'Chibi' is a common variation to do to things from people characters to vehicles in Japan. It literally translates to 'Short Person' or 'small child', depending on the context that it's used in. A 'cute' theme in modeling hasn't really caught on in the west -yet.

Yes, many of these kits do come with etch. My kids like the look of these. I would feel a lot better getting them one of these ships than the anime girl version.

I agree, Russ. I too feel better about these than those anime girl things. The Chibi-Maru series are cute but without the slightly creepy adult-child vibe of anime.
