Japanese chiptune popstars YMCK will unleash their second blippy effort, "Family Racing", on December 21st in Japan. This should not to be confused with last years "Family Music", which saw stateside release this summer courtesy of Records of the Damned.

The real story here is YMCK's limited edition pixel toy package, part of the .S (dot-s) series from Tomytec. .S collector's will not only be able to recreate the pixelated likenesses of YMCK's Midori, Yokemura, and Nakamura for display alongside their Solvalous and Dig Dugs, but will be treated to an exclusive color (hunter green!). Big, big news for a small, small segment of the population.

Listen to samples of YMCK's brand of 8-bit, sugarsweet vocal music here while waiting patiently for a reputable importer to carry the dot-pin set.
