Following the release of impressive works like "Caterpillar," Bandai Namco Toys' Gashapon Division, GASHAPON, is set to launch the highly anticipated second installment of its ultra-realistic shell-less eco-gashapon series, "Caterpillar 02." This collection features four types, with a suggested retail price of 500 JPY per capsule, and is scheduled to make its adorable debut in December 2022!
The "GASHAPON Caterpillar 02" gashapon measures approximately 12 cm in length, presenting caterpillars at a massive 250% magnified scale. The collection includes four types: the Great Purple Emperor Caterpillar with cute rabbit-ear-like structures on its head, the eerie and frightening Prominent Moth Caterpillar, the Emerald Swallowtail Caterpillar, and the Citrus Swallowtail Caterpillar (Revised). The entire body features 14 to 24 points of articulation, realistically recreating the caterpillar's plump body, thoracic legs, and mouthparts. The "false eyes" on its chest are also delicately painted, showcasing the characteristic features of each caterpillar. Additionally, it features a special defensive structure, the "osmeterium," which extends to ward off enemies when the caterpillar is disturbed, and combined with a head-curling pose, recreates its intimidating state!
