Found this over at randomurl.

Looks like it comes out in November, and will cost ¥5,000 (around $45).

I think I'd buy an iPod just so I could use this.

 

[Fusebox]

That looks ace, I want one too.

 

[yoshifumi]

damn that is pretty kickass

Kubric...like Stanley? :\

Kubric...like Stanley? :\

No. There's a toy company in Japan called "Kubrick," they make LEGO-ish looking figures.

Actually, I forgot the "k". It's Kubrick.

They're a line of Japanese Lego-type collectable figures by MediaCom. There's everything from Star Wars to Evangelion to Planet of the Apes Kubricks. The Metal Gear Solid ones are cool:

There's also a line of "Bearbricks"... They're like the Kubrics, but look like bears. There was a cool Kill Bill Bearbrick that came in the Japanese Kill Bill DVD box set:

Edit: xsarien beat me to it...

That lego-man ipod holder rocks!

 

[Mejilan]

I need that for my iPod.

See my avatar.

 

[Zaptruder]

I've never quite understood the appeal of kubricks... but I understand the appeal of this thing.

I want one

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Very nice, if I had an iPod I'd buy that

 

[Smiles and Cries]

sooo cute

 

[Meier]

That is just about the coolest thing ever.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

I wish it had some kind of dock on it.... :/

other than that, though, it's unfuckingbelievably fly

 

[Memles]

Wow...those are totally awesome.

I'd say more, but I feel like a follower already, and any more praise would only make me feel worse.

wait it doesn't have a dock? ok nevermind now it's not as cool as when i just assumed it did

 

[Fusebox]

It looks like they've left room for the dock connector at least.

 

[Mejilan]

Dude, that's an obvious REPLACEMENT for the dock. You can still plug the synch/charge cord through the bottom.

 

[Fusebox]

But wouldnt it be cool if the dock connector were inbuilt and he had a line-out in his ass?

 

[Mejilan]

I never really understood the point of the dock's line out. Why not just use the headphone jack on the iPod itself?

 

[Fusebox]

Because if you're using a hi-fi or headphone amp the sound quality is FAR better than through the iPods weak headphone output.

In fact, amping the iPods line-out through my Meta42 headphone amp is the only way I can make it sound as good as my old Zen NX.

That makes sense. I use it exclusively with headphones.

Sigh... no chance of this being sold here in the States, right?

The kitchen I worked in this summer had a really nice stereo setup that allowed a CD player, boombox, whatever to be plugged into it. I plugged the dock into the wall and the and the stereo into the dock. It works a lot better than having a fairly weighty cord pulling down from the top of the iPod. And it looks better.
