SNACK in 3 lines
- PocketStation Doko Demo Issyo miniature charms return to Japanese Gashapon machines in the third week of July.
- The price is ¥400 per try, with nine variants in total.
- The hook is a tiny opening PocketStation-style retro PlayStation charm, not a hardware revival.

Snackgirls editorial note
Nea: PocketStation is all about that tiny-screen portable feel, so the miniature format fits the nostalgia well.
Kirari: The different screen designs make it a fun capsule-toy item rather than a one-and-done keychain.
Bandai Gashapon’s official product page and HOBBY Watch’s July 2 report confirm that PocketStation Doko Demo Issyo miniature charms are scheduled for a Japanese resale in the third week of July 2026. The official page describes it as a resale of the same product first released in January 2026.
July third-week resale at ¥400 per try
The official page lists the release timing as the third week of July 2026. The tax-included price is ¥400 per try, and the target age is 15 and up.
Bandai also notes that release timing can differ by area and store. That makes it a product to check through local Gashapon availability rather than a single fixed launch-day item.



Nine variants split between white and crystal types
The lineup has nine variants: five white-type designs and four crystal-type designs. The screens use Doko Demo Issyo designs including Toro and other characters.
The useful detail is the opening gimmick. It is not just a flat acrylic charm; it recreates the PocketStation shape as a small charm that opens and closes.



Treat it as retro merch, not a hardware comeback
This is not a functional PocketStation revival. It is a capsule-toy miniature using the look of Sony’s 1999 PlayStation peripheral and Doko Demo Issyo screen designs.
The practical takeaway is the resale window, ¥400 price, nine-design lineup and opening charm gimmick. For retro PlayStation collectors, it is a small but clearly themed item to watch.
