I've discovered a new love. Capsule toys. These little beauties come out
of vending machines. I've seen these listed as Gashapon and Gacha, but I'm just going to stick with calling them capsule toys.
The 2 pieces I will share today are the 1st couple I purchased on eBay.
First
we have The Little Mermaid from the Disney Cinemagic Films Volume 4
collection, and was bought for $5.64, with free shipping.
How
small is this figure of Ariel holding Flounder? A little over an inch,
or 3.5cm. Ariel and Flounder came detached from the "film strip", and they simply snapped together.
The capsule itself wasn't shipped with the figure, but it did come with a little pamphlet picturing the whole series.
Also
included are little clips that connect each new figure to make a "film
reel". I'll include that in future posts when I receive more of these
tiny treasures.
Next up is a piece from the Disney Cinemagic Museum Collection. It depicts a scene from the musical number "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast.
It
measures about 1.5" inches high and 2" wide. There is a lot of
wonderful detail in a small package. In back of Lumiere is Mrs. Potts
and Chip. I didn't even notice this until I was photographing it!
This was a bit more expensive, at $7.99, also with free shipping.
It also came with a pamphlet picturing more from this series.
I'll be sharing more Capsule Toys in the future, so please, Be Our Guest!
