Bandai's Gashapon division is set to release a charming new anthropomorphic cat-themed capsule toy series, "Working Cats: Cats Supporting the Fishing Industry" (はたらく猫 ～水産業を支える猫たち～), in the fifth week of March 2022!
While Gashapon is known for hilarious, self-absorbed feline figures like "Chūnibyō Cat" and "Return! Chūnibyō Cat ~Don't Dye Your Fur Like a Phantom~," they also excel at depicting serious, hardworking cats who prop up entire industries! This "Cats Supporting the Fishing Industry" series perfectly captures that reliable, middle-aged uncle vibe, coupled with an almost artisan level of professionalism. Centered around the fishing industry, these cats are decked out in various costumes and gear. There are 5 adorable and intriguing types to collect: Trawl Fisherman, Ama (Diver), One-Rod Fisherman, Free Diver, and Sushi Chef. You'll definitely want to collect the whole set!
● Trawl Fisherman / 漁師（網）
● Ama (Diver) / 海女さん
● One-Rod Fisherman / 漁師（一本釣り）
● Free Diver / 素潜り
● Sushi Chef / すし職人
