Jenco, well-known for producing anime, enters the capsule toy market! Comical frog figures and Bike Logo key chains from the past are now available [Wacky Kaiyama's latest Gacha exploration No. 78

Jenco, known for planning and producing anime such as "Mobile Police Patlabor," will be entering the capsule toy industry in earnest this fall, releasing its first product "Ore, kara kara frog" in October 2023, and we are going to take a look at it first.

As the name suggests, "Ore kara kara frog" is a figure of a frog! Looking at them, you will feel adorable, nostalgic, and somehow nostalgic. These frogs have a kind of melancholy feeling to them! I'm told that they are still in the process of development, so I'm borrowing a sample to introduce them to you.

I'm a frog lover, so I wonder if they will meet my expectations. I'm super excited.

I'm going to start frogs today, Jenko: 7 kinds, 300 yen

The overall rounded form with pale white and green contrasts is impressive. Is it a motif of tree frog? It is not smart like the frogs depicted in Birds and Animals caricatures, and its plump belly is not like a stranger. First of all, this is where I got emotionally involved. Really, the gestures are irresistible, as if they are a slice of human life.

I love the frog with its arms behind its back in a great way! It is so funny to see his cheeks puffed out. I love the way he looks like an uncle.

I also like the way he folds his arms! I love the face of the frog, too. What are you going to do when you wake up in the morning and find you have turned into a frog? What are you going to do?

What? There is also a figure holding its mouth with its hand, touching its plump buttocks and checking out its changed body, or putting its right hand on its head and thinking, "What would I do now? It's fun to think about what I would do.

In fact, there is already a plan for a second series, and we were able to borrow these as well. Some frogs are standing with their big bellies out and looking like they can't do anything about it (......), while others are posing with their chins on their hands in a positive way, saying, "This is nice. There will also be a fierce one who is bravely posing with his arms folded and his legs spread wide apart.

It looks like we'll be developing the "This is something from today series" in the future. I can't wait to see what kind of animals will be released.

This frog! Let me say it clearly! It is a gem that meets my glasses. I hope this cuteness will be conveyed to as many readers as possible.

And I hope Jenko will become a star of capsule toys.

Honda NSR250R Rubber Key Chain Collection HMA, 6 kinds, 300 yen

This capsule toy is currently on sale, but to our surprise, it seems to have sold out and is almost out of stock. If you see one, you must buy it immediately.

This rubber strap is really well made. It is really well made. It is both cool looking and robust enough not to break even under the toughest conditions. It combines both design and practicality.

The logo and the color scheme are perfectly reproduced as it is officially licensed by Honda. The actual product is really cool! This is a must-have item. If this gacha is available at a store, I will spin it as many times as I can. This is exactly what grabs the attention of bikers! It's easy to see why so many stores are sold out.

Let's review them one by one!

MC16 1986

The white "NSR" logo looks great on the bright red background. The number and year of manufacture are engraved on the back side, which is also cool. If you combine this key chain with a bike of the same coloring, you will have no enemies in your way!

MC18 1988

The end of the Showa period. This motorcycle was manufactured during the bubble economy of the late Showa period, when Japan was in the midst of a boom. The color scheme is also very energetic. The rubber itself is the largest size in the series. There will be a lot of people who will be immersed in sentimentality while looking at this key chain, saying that those days were the best~......?

MC21 1990

The two-wheel racing of those days was spectacular. The white logo shining on a blue background is stylish, as if symbolizing this. The change to a typeface full of a sense of speed may be a reflection of the times.

Mc21 SP 1992

Back to the roots? The simple black on white design is conversely cool. Best match with rubber material.

MC28 1993

This design looks like a renewal of the "MC21 1990. Personally, I think this version is the most comfortable with the white "NSR" logo on a blue background. It was the color scheme used for the longest period of time, so I wonder if that impression is strong.

MC SP 1995

The "NSR" logo was changed drastically. It is a bold design that brings the company name "HONDA" to the front. The size of the key chain is large, following that of the 1988 key chain.

It is nice to be able to see the changes in the Honda NSR logo on this product. Many bikers may look at this rubber key chain and think, "I used to ride this bike back in those days. It is a wonderful capsule toy that is like a time machine, allowing you to return to your past self!
