Hideyoshi Goods Threaten Confusion

An assortment of Baka to Test merchandise, mostly featuring the deceptively alluring young Hideyoshi, is becoming available, firmly demonstrating the booming popularity of a character of uncertain gender in a skirt.
Be warned in advance that none of the links given below lead to any store that offers international shipping.
These two snapshots of Akiba otaku shops from Akiba@OS show several of the new Baka to Test goodies:
The red sign simply states “New Goods Corner.”
Note what seems to be To Aru Kagaku pillowcases, and a Sora no Woto mug.
Likely the most amusing product, the above tee (official website) asks a complicated question:
GENDER?
- Male
- Female
- Hideyoshi
The shirt runs to ¥2,900 (over $30 USD), a normal price for these types of shirts but perhaps pricey to many.
Still, it would make for an excellent mark of trap-loving pride for the year’s upcoming convention season!
A closer look at the image of Hideyoshi:
For otaku who would rather keep a strict female-only diet, this cushion cover of Mizuki Himeji might be interesting:
A Mizuki T-shirt.
There’s also a tee of Kraut tsundere Minami Shimada.
Getting back to Baka to Test’s main attraction of feminine ambiguity…
Mugs are a staple of character goods, and this design looks as good as any.
The cap fitted over the mug is a sort of lid that comes included.
Akiba@OS also pointed out a prototype Hideyoshi figure due sometime next month from small figure circle Go to Garage!!:
One would hope this prototype receives some more work on the face (particularly on the eyes and eyebrows) before coming out, but the rest of Hideyoshi looks nominally good.
A surprise under the skirt?
Plushies, a decent enough cheap alternative to figures if one is desperate enough.
For those with deeper wallets however, the obvious Baka to Test merchandise has to be the lovely dakimakura pair from Nijigen Cospa:
The very nice, and appealingly busty, Mizuki dakimakura.
The previously announced Hideyoshi dakimakura.
Both makura go for about a hefty ¥9,000, but as international buyers would need to make use of proxies or auction sites to get their hands on the goods here, the real price will be even higher for many.
Domestic buyers can visit Nijigen Cospa’s webstore.

Argh, I'd really like a Minami one
F*ck Hideyoshi, I want this pillow with Misaka from Railgun (@3rd pic)
Is that officially a boy? For all we know he/she/it could be intersexual.
HAHA
i love the episode where hideyoshi gets his own bathroom :P
Why the confusion? Just go after his twin sister. o_0
I would get that Railgun pillow.
Der Teil wie die Mauer
Wtf, that doesn't make any sense.
Japan, you can't just take a dictionary and put random words together...
Have nott seen Baka to Test but Hideyoshi does look cute. But i still perfer Jun.
Admit it. You would gladly have a buttsex with hideyoshi if been offered.
Gladly without any second thought.
HIDEYOSHI FTW!!
IN THIS NEW CENTURY, BISHONEN SHALL BE CALLED 'HIDEYOSHI'!!!!!!
Too little of Shimada Minami. I have been and am disappointed.
wut?
Woah already licensed on animeSuki, only group I could find who did this was GG, one on neko
got the GG. translations are a bit off but funnier compared to the other group.
LOL, that t shirt rocks XD
If I was gay and he was more manly I would, but since we're neither I still would.
If you were truly straight, you wouldn't.
IS THAT A MALE? NO! IS THAT A FEMALE? NO!
ITS HIDEYOSHI!!!
Where is my manly Yuuji products!?
Spoiler: Hideyoshi is a boy.
He's not a boy, he's a Hideyoshi.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
That Crossdressing and Trap
tags couldn't have given it away...
I'm a strait guy, but I love Hideyoshi.
Me too.
What does the German text on Minami's shirt say?
I didn't give a translation since I don't speak German, and electronic translations just gave random gibberish.
Perhaps a friendly German speaker will come along soon?

21:51 09/04/2010 - PenguinGuard: "Der Teil wie die Mauer>>The part like the wall."
Quen the psychic?
Perhaps a gift bestowed upon me by the otaku gods?
The part like a wall
Its an oblique reference to her german heritage and lack of any bust
Saying that, won't even a half-german have at least some boobs? Germans do by-and-large have rather generous bosoms....
Well not every German girl has them it differs on the person like everywhere else.
But Shimada didn't really act in a way I would discribe as german and she hardly spoke any german sentences but that's nothing new in an Anime.
Do you think Oktoberfest==German ? Well I don't know many people who celebrate it.
That's only a festival for tourists and those employes you are talking about are only to attract customers.>_<
Germans seems to have an innate gene for bustiness though;just look at those Oktoberfest meidos....
Especially when compared to the average Japanese chick. Speaking of which, half-Japanese half-European chicks are hot. Why wasn't everyone in the anime all over the German chick?
Wait... she was a he?
Welcome :)
I assumed you've lived in the well for a long time :)
You forgot to mention his latest dakimakura http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114413
I like this was better than the first one; Getto!
Minami dakimakura is superior
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114414
Thanks, Halotoo.
I was only aware of the two I put into the post since those were the ones Akiba@OS mentioned and I had completely forgotten that Hobby Shop might be carrying Baka to Test dakimakura.
Happy to help + keep up the good work ^_^
Der Teil wie die Mauer>>The part like the wall.
I am German and I understand the words but it's a creepy translation not a single German would use those words like that.>_<
I didn't even understand what they want so say with that sentence until I read the comments here. You just shouldn't use a foreign language when you've never learned it. Seems like they just used a translation program for that. The most common term would be "Flach wie ein Brett", flat like a board.
It's germanese?
At least they didn't have too much trouble with the gender on that one.
Thank you, PG!
I had guessed it was likely just gibberish, so I simply skipped mentioning it in the post.
I can orgasm when I wear that t-shirt.:P
WHAT ¥9,000?!
That would be the standard price if not more, for pretty much all new dakimura.
the material is superb though, if that's a consolation
I'LL BUY THEM!
EVEN IF I HAVE TO EAT 1/64TH OF CUP NOODLE EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I'LL GET THEM!
I swear there's not going back after you buy one; slickest most awesome pillow you'll have.
I see what you did there.
ah, to be exact, its actually slightly over ¥9000!
