Why argue? Just mix them all together and make them into tiger gashapon!
Japanese toy and sundry goods manufacturer T-ARTS (Takara Tomy Arts Co., Ltd.) is set to release an animal-themed gashapon series, "Transforming Tiger" (tentative translation, トラんすふぉーむ), in March 2024! There are 8 types to collect, with a suggested retail price of 300 JPY per capsule.
Tigers, often a symbol of ferocity in countless works and holding a prominent place in many myths and legends, are now officially transformed into harmlessly adorable animals! The product name for T-ARTS' Transforming Tiger, トラんすふぉーむ, comes from the English word "Transform" (トランスフォーム). By isolating and extending the prefix トラ (tora, meaning tiger), the design concept revolves around tigers transforming into various animals. This includes four forms: Panda, Rabbit, Squirrel, and Seal. In addition to the standard orange and black color scheme, variant versions featuring a white tiger theme are also available. The sizes range from approximately 4 to 7.2 cm, with the largest being the Seal form, which the official website also heavily emphasizes – its plump, round contours are simply too cute!
