This month, we're going to introduce two capsule toys that will give you the creeps during the hot season! This month, we introduce the capsule toys "Gyoza" and "Hell's Gate"! Wacky Kaizan's latest Gacha exploration No. 65

The year 2022 is quickly approaching the turn of the year! It's time to start thinking about the year-end Most Valuable Capsuletoy (MVC).

Looking back on the first half of the year, I see that capsule toys have had more opportunities to be featured in the media than ever before. I wonder if that's how much they are gaining citizenship.

With more than 300 titles being released every month, it's hard work just to gather information. But I love capsule toys, so it's not hard at all!

Now, are the two products introduced here both frightening items? Or fancy, depending on how you look at it?

I'll let you all be the judge! Let's start the review!

Gyoza mascot figure - 300 yen Qualia - 5 kinds in total

Speaking of Qualia, their "Neko no Penoki" was a big hit! The hands and the waist that she is trying her best to hold up are so cute and healthy, it's irresistibly adorable. Recently, products with a catchy world view, such as "Momotaro," a fairy tale, and figures of Boya and his daughter from "Pentel," have also become popular.

Qualia's new item is a gyoza (dumpling) figurine with the impressive copy, "Sitting and waiting until you bring it to your mouth! What? Not "dumplings" but "gyoza"?　What does that mean? Oh, the dumplings are sitting down. I forced myself to convince myself to go to .......

It is on the frying pan that they sit. So, not only the skin of the dumpling, but also the hands, feet, and buttocks are golden brown. I like this detailed attention to detail ...... very much! The figure is so adorable that you will want to look at it from all angles.

Sitting on his knees

Is this the most relaxed posture? Or is it a pose in which she is enduring the numbness that comes after sitting on her knees for a long time? The burn marks on her hands, buttocks, and legs show the finesse of her artistry. The oddly good style of the lower half of the body makes me laugh.

Sitting in seiza

This is a pose in which the pose is to stand still with the back straightened. If this were a pose of waiting for one's turn to eat, I would hesitate to extend my chopsticks.

Koza (sitting cross-legged)

This is a manly pose that gives the impression of being stubborn. The dumplings themselves are not only delicious, but the crossed legs look delicious as well. I like the part where the skin fails to wrap around the dumpling because it's so crunchy. It's very good, isn't it?

Sitting in gymnastics

I used to sit in this position when I was in elementary school. Or rather, I was made to take it. I heard on the news recently that this pose will no longer be allowed in the future. It gives off the atmosphere of a person who is twilighting in the sunset. Staring off into the distance, "Baka-yaro of my youth! while staring off into the distance.

Sitting in gymnastics (shrimp)

The tail of a cute shrimp is popping out of the skin! The shrimp's tail is sticking out of the skin. The shrimp's brightness really makes it look delicious.

When all five kinds are lined up in a straight line, a strange sight unfolds before your eyes. Gyoza without any expression. The neatly closed skin and the plump, puffy body filled with filling ....... Don't you feel indescribable melancholy? Is this what you call surrealism? It makes me excited.

The Gates of Hell - 500 yen, J-Dream - 5 kinds

We finally made it, didn't we? You made it with a boy's heart, didn't you!

I wonder if the capsules, which are bigger than I've ever seen before, are just barely the right size to be sold in capsule vending machines. It's a "gate. It's a "gate", so you have to make a big one to make it a gate. I don't have time for puns!

I was smiling the whole time, but thinking "What am I making? ......" as I assembled it, and finally it was completed! The sense of accomplishment was humongous. This quality is beyond the norm for capsule toys.

I can't believe they went this far~....... I'm impressed with this one, you know!

Satan Skull Gate

This item was interesting in the way the door part was assembled. The finished product was a 13cm tall monster.

The devil's figure part is just like the entrance to hell. I want to open the door! I want to say "Geeeeee" with my mouth! It is a diorama that makes you want to play with it irresistibly.

Gate of the Grim Reaper

This one is also quite tall. The lattice door can be closed, fully opened, or slightly opened. A crystal-like sphere is placed in the mouth of the Grim Reaper! The eerie effect is GOOD. This detailed attention to detail is good. The included "support" makes it stand on its own!

The torch-lit door

It looks like something out of a role-playing game. There are definitely only nasty guys on the other side of the door, right? The torches on both sides make it even more mysterious. The rugged rock surface is also nice!

Gargoyle stage

The stone statues of gargoyles, the servants of the Keeper of Hell, are standing on both sides of the stage. The two can be combined with the Satan Skull Gate using the included stand parts to create a magnificent stage.

The stage on which the ghost's hands reach out.

Six lifeless hands are extending out on both sides of the stage. They seem to pull at any chance they get. This is truly hell. I would like to put "the gate of the god of death" on this stage. What a terrifying view of the world.

The desk top instantly changes into an eerie world. You can feel the developer's extraordinary thoughts and hatred. I am impressed by the fact that ...... has created such a chunibi-like modeling object to this extent!

This "Gates of Hell" is a product planned and supervised by Dream Capsule, and manufactured by J-Dream on an OEM order basis. Dream Capsule is a unique capsule toy manufacturer that communicates with the general public via Twitter from the planning stage. Dream Capsule stores and Dream Capsule's official online store are the only stores that carry this product, so if you are interested in getting one, please check Dream Capsule's official website in advance!

So, how was it? Dumplingza was fancy, and Hell's Gate was occult. This freedom is a world only capsule toys can offer! It was a good product that made us exclaim, "Appare! It was a good product that made us shout "Appare!
