Product type: Joke Item
A truly legendary item is here! The Japanese negi (leek) became an icon of Japanesae animation after the character Orihime from Bleach was made to spin one in a hypnotic Flash animation known as "leekspin" which shows Orihime (also known as "Loituma Girl" , after the Finnish band whose song Levan Polka accompanies her spinning) happily twirling a leek in her hand over, and over, and over... More recently, the introduction of virtual singing Vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku has re popularized the leekspin with new versions of the Ievan Polka song emerging, along with a "chibi" Miku shaking that leek for all it's worth! Clearly an item of monumental importance, the leek was only available in vegetable form - until now.
This leek replica faithfully reproduces the stylized appearance of the leeks seen in both Orihime and Miku videos, and is made of a soft, pliant plastic that can be squeezed only to reform into its patented leek shape moments later. Most importantly, the thing can SPIN! The leek is approx. 12 inches (30 cm) long out of the package, but can be stretched or compressed, bent, folded, and spun in a variety of entertaining ways while returning to its original dimensions shortly after. Picture a leek-shaped "stress ball" and you have the idea - this is the perfect item to reproduce and commemorate your favorite Leekspin and Miku moments, as well as a great stress reliever or even a wrist cushion for typing - the possibilities are limitless! From Bloom Corporation.
