The hot summer is coming to an end. With all the excitement of the world-class sporting events that took place during such a summer, that office worker breaks his silence and makes a brilliant appearance!

Furthermore, autumn is the season of new rice! What do you think of snacks made with rice?

Yes, everyone loves "rice crackers!

We also introduce miniatures that can be played with or displayed for a relaxing and soothing experience.

Koppu no Fukuchiko Sports" Kitanklub: 400 yen

The Jeanne d'Arc of the capsule toy world has risen up to enliven the sports industry, which has become the talk of the town!

His name is "Fuchiko! That's right, "Fukuchiko the cup bearer.

It has been 9 years since its release in 2012. She has been leading the capsule toy industry as a front runner. She is the person who has played a leading role in bringing GACHA-GACHA culture, which was previously thought to be only for kids, to adults (especially women). Fuchiko, the one and only Fuchiko, is an important backbone of the current popularity of capsule toys, and she has made a dashing appearance to liven up this summer.

The concept of hooking the toy on the edge of a cup and manga artist Tanakatsuki's pretty touch are still present, but the active expression of an athlete, something she never showed when she was an office worker, shines through in a new way.

Gymnast Fuchiko

With her hair tied up in a bun, Fuchiko has been transformed into a lively figure, and her legs, spread out at 180 degrees, are hooked over the rim of a cup, transforming her into a dynamic pose! The gap between her straight mouth, serious gaze, and the fashionable earrings shining in her ears is a real thrill.

Fuchiko in a broad jump

Fuchiko's leap with her prosthetic leg is vividly expressed. Her dynamic stride with her right hand raised in the air makes us expect great things from her.

Fuchiko playing basketball

Feint attacks by keeping the ball in play. It is clear that this is a commanding presence that reads the flow of the game and watches the opponent's moves. It is easy to imagine her playing a very active role in the future.

Soccer player

The volley shot is cool, just like a scene from "Captain Tsubasa. From a different angle, it looks as if he is making a nice cut at the opponent's ball. It is fun to be able to create various scenes.

Rugby's Fuchiko

It's refreshing to see Fuchiko wearing headgear. She is cute no matter what she does.

Rugby is famous for its rough cross-playing, so I am worried about whether it is really safe or not. I was worried about it. ...... Despite these worries, Fuchiko can handle any sport without a blink of an eye!

Fuchiko, originally an "office worker doll," has been transformed into a wonderful athlete in this series, but her soft expression, unchanged from her usual appearance, is impressive. The gap between the two is sure to soothe many people.

If Fuchiko is next to you when you watch sports on TV, you will enjoy cheering for your favorite athlete even more. Ganbare, Japan! Japan! Best regards, Fuchiko-san! Fuchiko-san!

O-Senbei Maskotto" J-Dream: 5 types, 300 yen

J-Dream, which makes miniatures of everything in sight in no time, has done it again!

Everyone loves it! O-Senbei!

The sound of this is so peaceful! For some reason, it reminds me of my grandma in the countryside. I remember eating rice crackers as hard as a stone, chuckling and forcing them to soften.

In this restless world, you want to relax and have a good time! How about a palm-sized "rice cracker muskotto"?

Play with it! Or just look at it! Try spending some meaningful time in your own way!

● Includes a bottle and 6 soy sauce crackers

A spherical jar with a beret-shaped lid that looks like something you might find at a rice cracker shop in Asakusa. Of course, the lid can be removed. This unique form makes me nostalgic!

The brown rice cracker is less than one centimeter in diameter, and although small, it is amazing that you can't help but think, "I'll eat a piece of this! Shaking the shakashaka is also pleasant, but it also drives me to want to stuff the cracker into a soggy bowl. It's a lot of fun even if you dabble.

● Includes a bottle and 6 nori crackers

You can't miss the standard one with nori. This size is so cute~. I thought to myself, "I wonder if foreigners would like this kind of thing~......," and before I knew it, I was holding up the jar, watching the crackers shaking inside, and smiling to myself.

Includes a basket and 6 sesame crackers

The sesame rice crackers were placed in a beautiful basket with a neatly reproduced woven pattern!

What is amazing about this rice cracker is that the sesame seeds are of various sizes, and the slightly reddish baking color is also well reproduced. Everything is really detailed. I am very impressed.

Includes a basket and 6 nori senbei (dried laver crackers)

The nori senbei are randomly placed in a basket, so you can enjoy one without any fuss.

There are two things I noticed about this item! The luster of the nori is beautiful.

And the air puffs that form when the nori is covered with the rice crackers have been finely reproduced. I am so excited. I was surprised at how much it looks like the real thing!

Hibachi and Chopsticks

This is the point of this series. You can enjoy playing with rice crackers by placing them on the net to bake them. These seemingly meaningless things are actually important.

I hope you will try it, too.

It is quite difficult to pick up a rice cracker with chopsticks and turn it over.

It's hard to believe that Fuchiko's desperation and miniature rice crackers are part of the same capsule toy world. The depth and breadth of this world is so great. It is exciting to see this unfolding in capsule size. You might even enjoy the combination of placing Fuchiko holding a rice cracker on the rim of a brazier: ......?

The world will expand even more!
