Mini in appearance but surprisingly practical! Miniature Sign Lamps and Miniature Gacha Machines! Wacky Kaiyama's latest gacha exploration No. 28

Osaka Gacha Gacha Festival 2019 - The World of Gacha Gacha You Don't Know" was recently held at Loft Plus One West! Wacky Kaizan, the capsule toy concierge who has been giving bullet-point gacha talks to enthusiasts, will select the latest capsule toys, refining his own judgment and prejudice!

This time, I'd like to introduce a must-have item for anyone involved in video or audio recording, such as "You Tubers"! As I myself have been distributing videos with capsule toys old and new, this was a must-have item for me. And, thinking back to the distant "Showa" era, a miniature gacha machine that incorporates many of the particulars of retro gacha is also featured! We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we do!

Sign Lamp" Epoch 300 yen

With the spread of button batteries, miniature home appliances are becoming popular in the world of capsule toys. This time, I picked up a practical item closely related to my work, the "Sign Lamp. It is a very cute size, but the black cube gives it a sense of solidity. The sturdy appearance of the sign lamp will satisfy even those who are more interested in the real thing.

Now, let's turn on the power. The light spreading out from the center of the lamp is quite unique, and the dim light gives a sense of warmth.

Let us introduce you to all six types.

ON AIR

Turn on the light and you're a DJ instantly!

It looks like it could be placed next to a bilingual radio DJ broadcasting rare Western music in his unique native English. This gacha is a must have for everyone in the radio industry!

On the air.

This one looks like it would be shining near a radio personality on the air late at night. I miss those days when I had to tuck my face into my pillow and suppress my laughter, just because of the time of day. Program directors, please purchase this product!

In Use."

Shall I leave this in the bathroom? Or in the bathroom? It could be used in a variety of ways. Waterworks contractors! Don't forget to buy one!

OPEN.

Put this in your store! The letters glow orange! If you put it at the entrance of a late-night bar, fathers who have missed the last train will stop by.

Emergency Exit

The original color is green on a white background. If you put a lot of them around, they will be useful in case of emergencies. If you are prepared, you will be safe. Managers of theaters and live music clubs! Don't you want one?

WORKING."

The cautionary yellow letters stand out undeniably! Is this an item completely for construction workers?　No, it's for those who want to work late at night without being disturbed by anyone, or those who want to finish laying out the dominoes by morning. Or those who want to put green peas on top of shumai in the dark. This will definitely be useful for such people.

If you want to use it in a video or other application, place the lamp near the camera and use perspective. The video will look like the real thing and everyone will love it.

You can also use it as a travel companion! It could also be used to accent a nice photo. How would you use such a mini-lamp with such endless uses? Let us know next time!

3D File Series Gacha Gacha Machine" Stand Stones: 300 yen

Is this a recent trend? Miniature gacha-gacha machines are appearing from various manufacturers. Not only capsule toys, but also paper crafts have appeared in the appendices of magazines for young children. At the time of their release, they were much talked about. What they all have in common is that you can turn the handle and the capsule comes out.

Among them, we would like to introduce the "3D File Series Gacha Gacha Machine," in which the handle does not turn unless coins are actually inserted. It's quite a feat! What a surprise, it can also be used as a piggy bank. It looks like it can hold about five coins!

The parts are contained in a capsule full of pieces. It's exciting, just like assembling a plastic model.

Pillars are set up at the four corners! This is very authentic! The capsule is a "structural reproduction of that day's capsule plane," which makes sense. The actual model in my collection also has pillars!

The mini stickers that come with it are nice! The arrow to turn the handle to the right is also a nice little accent, and the capsule exit door has a warning sign that says, "Do not put your hand in the extraction opening! on the capsule exit door at ....... Even though the capsule is too small to fit even your pinky finger in it.

Well, well, well! The height is 7.5 cm and the depth is 4 cm. It is a nice miniature gacha machine. I would like to add it to a diorama of a Showa-era candy shop.

Hmm? What is it? There is something that looks like a miniature key at ....... With this, the lid of the ceiling can be opened and closed. !!!!

I guess it must have required a very precise design to incorporate such a detailed gimmick. Hats off to them.

There are a total of 7 types in the lineup. Each one comes with two capsules and a selector to identify which coins (100 yen, 50 yen, and 10 yen) can be inserted.

There are two types of body colors, red and green. This is exactly the coloring of the 20 yen and 100 yen machines of my favorite retro gacha "Cosmos. If you are particular about the coloring, it would be fun to put a "Cosmos" logo sticker on the side of the machine.

In addition to the gacha-gacha machines, there is also a "capsule set" with 12 capsules!

You want to fill up the machine to the brim with capsules so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. If you are one of those people, this is something you should definitely get as well!

With the name of the era changing to "2025," the "Showa" era is now a distant memory. It may be needed as a healing item to immerse yourself in the memories of that era.

By the way, I love gacha machines. Every time a new product is released, I feel like I am always writing about it. I am looking forward to seeing what new gacha machines will appear in the future.
