The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, \u003ci\u003egacha\u003c\/i\u003e from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and \u003ci\u003epon\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSumikko Gurashi (すみっコぐらし) is a set of fictional characters produced by the Japanese company San-X. The name directly translates to \"life in the corner\", and all the characters have an affinity for corners, such as the corner seat of a café or the corner of a room. The characters are anthropomorphised animals and food items, split into Sumikko the main characters, and Minikko the smaller side characters. The main Sumikko characters have common traits: they have a slightly negative personality, they are castaways in everyday life, and they feel most relaxed when they are near a corner. These include Shirokuma, a polar bear who dislikes the cold, Penguin? who is unsure of being a penguin, Tonkatsu, a piece of leftover pork cutlet, Neko, a timid and anxious cat, and Tokage a dinosaur who pretends to be a lizard. In contrast, some of the Minikko characters have a more positive outlook, including Furoshiki a polka dot furoshiki cloth, Ebifurai No Shippo, Tonkatsu's friend who is a leftover tail of a fried shrimp, Zassou a weed with a positive attitude, Obake, a small ghost who enjoys cleaning and Tapioca who is multi-coloured leftover tapioca pearls. The characters were created by Yuri Yokomizo, a graphic designer working for San-X, and the first products were released in 2012. Their main inspiration was the feeling of comfort when one is near a corner, and they were based on Yokomizo's notebook doodles when she was a student. Three animated films with Sumikko Gurashi were released in 2019, 2021, and 2023 featuring different characters from the movie \"Sumikkogurashi: The Little Wizard in the Blue Moonlit Night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are five Sumikko Gurashi Characters in this Gachapon series: Penguin?
