Bandai's Gashapon division has officially announced the upcoming release of the "Pokémon Tsumande Tsunagete Mascot 16" capsule toy series. This latest wave features 10 different designs, with each gacha pull priced at 300 JPY. Fans can expect these to hit capsule machines across Japan in October 2026.
The "Tsumande Tsunagete Mascot" series is known for its adorable miniature figures that appear to be playfully pinched from behind, with their limbs naturally dangling. Each Pokémon comes in two versions: a ball chain type perfect for attaching to bags or keys, and a lobster clasp type designed to link with other characters. The more you collect, the longer and more impressive your Pokémon chain becomes!
This 16th installment brings together two beloved evolution families: Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise, alongside Slowpoke and Slowbro. Each of these five Pokémon is available in both the ball chain and lobster clasp versions, making for a grand total of 10 unique figures. Collectors can particularly enjoy connecting the lobster clasp versions in their evolutionary order, creating a delightful chain from Squirtle all the way to Blastoise, or having Slowpoke and Slowbro dangle together in mid-air!
