Japanese capsule toy brand YELL (エール), known for its incredibly diverse, cute, and often humorous offerings, is set to release a new product in June 2022 that many collectors might find themselves needing right now: the "Capsule Teru Teru Bozu"!
With persistent rainy weather often dampening spirits, the desire to hang up a Teru Teru Bozu, a traditional Japanese handmade doll believed to bring good weather, is stronger than ever.
YELL's new "Capsule Teru Teru Bozu" cleverly utilizes the gashapon capsule itself as the head. Collectors simply apply the included expression stickers to a vinyl fabric body, tie it with rubber bands and string, and voilà – an adorable Capsule Teru Teru Bozu is complete! The series features six different variations, distinguished by the color of their rubber bands: red, blue, black, green, yellow, and purple. What makes this release even more exciting is its price point; at just ¥100 per play, it's a rare find in today's capsule toy market. Collectors are already eagerly anticipating the June release!
