BANDAI's GASHAPON division is set to release a new series of cable protectors under its popular Hugcot line, featuring characters from the classic anime "Ranma 1/2." The "Hugcot Ranma 1/2" capsule toys (ハグコット らんま1/2) will include 5 different designs, each priced at 300 JPY, with an anticipated release in late December 2021.
Rumiko Takahashi's romantic comedy manga "Ranma 1/2," first launched in 1987, holds a special place in the childhood memories of many fans. Known for its hilarious plot and beautifully designed characters, it's widely regarded as one of Takahashi's signature works. The story follows protagonist Ranma Saotome, who, while training with his father, accidentally falls into the "Spring of Drowned Girl" (Nyannichuan) in the fictional Jusenkyo region of Qinghai Province, China, cursing him to transform into a girl whenever splashed with cold water.
The "Hugcot Ranma 1/2" capsule toy series transforms popular characters from the series into adorable cable protectors that hug your charging cables. Whether used individually or with a whole collection adorning your wires, they're incredibly charming. The five characters featured are: Ranma Saotome (male form), Akane Tendo, Shampoo, Ranma's father Genma Saotome in his panda form, and Ryoga's transformed piglet form, P-chan. With their distinctive character-specific designs, "Ranma" fans won't want to miss out on these!
