The result of trying the Hokkaido Souvenir Gacha -> amazing craftsmanship quality!
Capsule toys are now evolving not only as toys for children, but also as products for adults. Some are elaborately made with a sense of "serious playfulness" by the creators, while others are maniacal products that exquisitely hit the secret niche of the "collector's soul" from a niche perspective. The pricing is also appealing, making it easy to turn them around when you find them while you are waiting for a moment.
Today, I came here with a handful of 100 yen coins to spin the capsule toys I was interested in.
#C-pla Aeon Catepli Shin Sapporo
An impressive array of about 700 units (from the official website)
Just looking at the stacked and lined capsule toy stands on the wall, my heart is already racing. And here is my challenge today!
Don! Miniature Hokkaido
These capsule toys are miniature-sized versions of famous Hokkaido sweets and other items! According to the official #C-pla website, this is a product called "Miniature Hokkaido" (TOSHIN Co., Ltd.), which went on sale on October 1, 2021. Carefully selected Hokkaido confections and specialty products that even Hokkaido residents can appreciate have been elaborately reproduced. All of them are popular souvenirs chosen by tourists.
Let's take a spin!
Ready to exchange money?
Insert 100 yen coins
Rattle the handle...
koron !!!
Kita ---- -tttt!!!!
A yellow-green sphere reminiscent of marimo yokan (sweet bean jelly) emerged! Are capsules of today's style where the contents are invisible?
The three characters of Hokkaido are assertive
I will do the opening ceremony after I get home.
Overwhelming presence
After gargling and washing my hands and taking a deep breath, I'll open it up then!
Poof...ta-da!
This is "White Black Thunder"! Putting aside the question of whether the product name is white or black... this is a Hokkaido-only version of Black Thunder, which has been on sale since 2011!
The packaging is exactly the same as the original
The contents are also included
I love the fact that it comes in a pack of 12 bags with an outer box. I'm sure she bought them on a trip to find individually wrapped souvenirs to give away to her co-workers, and my imagination is spreading. The fact that they also show us a cross-section of the contents is surreal.
Turn it over
The notation and barcode on the back are just as real as this. You can admire the realism, buy and eat the real thing, or casually attach it to your bag or pouch and enjoy it. It would be a great mmmmmm pleasure to have someone shove it in your face at that time.
Take a look at the other faces
"Koap Garana", a taste of Hokkaido
"Anbatasan" made famous by the morning drama and Yubari's specialty product, Yubari Melon
Ahhh, that one! You'll want to do it until you've completed all six. You want to keep playing with the capsule toys until you get your fill. This is probably one of the things I want to do when I grow up! (Is it just me?) (Am I the only one?) But, I don't want to get stuck in a loop, so my hands get really hot turning the handles.
If you see one, why don't you enjoy the excitement of "capsule toys" just as you did back then?
