To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the globally beloved "Doraemon" franchise, Japanese capsule toy maker Kitanklub (KITAN CLUB) is releasing an adorable "Sitting Doraemon" capsule toy series as a special commemorative product under its popular "Sitting Series" (座るシリーズ) lineup. This collection features five different designs, with each gashapon retailing for 300 JPY. The series is slated for release in late August 2021.
While the "Sitting Series" capsule toys typically feature animal themes, this latest iteration incorporates classic "Doraemon" characters. The plump Doraemon and Nobita are depicted in their signature sitting poses, with heights ranging from approximately 33 to 39 mm. These exquisitely cute figures join the lineup, legs extended and sitting peacefully. The collection includes five characters: Doraemon, Nobita, the yellow, ear-equipped Proto Doraemon, Doraemon with Mini-Dora, and Doraemon's sister Dorami. Although there's no explicit "50th" anniversary marking, Doraemon's gentle expression and charming design make this a must-have for fans.
