A gashapon set from the US divisiion of Yujin, TYC.

Thanks to

igrrl for pointing this one out. tiki's 'hood is unfortunately lacking in gashapon devices.

First, a little whiney-whine about how BLOGGIN' R HARD WERK! 'Cause, we had to spend a decent-sized chunk of our morning, which elsewise could have been more productively utilized catching up on our second season Buffy the Vampire Slayer, instead laboriously scraping the sticky tape off each little color-coded plastic bubble dealo and then carefully snipping open all the little baggie thingies.

Anyways, this is the set. It's the cutie design we've seen in a few Asian sets.

Oh, and these figures are FUN!

This is what you get after you've finally opened and sorted out everything. Chewy, chewy goodness!

Actually, the little mascots are made out of a kinda gummy/chewy material. Don't think you can actually use them as erasers. But we're wondering if it's so stupid American kids don't accidentally poke their eye out.
