To mark this year's anniversary, the magazine is giving away a 24-carat, 60-gram (about 2-ounce) gold figure of Lum from Urusei Yatsura. The magazine values the figure at over 200,000 yen (US$2,000). 499 runners-up will get two silver versions, eight bronze ones, and 490 clear ones.

Wow, that would be so cool to have.

OH, I WOULD LOVE THAT FIGURINE! Well, I guess Americans can't enter the contest, since I can't read Japanese :P . Thanks for the link though. That crossover cover looks really cool! Two rival mags doing a cover together - never heard of that before.

Oh. My. God. I don't know what to think about a $2,000, two-ounce figurine. That really is mind-boggling

My Recent Posts · (03/18/08

It would be nice if Rumiko could get her golden Lum just as a thank-you. Did it say how tall the figurine is?

That Lum statue sounds pretty great, but I'm more interested in the Sunday shirts Uniqlo is going to be selling. New ones every week for 53 weeks! Awesome!

2nd row down, last shirt on the right (Hajime no Ippo I think) until the bright green one with the yellow guy on it (Cromartie!) are all the Sunday shirts they have on the site right now.
http://store.uniqlo.com/jp/CSaDisp/setTOPS#39924

I'll have to pop by the store around the corner from me and see if they've got any there! I found a Lum one http://store.uniqlo.com/jp/CSaGoods/160775-12 and a Ranma one http://store.uniqlo.com/jp/CSaGoods/159246-00 so I assume there'll be an Inuyasha one eventually? Pretty neat!

I'm picking up a copy of this issue for Yoiko and Yusaku later and I'm not ashamed to admit I'll be flipping through it! lol

EDIT: Just got a copy and WOW that Lum statue is super super tiny. Like smaller than a gashapon. And has no detail in her eyes so she looks kind of creepy and..... soulless. lol There's a color ad about the shirts, and a blurb from Takahashi talking about her favorite series published in Sunday. There's also a big page about Sunday Super Heroines and Lum's got a big picture there too. Pretty neat!

Here she is.

Ooooooooooo, those shirts are awesome!!!! *emails Hoshi which ones I want* *L*

Edit:

Okay, I'm REALLY exhausted. Harley and I have literally been working all day on this, with translations, editing, tracking down images, etc. But this 50th birthday is too much fun not to get in on, so we had to get Rumic World in on the party.

My Recent Posts · (03/20/08

Wow! That page was so awesome! I loved the images of all the mangaka together. I must say, Takahashi was looking good. It would have been so cool to be there. I can't believe you put together such a thorough page in just a day! That's why you guys rock!

I have to agree with Hoshi Shouri, Lum does look kinda creepy as a statue. - those guys ever hear of pupils?

Cool article you put together! Lum looks like meditating buhda...

Co-opting this topic for more Shonen Sunday 50th anniversary goodies.

We added some more news on an upcoming Sega crane game annnnnnnnnd added some VIDEO footage of Takahashi from this week's press conference. Although one of the hosts hogs most of the footage unfortunately.

My Recent Posts · (03/23/08

That's so cool! I would love to see a subtitled vidio of Takahashi talking along with some of SS's other manga superstars.

My Recent Posts · (03/23/08

Yeah that pages looks really nice! Lots of good information!

For anyone else who's interested in those Uniqlo shirts, I went by mine the other day and picked up the Ranma shirt for Harley and the UY shirt for Dylan (and got me a shirt with Astroboy's sister on it lol) and they're REALLY nice shirts, good thick material, and you actually get a better deal on them if you buy more than one at a time. I don't know if their website ships internationally, but you could check if you can read enough Japanese to navigate the forms. (Or know how to plug them into babelfish. lol) Their site said next week's new shirt would be Mokoto-chan and the week after that is Ashita no Joe, so I guess not every week will be a bunch of new shirts. I hope there's an Inuyasha one at some point. Surely there will be!

My Recent Posts · (03/26/08

I tried to watch the video of the news conference you had on that page, but it said "video no longer available" -- just so you know.

Darn youtube.

Dammit, we've been out of town for job interviews. Thanks tierum. *_*

My Recent Posts · (03/28/08

Job interviews? Coolies! How'd you guys do?

My Recent Posts · (03/30/08

It was fine. I was applying for a job as a geriatric psychologist at a nursing home. They basically offered me the job, and I was going to take it, even though it was a 40-90 patient caseload, with not a lot of benefits, but then the interviewer told me the salary..... It was ridiculously low. So I'm still looking! Yoiko's got an interview lined up with a college in a month or so I think.

My Recent Posts · (03/31/08

I had kinda a bad experience with my recent interview as well. It was a great job, great salary and they told me I was the best candidate for the job. Unfortunately, they told me they were no longer hiring for that position because the property I was going to manage was being sold. "When something else comes up, I hope we can call you. Blah, blah, blah...." So close and yet so far.

Job hunting sucks.

I'm not thrilled with the school I'm at, but its waaaaay better than retail

Once again, good luck guys, and to anyone else doing the job hunting thing.

In many ways that statue is cool and it would be nice to try for, in other ways, what the heck would I do with it???

My Recent Posts · (05/30/08

Some really cool new products have been announced, and we've got the pictures up. Some things we've posted in past weeks, including the new shirts, candies, etc.

Tonight we're showing you the new Sunday/Magazine statues. The schoolgirl set is quite neat. It's Minami from "Touch", Naru from "Love Hina" and (most importantly) Lum from "Urusei Yatsura". A very cool trifecta, since I know we have some Touch and Love Hina fans here.

We also discuss the new Sunday v. Magazine shogi game as well!

My Recent Posts · (05/30/08

I love the Lum one. I wish Naru looked a little more energetic though. Just sitting there like that dosent really fit her personality.

My Recent Posts · (05/30/08

That does fit her since she's in a school environment. Remember how mousey she can get at times, especially when studying or doing anything involving deep thought.

Poor Miname, caught partially dressed
