Sanrio Gemlies Series 6 Gashapon

Series 6 of the Sanrio Gemlies Collection by Bandai. These cute little containers can be used to store small trinkets, like rings , with or without the lid. The figure is removable, in case you want to place your buddy somewhere else. Each gemlie measures about 7cm/2.75in tall.

*and yes, pompom has a bootaytay!*

Fun fact! Gashapon is a trademarked name from Bandai, who started the machines in the 60's. The word is an onomatopoeia of the sound of the cranking wheel and prize dropping. I thought I'd share this, in case you didn't know already, and if you wonder why some of the capsule toys say, "gachapon" instead. Yes, I am that kind of dork. :P
