Japanese capsule toy manufacturer YELL (エール) is set to release a mischievous new collection in August 2022: the "Oshicha Dame!?" Buttons (押しちゃダメ!?ボタン) capsule toy series. Designed to indulge that playful urge to push forbidden switches, these gashapon are a must-have for anyone who loves a bit of harmless rebellion.
Many collectors can likely recall a phase of mild defiance – not truly bad, but an irresistible urge to ignore "No Entry" signs, stomp on "Do Not Press" warnings, or touch objects explicitly marked "Do Not Touch." YELL's "Oshicha Dame!?" Buttons directly taps into this primal desire, offering a safe and satisfying way to press those tantalizingly off-limits switches. The series features four distinct designs: an Emergency Button, a Nurse Call, a Fire Alarm, and an Emergency Stop Button.
Beyond their faithful recreation of real-world buttons, these capsule toys pack a surprising punch. Each approximately 6cm button boasts unique sound effects, adding an extra layer of interactive fun. The Fire Alarm and Emergency Stop Button go even further, incorporating both magnetic bases and light-up functions, elevating the play experience. Imagine sticking one on your office desk or fridge and unleashing a satisfying "press" whenever stress strikes – instant relief! A standout feature is the inclusion of replaceable batteries, significantly extending the lifespan and enjoyment of these delightful gashapon. In reality, pressing any of these buttons without cause would lead to serious consequences, making the freedom to push them endlessly in toy form incredibly satisfying. This collection comes highly recommended for all toy enthusiasts!
