Umao Figure Gachapon Capsule Collectible by KenElephant

Umao Figure Gachapon Capsule Collectible by KenElephant. Highly collectible and authentic Japanese gachapon capsule containing one of five Ghost Bear miniature figures by artist Umao.

He graduated from the Faculty of Design at Kyoto Seika University and currently resides in Tokyo, working as an illustrator in a variety of media including books, advertisements, and the web. In addition to client work, Umao also actively creates artwork and holds solo exhibitions. Umao likes animals and the colour blue.

Gachapon (), or Gashapon (), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, gacha from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and pon from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs. These often sell-out quickly to collectors and Gachapon enthusiasts. All our Gachapon capsules are directly imported from Japan and sold as collectible / art figurines.

There are five different Umao figures in this Gachapon series: My Ghost Bear (A), My Ghost Bear (B), Friendly Mouse, Dog and Bear And Cat.

Available singly (chosen at random just like a real Gachapon!) or as a full set of five. Original capsules included with all purchases. Please note with all KenElephant capsules, if you purchase a set of five, the seals on the capsules have to be opened to confirm the characters inside make a complete set, but the collectibles will still be sealed in plastic. Singles will be sold fully sealed wherever possible.
