Long live arcade gaming! Japanese toy brand EPOCH (エポック), known for its wide array of capsule toys, transferred its gashapon business to Tarlin International in July 2021. Since then, Tarlin has continued to delight consumers with various exciting capsule toy themes, and this December, they're set to release an adorable line of miniature arcade stick capsule toys!
For any serious fighting game enthusiast, a high-performance, substantial arcade stick is absolutely crucial. Beyond immersing you in an authentic arcade atmosphere, a quality stick can significantly reduce input errors, enabling more complex and precise maneuvers. When purchasing an arcade stick, players often consider numerous factors, such as the gate size, the responsiveness of Sanwa buttons, and the stability of the base. It's truly an item worth a bit of research for dedicated players.
This new capsule toy series from Tarlin features miniature arcade sticks in four distinct styles, divided into modern and retro versions, with two designs for each. While the button layouts vary slightly, the sticks and buttons are fully functional, offering a surprisingly tactile experience! Fighting game fans will definitely want to collect these as cool decorative pieces.
