A five-character Sanrio gashapon at 300 yen with repeat shipments is a volume play for Bandai's capsule line, aimed at the collectors who already buy name tag accessories in multiples.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Bandai will release the gashapon "Sanrio Characters Fluffy Name Tag Accessories ~Baby~" in the second week of October, priced at 300 yen with tax included. The lineup has five types: Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Pochacco. Each mascot has a fluffy flocked texture and comes with canican and ring parts, so the tags can be attached to various places. The product is scheduled to ship multiple times after the initial release.
Bandai set the price at 300 yen with tax included, and the mascots carry a flocked finish rather than the smooth plastic usual to capsule straps. Canican and ring parts ship in the capsule, which puts the tag on bags, keys, or anywhere a ring fits.
Bandai expects to ship the set more than once after the initial run, a sign the company is treating it as a recurring stock item rather than a one-off. The five picks cover Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Pochacco, and Bandai points buyers to the gashapon product page for details.
