The description

This Bandai Capsule Toy series features four adorable cream-soda characters dressed in themed outfits, with a ball chain attached. It cost 500 yen at Gashacoco.


The good

I was buying this capsule toy as a present for a teenager who adores "gachapon". I felt this capsule collection is a bit more whimsical and cuter than others. Turning the classic cream soda into four distinct fashion‑themed characters is a fabulous concept. The characters are Pierrot Style, Dandy Style, Mermaid Style, and Marine Style. Each one has its own personality, expressed through tiny accessories, bright colors, and charming facial expressions that make them instantly lovable. The concept of a “cream soda fashion show” is playful and imaginative, giving the series a fun narrative that makes collecting them feel more like discovering characters in a story. The figures are small enough to display easily but detailed enough to feel special, with careful attention paid to textures, costume elements, and the signature soda‑glass silhouette.


The not so good

The fact that this range is called “Cream Soda Fashion Show 2” suggests that there was a first series as well. For serious collectors, missing the original release can be disappointing, especially since older machines are usually replaced quickly and it becomes difficult to find any that still carry the “1” series. It means their collection may always feel slightly incomplete, no matter how many tries they make with the newer set. I don’t know if they intentionally produce uneven quantities of each design, but it really feels like when a collection only has four options it becomes even harder to get all of them. You end up with more duplicates than you would in machines that offer five or more designs. At 500 yen, this range is 100 yen more expensive than average.
