Spice and Wolf II Puppet Theater
It seems that in order to promote the upcoming Spice and Wolf II Flying Dog recruited Ami Koshimizu and Iun Fukuyama , the seiyuu of their respected puppets, play with the Horo and Lawrence hand puppets that I posted about back in May. As a promotional tool I know this video is going to be a huge success. It definitely gets the basic factors of the show, Horo beats on Lawrence and loves apples, down to an easy to understand slapstick joke. You don’t even need to understand Japanese to get the premise! Also, the adorable insert at the end with Horo and Lawrence just makes me melt. I can’t wait for the second season to start!

Horo and Taiga figures!
One of the most important aspect about being an Otaku is the figure collection. If you don’t have an impressive collection of colored molded plastic. Here are two upcoming overpriced figures that will (hopefully) soon adorn my shelf. Both of these figures are going to be priced at $75.
Taiga, from the Fall season show Toradora, stands confident in her school uniform holding her Bokken.
Horo sits on the side of Lawrence’s wagon enjoying her favorite food.

Spice and Wolf Horo hand puppet will eat all your apples
On the heels of the announcement of Spice and Wolf season 2 AnimeNewsNetwork has announced the release of an adorable Horo hand puppet. The puppet of the Wolf-girl goddess will go on sale in August, or just about a month after the start of the second season of the anime based on Isuna Hasekura and Ju Ayakura’s light novels. It stands about fourteen inches tall, will feature a tale and interchangable eyes along with Horo’s favorite food: an apple. A second hand 
puppet was made of the male protagonist, Lawrence, but will not be massed produced. Perhaps the fact that Lawrence is not a cute youn
g girl with fox ears and a tail factored into his presumed unpopularity. Get your credit cards ready American readers because I doubt we will get a chance at these puppets unless we import from the Land of the Rising sun. The price was not mentioned.
