hey! i dont usually post on tumblr other than reblogging stuff, but i recently talked to a friend of mine who got me into these obscure phone charms called anizos. there’s not a lot of information about them on the internet, but from what she told me they were made as mood charms to express different personality traits, hobbies, and interests. they were mostly only available in japan, but super limited amounts may have been localized for korea and america at some point.
i actually remember having one as a kid years ago, but i lost it and totally forgot about the series until i met @rejectclone (who has a great instagram with TONS of obscure charms and figures from japan) and saw she posted one of them. this inspired me to look for anizos on yahoo auctions and i found a giant bag of them for $5. almost all of the charms included pamphlets from different series, some were clear variants and others had unique sculpts (like the cow in series 14 or the swirly/flat anizo from series 21). they are about an inch in size, but there were special “mega anizos” that were slightly larger (see series 17). i can also take photos of the charms i got if people wanna see them.
my favorite definitely has to be in series 21, the green dude with the tent on the back of his head. he looks like shrek.
apparently these old pamphlets (and anizos in general) are hard to find and not documented well on the internet, so i hope people find these scans useful and good for preservation. again shout out to my friend @rejectclone who really helped me out with information and got me back into collecting these cute lil charms! :^)
Pleased to finally own the complete set of these gashapon banana ghosts. For years I had only the three in the back, so I was missing the two most rotten! The best ones!!!
Latest HG+ Gashapon set! Features Godzilla 1994, Little Godzilla, Mougera and SpaceGodzilla!
Honestly, the best set so far. While many gashapons have existed of Mougera and Spacegodzilla, both are really nice. And the set is really well detailed. Some of the best sculpting I’ve ever seen for figures of this price. And yeah, even the Moguera is different! It’s nice having all the major monsters from one movie in one. Big step up from the last set. You can pose them in positions like from the movies!
Whoa!! Tumblr now has native Sketchfab support! Didn’t have to mess around with any embed code for what you see above. :D Neat stuff.
I’m back with another project, which is kind of like 3 mini projects in one. I’ve stuffed my favorite little robo pals into gachapon capsules for your viewing pleasure. And then I took them out and posed them individually, also for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to click through the annotations to jump to the posed figures; the left/right buttons are found on the bottom of the viewport!
I bring some bad news: They are pulling off the SU toys and replacing for new and exciting figures, like a “Fast food” eraser, “Emoji Fever” and “Emoji Fever” bands.
I asked a guy who was refilling the SU machine afterwards, they are also pulling the Clarence one and putting the first SU series there as this location “ends up fast”.
