Professor Layton & the AWESOME FuruFuru Figure

I love me some Professor Layton. My friends look at me funny whenever they see me going at Prof's puzzles. I guess I'm just a sucker for a good puzzle. Anyhoo, that's why I'm posting this more than awesome action figure of Proffessor Hershel Layton himself.

The FuruFuru figure stands 13cm and features a bobbing head. It sells at around $28 and is shipping on January 2010. Oh, and there's a Luke figure too.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box Trailer

OMG! It's really coming! I've been waiting for the second Professor Layton game since... well since I finished Professor Layton and the Curious Village! Here's the trailer for Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box!



The Professor Layton series for the DS is a puzzle video game where players have to solve puzzles to move the story along. It sounds boring when I write it but those who've played it knows what a gem this game is. There are currently three games in the series and there's three more to come in 2010.

Professor Layton: The First Movie

It is bound to happen, as with many lovable games and characters throughout gaming history. Professor Layton (of the Professor Layton DS games) will get a feature anime film that will hopefully be out in early 2010.

Professor Layton: The First Movie will follow the usual adventures of Professor Layton and his assistant Luke, as they solve mystery after mystery. The film will be produced by Japanese studio TOHO and the new story will come directly from Level 5 president Akihiro Hino.

Level 5 is getting quite busy, and beloved for that matter. Their upcoming collaboration with Studio Ghibli, Ninokuni: The Another World, is a sure hit.
