Lucky Bag Roundup 2020
To our surprise, it was not a lucky bag just devoted to Vegeta models, as we initially thought.
All we knew was that the bag contained Dragon Ball anime figures, and that was all we needed to know.
Multiple Tengas are just part of the high-value package.
Plenty of fanservice awaits in this end-of-year Evangelion package, and we didn’t even have to queue for one.
Despite kicking off the new year with a plethora of anime merch, something felt amiss for our Japanese-language reporter’s fukubukuro experience.
Donguri Kyowakoku delivers one of the best lucky bags of the New Year, with a very unusual Totoro.
No matter which of the possibilities are inside, there’s no way fans of Pokémon, or donuts, will be walking away disappointed.
