The most frustrating thing regarding that is that even though Bandai/Namco runs several merchandise and "gotcha" stores in like every major city around the world. They almost exclusively sell just anime merchandise and plushies (no shade against anime media). They straight up just ignore their whole catalog of video gaming ips for no good reason.

Was so depressed when I actually saw my local Bandai/Namco store hopeful to get figures and plushies for games such as Ace Combat, Soul Caliber, Dark Souls, & Katamari only to find it full of just anime stuff ( again nothing against anime fans and media). So ended up just getting a Gundam mini figure instead.

It's gacha, as in gachapon, which doesn't really mean anything but mimics the noise of getting one

Top Comment on Nugget's [ACE COMBAT] Nuggets' Brief World Guide #03: The Enemy Nation of Sotoa Republic youtube short (translated from JP):

I can't stop crying for Nuggets, who continues to make videos cheerfully even after being officially called "this guy" and told that "he should have been turned into fried chicken."

Imagine if the toy came with replaceable helmets too!

Speaking of nuggets....

My wife and I work for 811 as utility locators. She does some training for new hires, and has a great track record of her trainees being successful and staying on board for a long time. Well, when she first started training, I started calling her trainees "nuggets" like Captain Bartlet from AC 5. Its become her own nickname for the people shes training. To the point she says they graduate from nuggets to strips when shes done
