Sage for combo fag.

I also noticed Domo-kun all over 7-11. What manner of marketing is this? Why are they selling Domo-kun plushies dressed like devils? How did this come to pass?

Yeah, at mine also.
There were no plushies though.

No idea. I noticed it's on everything but the only real merchandise is like Domo Slurpee cups.

You mean the asshole cashiers let you take pictures in the shop?

>>3509167

I didn't care either way. It was just too bizarre to not take a picture of.

I was thinking about picking up some coffee on the way to work and I saw they had Domo cups. So then I definitely picked it up.

Anyway, it's some bizarre tie-in with the manga coming out which is apparently a big enough deal to get a marketing thing with 7-11.

I saw this at my neighborhood 7-11 too. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

I can't wait to hear how cute 7-11's new mascot is.

Sears is selling Domo stuff, too.

>>3509193

I wonder if it really is a new mascot or just some obscure tie in marketing.

My 7-11 says
"Buy a brownie now before Domo eats them all!"
What the fuck's going on with the world

Why not, it's Domo.

>>3509203

Wow, I didn't see that. I noticed it was all over though. Cups, cookies, hot dogs.

>>3509213
Why not? It's Domo.

Target used Domo for Halloween marketing last year(?) too.

>>3509200
You missed my sarcasm (which is easy to do, internet and all). I'm annoyed that all the normal people are going to see him as 7-11's mascot, not NHK's. You know, that vague, directionless "I knew about this for years, now everyone does" kind of resentment that makes fans of indie music so unbearable.

I'm really not sure why I care.

7-11 is a Japanese company.

>>3509218
Don't worry about those people, you can still continue to be elitist with us on /jp/.

>>3509220

No it is a American company you fucking retarded weeaboo.

>>3509221
Should I get a tripcode?

It's been a while, Domo-kun.

>>3509237
7-11 is owned by a Japanese company.
>>3509238
Sure, there are never enough tripcodes.

>In 2006 Nickelodeon announced that it was to develop 26 two-minute shorts of Domo-kun for broadcast in the United States.[1][2] In December 2007 ICv2 announced that Nickelodeon would begin airing the shorts in early 2008.[3]

>Target used the character as the theme of its 2008 Halloween promotions.[4] This included a number of Halloween-themed products, such as candy and toys. An original animation was created for Target, available on its website.

>7-Eleven stores used the character in a promotion beginning October 1, 2009.[5][6]

How interesting. It seems that 7-11's parent company at one point only managed the Japanese 7-11s, but purchased 7-11 Inc. two months later. Those wily japaneses.

There are more than 1,500 7-11s in Tokyo.

Slowpoke.
They're trying to attract the weeaboo demographic. Seriously, that's it.
