Space Invaders Pillow

Not content with allowing Nintendo to be the only company to squeeze the life out it’s classics, Tatio is joining in with of all things a set of pillows.

These pillows are part of the 30th Anniversary of Space Invaders and Taito’s been celebrating the historic event with numerous merchandise offers, the latest being these pillows. While these pillows are awesome I can’t help but think they’re lacking a duvet to accompany them, they feel like only half of a product. The cynic in me suspects that will arrive later.

The pillows are coloured black and decorated with pixel images of Space Invaders in a shade of drab yellow and drab gray. There’s a reason why the pillows are coloured black – they provide the perfect contrast for the Space Invaders designs which glow in the dark when the lights are low. Two styles are in stock and shipping today as follows:
(A) Two large Space Invaders (Top Pillow)
(B) Space Invaders logo with rows of invaders (Bottom Pillow)

Each pillow measures 53cm (20.86″) in length and 33cm (13″) in width which is larger than Taito’s original measurements when they started accepting preorders. The pillows are big enough to accommodate human heads, pets, and assorted wide loads.
