• Two great Okami convention collectibles coming soon

  

  There are not one but two brilliant Okami-related items in this post, and we tossed and turned all last night about which one we should put pre-break, and which one we should put after. In the end, we flipped a coin, and this amazing Okami polystone statue won. It features a terrific sculpture of everyone's favorite Shinto deity, Amaterasu, and will be available starting at the 2010 International Tokyo Toy Show for 15,540 yen. That's about US$176, so it's not cheap -- but at about 8" across and about 5" tall, it's a nice chunk of sculpted form.

   

  We're still not sure we made the right decision though -- the second piece of collectible Okami gear will be found at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, and also after the break.

  

   

  

  See what we mean? In terms of artistic craft, sure, the statue wins, but in terms of sheer Internet meme-style awesomeness? This Three Okami T-shirt is drawn by artist Gerald de Jesus and produced by Iam8bit, and will be raffled off by Capcom at next week's big convention in San Diego.
