I've been incredibly keen to go and get my hands on the range of Nintendo Gashapon keyrings from Japan for a long while now. Sure, I could buy them off eBay, but the thought of being there in the Nintendo Store and picking them up myself is much more appealing. And now, thanks to Sony teaming up with Bandai-Namco and the arrival of these PlayStation Gashapon toys in Japan, I've got even more of a reason to get that flight booked and come back with the whole set.
These miniature keyrings bear likenessess of PS1 and PS2 game cases. They even have a miniature disc and a manual inside of them too - talk about attention to detail!

You'll find classic games like Ape Escape, ICO, Toro Inoue, and Everybody's Golf alongside a super rare PS2 game that simply has a '?' on the cover in the promo image above. Each go at the Gashapon machine will cost you around $2, so if you're just after the experience of getting one, then it won't be too much of a costly experience. Of course, if you stay as long as possible to try and compelte the set and pick up the mysterious rare toy, then you might spend considerably more than that!
Which one would you most like to come back with?
