Just sent for mine! No WAY will I miss THIS!! My total self-indulgent treat!
I also linked to the website from my Facebook page and did a review. Here it is! It's a bit scattershot... but then... these are Nekomimis we're talking about!
I'm hoping David Gerrold will read it. Here's the review under my FB name.

Yep, I'm shilling for the MADh Vinyl calendar. Why? Well, for those not acquainted with MADh Vinyl, it's a "webcomic" (actually it's photography not cartoons but.....) that is a bit different than the usual run of the mill adventure.
"MADh" is composed of the initials of: Miyuki, Anna-Marie, Diamond and Hyacinth, four (in real life) Obitsu 1/3 scale Obitsu ball-jointed dolls. Well, those are the "actresses" portraying the girls. Well... not girls exactly... Anna-Marie, Hyacinth and Miyuki are NekoMimi. Japanese inspired cat-girls. Diamond is an Elven enchantress charged with taking care of them.
NekoMimi? Oh the storyline goes FAR beyond mere catgirls! To wit: Other characters include Robbie, a zombie (played by an Obitsu male ball-jointed doll or BJD) Hazel, a fairy princess, two doctors (played by actual humans!) who are medical researchers *experimenting* on nekomimis, the 'N' sisters who are an embodied computer virus, now attending school as a Nekomimi girl, and a gigantic spider made up of bits of computer code. That's just a tiny tiny sampling of the characters.
The plotline involves Star Trek, pink bunny outfits, baseball, vampires, Star Wars, high explosives, medical research, cheerleaders, computerized espionage, fairy realms, motorcycles, gunfire, animal experimentation, field-trips and bubble-baths in the middle of the day.
Photographed in Chicago, aboard the USS Enterprise, California, the fairy world of Feist the Caribbean, Tokyo, Fairyland, Georgia and inside the electronic gizzards of several computers. No REALLY!
