It turns out there’s a division of labor between who comes up with the words and who writes them on the papers.
vending machine toys
Because who knows how many little kids and giant otaku have put their hands on that machine since the last time it was cleaned?
Paired with a mini goshuincho, this is a small-size, small-price way to experience the inner calm of traditional Japanese arts.
Japan’s love of tiny trees and tiny toys combines in a beautiful way that still has space for you to show off your artistic side.
Obvious homage lets your pet dress up like a members of the anime’s cast other than its mentor cats.
It’s no secret that here at RocketNews24 we are pretty big fans of vending machine toys. One the few capsule toys that’s broken out of the vending machine is Cup no Fuchiko. The adorable, demure little plastic lady who sits on the edge of your cup took Japan by storm two years ago, and can now be found in department and gift stores across the country.
You might be forgiven for thinking that this new little-girl version, named Cup no Kado no Gurimi-chan, was an official product from the makers of Fuchiko. Until you notice their tagline: “Don’t sue us!!”…
Yep, Gurimi-chan is pretty weird, in all kinds of ways.
