the figma is concern, direct sale is always good and I reckon I might get one myself, but 20k figma is not a small number. However, I am sure there are more than a few retail stores that would be willing to pick a hundred here and there. Along with the readership currently in dannychoo.com, 20k is fairly achievable.

The Storm Trooper Oppai Mouse is obviously an April Fool's joke. But for a moment I almost believed the Fakku.net Acquisition.

Of course the funnier April Fool Jokes pulled on me bsides my friends' were those from Blizzard. What, Terran-tron. I loled hard.

Hmm so I was partly right! The Mirai products were all April fools jokes but I'm glad to hear that it might actually become a reality, hopefully you can secure those 20k orders Danny. As for Fakku acquisition and the mousepad... man you guys are gullible!

I can imagine Danny taking pics of figma Mirai in all his pics from now on. Poor Kagami! (^o^)

Woo. Securing 20,000 orders will be quite a feat. Maybe not too late to plan a short anime to advertise Mirai products. Komica readers who probably don't know much about Danny's site, actually thought that the prototype is a character from the manga/anime 陰からマモル (kage kara mamoru).

http://www.aniplex.co.jp/kagemamo/chara/yuuna/index.html

Can't blame them. Mirai and Yuuna do look similar if you ask me.

Concerning Fakku! it was the best April Fool I've read this year. I was looking to a few Fools but these were so obviously that it was no fun to read them but I was not able to decide if the Fakku! thing is true or not. Congratulations! :)

I almost went on the trooper oppai mousepad thing. Thank God that I really did come to my senses xD

Can't wait for figma Mirai to be released! ^^

Can't wait for all the Mirai merchandise ^^

The stormtrooper oppai mousepad was hilarious. I think I'd get one for the lulz if one is ever released xD

Oh! A Stormtrooper Oppai mousepad... Definitely new... I see why people want it^^;...

Figma legs have always looked strange to me but, other than that the Mirai figma looks nice, especially the hair and the skirt sections. Messy desk is messy too.

Put me down for a figma Mirai order too!

Haha. I wonder who will order that storm trooper's mousepad.
