Last year, Bandai hosted "Gashapon EXPO 2024: See the Future of Gashapon!", an event that offered a fresh perspective on gashapon, showcasing the evolution of capsule toys from past to present and into the future. It drew a massive crowd, complete with tons of cool merchandise.
Bandai recently announced that the wildly popular "Gashapon Machine Shoulder Bag" from Gashapon EXPO is making a comeback, this time rocking a brand-new aqua blue pocket! Not only can it stash a hefty load of your gashapon hauls, but it also features a fully functional, spinning crank – letting you enjoy the thrill of the pull wherever you go! Priced at 3,300 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on namco park.
This clever design shrinks Bandai's iconic gashapon machine down to a super portable 19cm, making it perfect for loading up all your fresh capsule toy treasures. And get this – the gashapon crank on the front actually works, so you can get that satisfying "twist" anytime, anywhere! Plus, with its adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, you can rock it however you like.
The back features a striking aqua blue contrast and even includes a handy storage pocket for your smaller essentials.
But wait, there's more! The transparent front isn't just for showing off your gashapon collection – it's also perfect for displaying your favorite oshi-katsu (fandom) merchandise. Take your fandom on the go and show it off everywhere!
