Honey’s Anime got the opportunity to try T-ARTS’s Gacha machines, and the process was very simple. First, exchange money for a special token directly at their booth, with prices starting at as low as five dollars per token. Next, browse through their large collection of Gacha machines, each featuring different toy collections from anime like Oshi No Ko, major IPs like Sanrio, or Japanese culture-inspired toys like convenience store snack models and cute Shiba Inu capsule toys. Celebrating its 60th anniversary in Japan in 2025, the Gacha area of the booth also offered visitors a hands-on experience with a free Gacha draw for those who shared their booth experience on social media.
But more than the Gacha themselves, we were especially interested in their new blind box collection called “PERIHAPI!”, which they displayed onsite with adorable (and huge!) chibi figures featuring Vocaloid characters and cast members from the anime Haikyu!! We can’t wait for this collectible series to come to stores in the USA.
The TOMY booth kept on giving, offering a huge collection of their movable model kits for adult hobbyists brought to us by T-SPARK, the unified brand for TOMY Company’s hobby products with various series. Starting strong with ZOIDS models, which impressed with their motorized series, and followed by TOYRISE’s Bang Bravern models for those who want more than just to collect, they want to build. Q VILLAGE was also there with its sleek line of deformed format vehicle models for Fast and the Furious and the legendary street-racing manga Initial D. The booth also featured a display of the SYNERGENEX crossover collection of Macross 7 × Transformers with Basara Prime model kits. And last but not least, the COLLEKAZARO brand showcased its My Hero Academia fully articulated collectible figures.
