TAKARA TOMY's toy brand T-ARTS will release a rather interesting animal-themed gashapon, "Animal Face Mask" (tentative translation, あにまるパック), this August! It's sure to become the new darling of toy collectors.
From the distant past, various animals, in order to survive, to evade predators, and to ensure their prey's demise, developed countless physical structures, and what has been passed down is their so-called wild instinct! However, fast forward to the present, the affluent 21st century, animals no longer prioritize survival; attracting the world with their charm is the true path to success... (The above is entirely fictional)
This series of anthropomorphic animal gashapon, themed around applying face masks, is truly adorable. Within a size of 4-5.5 cm, it depicts animals enjoying their beauty time with face masks. This includes a pig leisurely lying down and scrolling on its phone, a giraffe brushing its teeth while looking at its phone, a lion drying its mane, and two rabbits applying nail polish. There are also white and black masks – absolutely charming! Additionally, aside from the animal figures themselves, the phones, hair dryers, and toothbrushes, the tables, chairs, and sofas shown in the official images are separate accessories that must be purchased separately and are not included in the product content.
