Coolest Toys Ever
Coolest Toys Ever
January 9th, 2004
I mentioned all the cool toys you can find in vending machines here in Japan. Last month my friend showed me these and I just had to go get my own

First, as a fan of the Gamecube Zelda:Wind Waker game I just had to pick up these


Even cooler than them just existing, if you turn the head the eyes move!



They had 5 or 6 different colors, each comes with different mind accessories like the bomb or the fairy etc. They also had about 3 different mouths.

The other cool toy for those into retro gaming is/was these cool miniature NES systems.



They actually had about 8 different toys including the disc system and other variations not seen in America.

Here's a close up of the controllers and carts.



If you look close you can see one cart is Super Mario Bros 3 and the other is Donkey Kong.

Unfortunately as far as I can tell they were a limited release thing and are no longer available. Hmmm, I wonder what they would go for one ebay

They have the sets on ebay
A complete Nintendo set goes for $25+.  You should check out the stuff Re-ment makes!  Very cute miniature food sets!

I saw the controller component for sale at a capsule shop in Kyoto on Teramachi in Kyoto.

In my short visit to Japan I've become a bit of a capsule toy fan and I kind of regret not spending my spare yen on a bit more before flying out.

Of what I've seen, Capsule toys also include miniature models and stuff. Most of what I saw vended at the Gamers shop in akihabara, shinjuku, and teramachi were anime character stuff from naruto, dragonball, full metal alchemist. Then there were these cute squeezie keychain or bell frogs that seemed to have no real use aside from being really cute. 0_o
