It's that time of year again: When we promote that wonderfully insane undertaking we call Ninja of the Month! Part subscription, part monthly release, we are maintaining our high level of innovation with this upcoming 2012 series presenting 12 all-new limited edition, handmade Ninjatown plush to new and old fans alike.

What is it?
Shawnimals Ninja of the Month 2011 subscription, featuring 12 new Ninjatown characters and more.
When is it available?
Limited subscriptions will be available starting Monday December 5th 2011 at 10am CST (It's Ninja Day, of course!). Subscriptions are limited to 100 only. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Where can I get it and how much?
Exclusively from Shawnimals online shop at http://shop.shawnimals.com/
US domestic subs: $400, International subs: $450
Previous subscribers: Stay tuned for your special discount!

How does this all work?
As a follow-up to our wildly successful 2011 Ninja of the Month series, we present to you Ninja of the Month 2012! An exclusive club that grants you access to 12 – count ‘em 12 – limited edition (only 100 made), handmade plush Ninjas in all manner of shapes, sizes and colors. There’s four ways to get em:
- Purchase a subscription outright. If you're not a subscriber from last year, then you can get all 12 Ninja of the Month releases, complete with a signed and numbered tag, a poster, certificate and a character sticker and button with each release – not to mention freebies every other month throughout the year based on various Shawnimals and Ninjatown product release – all for $400.
- If you're outside of the US, we have to charge a bit more for the entire year simply because shipping is considerably more per ninja shipped. We are doing the best we can with that price, so you get everything above – all for $450.
- If you're a subscriber from 2010 or 2011, then guess what? You get a discount if you'd like to purchase a subscription for this year! A coupon code to use specifically for a 2012 Ninja of the Month subscription will be emailed to you. This code is non-transferable and is valid only for a subscription should you choose to subscribe for NotM 2012.
- You can also simply do nothing, take your chances, and purchase the Ninja of the Month releases as they are revealed by Ol’ Master Ninja on the first Wednesday of every month at 1pm Chicago time at $30 each plus shipping.
Knowing what you know about what Shawnimals creates, you know these are going to be excessively great. But don't take our word for it – take a look at the round-up for 2011 and 2010, and you can see for yourself.
When you subscribe, we'll send you a plush with a signed and numbered tag, special accessories and a special character button and sticker every month for the entire 2012 year, not to mention the poster, certificate, secret goodies and more! Are you Ninja enough?
Amazing, right? This is nearly $525 worth of stuff for $400 or $450 depending on your location! The catch is you have to pay up front. We know it seems like a lot, but we think it’s well worth it. Don't you? Choose the NotM 2012 shipping option when checking out. Here’s how the sub breaks down in detail...

What else should I know?
When you check out, you'll see a special shipping option that says NotM special shipping. Choose this, as it will not charge you anything additional for your subscription. Finally, since this subscription is discounted, no coupon codes or other offers can be used (except for the previous subscriber incentive listed above).
I'm still not convinced. What did subscribers get last year?
Behold! The Ninja of the Month 2010 and 2011 hauls...

Please note: The international price is higher due to the increased cost of shipping to such destinations. The total amount is still discounted by nearly $75 USD.
