■Mai wrapping vending machine appeared!
Hello, my name is Wacky Kaiyama. This is Wacky Kaizan, and February 17 is Gacha Day, the day the capsule toy business started in Japan 61 years ago.
I started my career as a collector in the second grade of elementary school. About half a century has passed since then. The collector's book of such an old man gacha mania has been reorganized and renewed. Furthermore, on the same day, a vending machine with my wrapping appeared in Miyagi Prefecture, my hometown!
We will be presenting a double feature in this issue.
■Wacky Kaizan's Cosmos Mounted Paper Collection: 2000 yen (tax not included)
The capsule toy display (mount) of "Cosmos (1977-88)," a phantom manufacturer that once existed in Saitama Prefecture, has been increased by 12 sheets to a total of 212 sheets from the 20 yen and 50 yen eras. In addition, rare items from those days are added to the renewed 50-page volume.
It was a time of lax copyrights, and you could do whatever you wanted!
The large size of the photos is also very destructive, and the impact of the impostors has been compiled in a single volume.
The cover has also been completely renewed. This book is sure to attract many addicts to the cuteness of the 80s Showa-era retro pop illustrations that will stick even with those who are unfamiliar with this era.
If you're interested, Kikuya Bookstore Sendai Store and Mandaran Nakano Store Mikrokan (mail order is also available). (Mail order is also available.) These two stores are currently handling the book!
The recent popularity of capsule toys. There was a time like this. This is a must-buy book for those who want to open the door to an even deeper world.
■Added cosmos mount
These are some of the newly added cosmos mounts.
Since these items are not for sale, they tend to be expensive and are not readily available.
Pistol Tank Corps" A chunky tank is loaded with bullets, and when the button on the head is pressed, it flies out with a whiz. It is quite powerful for its size. I lost the bullets quickly.
Dragon Key" was made in honor of the "Dogo-Go-Zero" ball hit. At the time, small keys were a big hit.
The coloring of the "look-alike dolls" is only for the base paper, and the actual dolls are single-color vinyl chloride erasers! This is a product that took advantage of the popularity of the Yankee and BIGLIMAN boom. A total of 50 varieties are available at the dreaded .......
Byon Kichi" - Inoki-san and Baba-san's faces are just pasted on the spring. The naming is also borrowed from the character on the T-shirt.
Springs" There have always been "springs. In those days, they were made of iron. If you put a face on it, it will turn into Byonkichi?
The "fancy coaster" was a winning ball that was exchanged at the store, but it was just a piece of cardboard, and frankly, I was not happy.
■Home-made mounts
When I was in elementary school, I already had a collection of gacha (toy) cabinets, and I really wanted to get a mount - I had no choice. Since I had no choice, I had to make it myself.
Four carefully selected from a stock of more than 100 pieces. Are you feeling the love for gacha?
■Wacky Kaizan wrapped vending machine
Sun Vending Tohoku arranged to have the vending machines installed at a vending museum along Route 4 in Takashimizu, Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture.
It is called a vending machine, but it does not sell.
However! I can't wait to see the "wacky T-shirts" I always wear this spring, which will also be available for sale. What would happen if retro cosmos vending machines were the size of today's vending machines? I have been interested in this for many years.
What do you think? It's stunning, isn't it?
At the same time, "Gachaemon," a vending machine with a handle, was also introduced, proving its compatibility with gacha.
The real thing will roar! Please come to the site. Please spread the word on social networking sites as a new Miyagi spot.
