Are you a fan of Nintendo’s Kirby games? Well how would you like a fan of Kirby, then? Your wish is my command. Actually, I had nothing to do with it. This Kirby of the Stars desk fan is the brainchild of SK Japan.
The fan really does look like Kirby, with his mouth agape and ready to blow a cool breeze of air on you while you slave away at your desk. The bubbly looking pink fan measures 6.29″ in diameter, and runs on USB power.

Apparently, it isn’t the first time that a Kirby fan was released – last year, SEGA attempted to release a version, but they neglected to cover the fan blades, so Kirby could easily chew up your fingers. This new version has a cover over the blades to protect your digits from being eaten by the notoriously hungry pink blob.
