Touma is working with mega toy company Bandai on a series of capsule toys (Gashapon) featuring his popular Mao Cat figure. The new project should dramatically increase Mao Cat’s exposure with kids (and adults) who enjoy collecting affordable capsule toys – these will apparently be 200 yen/piece (~ $2.17) . While Touma has worked with Bandai before – mostly recently on the Power Ranger figures, we believe this is the first time the toy brand has released one of his original characters. Congratulations to Touma on this big project and here’s to hoping these somehow make it stateside.
