Qualia, a Tokyo-based capsule toy brand, is launching the "Dash Haniwa Pullback Mascot Figure" (¥400 per play, 7 varieties including a secret type) at capsule toy vending machines nationwide from June 15, 2026 (Monday). Availability may vary by region.
Qualia has produced a wide range of pull-back toys over the years. The unexpected new star of their lineup is the "haniwa" — terracotta clay figures crafted during Japan's Kofun period (roughly the 3rd to 7th century) that were arranged around the burial mounds of powerful rulers. These iconic symbols of ancient Japan have now been reborn as a pull-back toy.
Pull the haniwa figure backward and release it, and it dashes forward while swinging its arms energetically. The comical motion is a stark contrast to the still, dignified image typically associated with haniwa, creating a double-take-worthy gap that's bound to bring a smile.
