GASHAPON Unveils "Sanrio Characters Solid & Cool Style Marker Charms" Capsule Toys

Bandai's Gashapon division is set to release a new series of highly anticipated Sanrio character-themed capsule toys: the "Sanrio Characters Solid & Cool Style Marker Charms." Each capsule will retail for 300 JPY, with an estimated release in the third week of August 2026!

Gashapon's Marker Charm series features a rubber ring attached to each charm, allowing collectors to easily mark items like umbrellas or water bottles to prevent mix-ups. This new "Sanrio Characters Solid & Cool Style Marker Charms" collection gives beloved characters a stylish, street-inspired makeover. The lineup includes five different designs: Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Pochacco, and Pompompurin. Each character sports a sleek black hoodie, with their signature colors subtly highlighted in low-saturation, high-brightness accents. These accent colors also adorn the lower eyelids, perfectly complementing the black hoodies. Intricate details like beanies, baseball caps, and headphones complete their looks, creating an irresistible blend of cute and cool!
