Snackgirls react
Kirari: I would photograph the charms with their snack-inspired wrappers still on display. All six together would look like a tiny dessert counter.
Nea: I’m glad Waddle Doo made the lineup. I want a closer look at how that distinctive eye works as an icing-cookie design.
Two Kirbys and four familiar faces
The lineup consists of Kirby A, Kirby B, Waddle Dee, Waddle Doo, King Dedede and Meta Knight. Each character keeps a recognizable silhouette while adopting the collection’s confectionery theme.
The snack-shop theme continues into the packaging
Each icing-cookie-style character comes inside confectionery-inspired packaging. A ball chain turns the small design into a mascot charm that can be attached as a decoration.
¥300 per capsule from the fourth week of September
The charms are intended for ages 15 and up. Bandai notes that the release date may differ by area and location, so not every Gashapon venue will necessarily receive them at the same time.
