Capsuleer Wacky Kaiyama boasts a vast collection of over 110,000 capsule toys and is known as \u201cJapan's number one capsule toy collector.<\/p>\n

In this issue, he will talk enthusiastically about his collector's book that concentrates the charm of the retro Showa-era \"Cosmos\" and the flamboyant \"Wacky Kaizan Wrapping Vending Machine\".<\/p>\n

Enjoy the deep and hot world of gacha, guided by Wacky Kaizan, a capsule toy lover for half a century!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

(Wacky Kaiyama)<\/p>\n

\u25a0Mai wrapping vending machine appeared!<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

We will be presenting a double feature in this issue.<\/p>\n

\u25a0Wacky Kaizan's Cosmos Mounted Paper Collection: 2000 yen (tax not included)<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It was a time of lax copyrights, and you could do whatever you wanted!<\/p>\n

The large size of the photos is also very destructive, and the impact of the impostors has been compiled in a single volume.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u25a0Added cosmos mount<\/h2>\n

These are some of the newly added cosmos mounts.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Since these items are not for sale, they tend to be expensive and are not readily available.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Dragon Key\" was made in honor of the \"Dogo-Go-Zero\" ball hit. At the time, small keys were a big hit.<\/p>\n

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 .......<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u25a0Home-made mounts<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Four carefully selected from a stock of more than 100 pieces. Are you feeling the love for gacha?<\/p>\n

\u25a0Wacky Kaizan wrapped vending machine<\/h2>\n

Sun Vending Tohoku arranged to have the vending machines installed at a vending museum along Route 4 in Takashimizu, Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It is called a vending machine, but it does not sell.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What do you think? It's stunning, isn't it?<\/p>\n

At the same time, \"Gachaemon,\" a vending machine with a handle, was also introduced, proving its compatibility with gacha.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The real thing will roar! Please come to the site. Please spread the word on social networking sites as a new Miyagi spot.<\/p>\n
