Anizo 100% Reality Mind
“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. 
The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.”Anizo and I, we’re inseparable.
Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Maybe you could get a Anizo franchise. :D
Forum thread on anizo
I got the one that says "Swot". (it has megane written with hiragana on it) Unlike the others, it doesn't have a picture on its back, but its face differs from the others a bit. It's the same lovely smile, but with glasses with spirals on it, making uh.. Him(? not sure) look kinda funny. :D
The text on it kinda fits my personality, I'm carrying it everywhere with me now x)
I found the gashapon thingy in a movie theather (I live in Finland so I dunno if those can be found in US :/) with anizos, hello kitty gashapons and others. The gashapon costed 2€
So it was some sort of machine, but I think they look a bit different in the original country they came form. Dunno, never been in Japan yet, because 1) I must learn more Japanese! 2) The city is so big, and there's so many people.. Hard to navigate!
I Googled my little yellow guy and discovered that he is all about Sadness or Depression or something. Perhaps the illustration on his backside means "feeling squeezed"?
The gray one is what mine looks like. The page doesn't tell much about the anizo itself, so the only thing I know about it is that it says swot or teacher's pet.
There are actually two saying the same text, but the other one looks a bit different. Both have glasses. I've found no further explanations for them so I dunno much about neither mine or your anizo.
Hmm.. Some of these are just funny! "Chicken" with a exit mark on its back, "hopeless" with red X on its head.. The list goes on..
As for series 1, I have the grey swirly glasses guy and the thermometer dude. :D
In total, I only have 5 left b/c I gave one to my mom and another to my girlfriend.
i googled it, but i don't know what mine says. it says, tomodachi domari but i don't really know what that's mean. haha. i got the pink one, and it had a woman symbol. i think i got the female one. haha
i bought it in a bookstore in indonesia. mine cost about $1.5.
but i really want to know what it says about me. i'll gonna buy some more!
This website (http://www.jp41.com/kanji/domari.html) suggest that "domari" could me "stop" or "halt".
So... To stop or end a friendship? That may be assuming too much.
