▲Gashapon Bandai Official Shop Yamaguchi Izutsuya Store
In recent years, large capsule toy specialty stores have been increasing across the capsule toy industry, enjoyed by many customers as familiar, everyday entertainment. Wanting to deliver the "exciting experience" and "unique products" of Bandai's original capsule toy brand "Gashapon" directly to fans, Bandai, Bandai Namco Experience (handling planning and production), and Bandai Namco Amusement (bringing its expertise in operating large capsule toy specialty stores) are collaborating to open this store.
The Gashapon Bandai Official Shop Yamaguchi Izutsuya store is opening in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, as a Bandai-official capsule toy specialty store featuring 230 machines all in one place. By carrying the complete lineup of Bandai's new products and offering a "Gashapon experience" available only here, the store will showcase new sides of "Gashapon"'s appeal.
With intricate sculpting and a constant stream of unique products, capsule toys have become a leading presence among miniature toys today. To share the entertainment value of "Gashapon" with as many people as possible, both in Japan and abroad, the companies plan to continue opening new stores.
