Manekineko and Kagamiwari! Let's celebrate the New Year with a festive gacha! Wacky Kaizan's latest gacha exploration, Part 12

We look forward to working with you this year. In 2018, we will continue to explore the latest gachagachas, brought to you by capsule toy concierge Wacky Kaizan.

No.23 Capsule Japon Maneki Neko Bandai 300 yen

For my first introduction of the year, I will send you two lucky charms in a row. First, this one!

The cat figurine with its right hand raised in the air with a healthy face is very popular in folk crafts. The capsule toy industry has also produced many beckoning cats so far. Personally, I like the "Manekineko Voice Recorder," a unique gacha that can record when you press the koban it is holding.

The "Capsule Japon Maneki Neko" was made by Bandai, which is interesting. Bandai is a manufacturer that often produces character goods, but this Manekineko is big and heavy, and has a toughness similar to that of a mobile suit.

First, insert 300 yen and turn the handle, and the lower half of the cat's body comes out. The feeling of the "lower half" as it is is quite occult ....... If it were a small child, it might make you cry. From its impact, it is hard to believe that a cute beckoning cat can be completed.

When you open the package, parts come out from inside. After assembling the neck, attaching the ears, hands, and finally the koban, a full-fledged beckoning cat with a 12 cm long, 8 cm wide, and round hunchback is completed. It would make a great souvenir for overseas customers.

The fact that the lower half of the body itself is made into a capsule is a testament to the limits of size that can be achieved with gacha. The colors are warm, the straight eyes and the shading in the eyes are delicate. The fine-tuned whiskers and golden bells are exquisite. The plastic modeling is also excellent, giving the figure a softness!

There are a total of five types of this product, so let's check them out one by one.

White Cat" - The pure white base and vermilion coloring of the ears and bell string looks like it will bring good luck. It is holding a koban of 10,000,000 ryo.

The koban part of the "Red Cat" is "for prevention of illness and good fortune. The bright red body is quite a novel style of beckoning cat.

The "Black Cat" has the message of "good luck and good fortune". The eyeshadow is blue, which is very oriental. The coloring of the cat's eyes is very oriental, and the coloring of the cat's eyes is very special.

Sakura Cat. Pink is the color of love! The koban is engraved with the words, "Love will be fulfilled. The coloring of the koban makes it the most Instagram-worthy.

Green cat. Is this the most novel color? For a moment, I thought it was a kappa or frog figurine! I thought it was a kappa or frog figurine. For some reason, it is holding a koban, which means "prayer for success. Is it because the color is easy on the eyes? Is it the color of a guide for study fatigue?

By the way, if you put these together, it might look like a sentai hero ......? Haha~. As expected of Bandai! Let's have them bring us good luck with our imaginations.
