With the global COVID-19 pandemic, many collectors have been unable to travel to Japan to stock up on their favorite over-the-counter medicines. Japanese capsule toy maker Kitan Club (キタンクラブ) is now tackling this dilemma with a hilarious and creative new series: the "Medicine Bracelet" capsule toys. Now you can carry your beloved meds with you wherever you go! Featuring six unique designs, each capsule toy was priced at 300 JPY and released in late October 2021.
The "Kitan Medicine Bracelet" capsule toy series parodies six popular Japanese over-the-counter medications. Kitan Club has created its own special remedies designed to cure "empty hands" and "lack of fashion sense," including: Seiron-Maru, Nacitamin FX MINUS, Old ReRe-B Tablets, the gastrointestinal medicine Cavenge Kitan K, the pink constipation remedy Colac, and the former stomach medicine, Gas Cyclone Tablets bracelet. Each bracelet comes in an adorable mini medicine bottle, complete with pun-filled packaging, humorous descriptions, and mock "efficacy" statements. The bracelets, strung with pill-like beads, can be neatly stored inside these tiny containers. They're incredibly cute!
