Unazukin

Q: Am I the fairest of
them all?

Experts reckon modern living affects your ability to make decisions. And they might be right - we can't decide. The point is we're always having to choose between yes, no and maybe. Annoying, yes?

Thankfully our good friends in Japan have created Unazukins - impossibly cute little collectable dolls that help you make decisions by responding to your questions with a nod or shake of the head.

Simply ask a question ("Am I staggeringly attractive/Is Hedgehunter going to place in the Kentucky Derby?/Does my butt look big in this?") and Unazukins will answer with a yes (one nod), a definite yes (two nods), a no (one head shake), or a definite no (double head shake).

Unazukin

Q: Do you know the way
to Amarillo?

Looking like Russian dolls with a cartoony twist, Unazukins are said to be wise fairies that live under big mushrooms in the woods (glass of whatever the makers are drinking, please). Questionable mythology aside, these pocket-sized sages make ideal desktop companions ("Shall I embezzle the company for $100 billion?") and pretty nifty pencil case pals ("Do I look silly talking to you during my final PhD exam?").

If you're reading this and wondering whether Unazukins are going to be the next big thing, the answer is an emphatic yes. These grinning yes/no dolls are already huge in trendsetting Japan. And because Unazukins are randomly packed you never know which one you're going to get, so collecting them is half the fun.

Whether you're using your Unazukin to predict football results, settle a bet, decide whose round it is, or simply adorn your desk, we guarantee you'll be unable to resist popping a question every time you clap eyes on that adorable little face. The only question left is this: do you want to be part of the Unazukin phenomenon? Double nod? We'll take that as a yes!

press review In the land of kawaii (cute), a Magic Eight Ball just isn’t trustworthy enough. Teens in Japan turn to a seizure-prone figurine for help with life’s biggest decisions.

visitor avatar I looooove my dear Unazukin so. I only wish I could have smuggled her into my GCSE's... Just kidding, but she really does help me out. Great delivery firebox and thanks for the sweets! :D.

visitor avatar I love my Unazukin! Unfortunately, mine was involved in a freak accident at work where she (mini Toni) landed in a glass of water...luckily she only bobbed around for a few seconds and made a full recovery! She is thankfully still able to make executive decisions!
Caroline Watling, Norwich - Oct '07
visitor avatar I remember seeing an advert for these on TV, just the once. Never saw it again. I never thought they would reach the mainstream, but I spotted them in a Woolworths over a year ago (Please forgive me firebox for betraying you!! It was before you stocked them) and had to buy one!! My little Zuki-chan has made some tough decisions for me! As has my trusty 8 ball!! Once again, loving the adorable Japanese products!!!

Firebox says: We forgive you!

visitor avatar So that's what these things are!?! We bought one on a recent trip to Tokyo and couldn't figure out what the hell they were. Thank you Firebox. Our quest for answers is finally at an end. All is well with the world. Now, what should I ask my Unazukin? DAMN! That's another question. We'll have to start another quest to find the answers to that one too. Argh!
The Figurative Pineapple, London - May '07
visitor avatar How cute are these!!! I have strangely and very worringly found myself talking to her as if she is a human. Buy one and see what I'm talking about!!! Either that or send the men in white coats round to me fast!!!

Firebox says: Men in white coats on their way ;)

visitor avatar I think my family is worried I've been talking to myself a lot more recently... good ol' Unazukin!
Larwick, Bristol, UK - Jul '07
visitor avatar If you're looking for a more definitive answer than an 8-ball, get one of these! There's no 'in due course' rubbish here! A great interactive gadget for all russian doll fans too.
Stephanie, Hampshire - Apr '07
visitor avatar Thank you firebox, I'm SO impressed! Ordered fri pm, delivered sat am!!! This unazukin is soooo cute, I'm usually very undecisive. It's great that I have her to help me make decisions, even the most trivial ones. Do I love my zukin dolly? ...nod nod, definitely YES.
Lindy, Harrogate - Feb '07
visitor avatar Bought all my friends one of these for Christmas, everyone's hooked! I enter the room to find them talking to them which is slightly weird. They seem to know the answer to everything!! And... they help with very important decision such as, should I do the washing up? *double shake* aaah that's the answer I was looking for.
Michelle, Birmingham - Jan '07

My two Unazukin just arrived and I wanted to see what they thought of the new Editors album so I set them to work.
