Sony unleashes Toro mascot figurine upon the world

Are you looking for something to put next to your alarm clock, MP3 charge station, PS3, or other eclectic figurine collections? Perhaps Sony's new Japanese mascot, Toro, will fit nicely amongst your other strange goods from the land of the rising sun. Toro's friends are also available for your collecting urges.

If you've ever ventured onto the Japanese PS Store, you've probably seen this cat in a bunch of different places. It was the first game to feature customizable soundtracks, if we remember correctly. Anyway, the figure comes with detachable faces that can represent how you feel that day. Or how you wish you felt. Enjoy!

They should make a worldwide mascot so Mario and Sonic can have someone to battle in our fantasies.

toro (bull)? thats, creative, i think. damn sony. i think the ps3 and lots of other things you guys have are really good but this... just gives the xbox lovers, sony haters a new weapon to use against us...

It has been around since 1999.

toro means expression in japanese

I can see that thing making creepy noises late at night. I think i will stay away from it.

WTF is this old news? Toro figurines like that have been around since 1-3 yrs ago! Heck I imported mine off Hlj.com =P

I "played" that "game" off of the Japanese PSN a while back ... seeing as I don't read Japanese ... it was an interesting experience to say the least.

Mainichi Issyo is the name of that game. It's fun trying to play around with even if you can't read Kanji. I just figured out how to put my furniture in my front yard.
