We are pleased to be offering these highly sought after collectibles primarily seen in Japan for use in 'Gashapon' machines. These fun machines are a big part of the Japanese culture both for children who enjoy the surprises found inside, and by adults who pursue the rare example found in multiple sets of a particular character line.
These Isopods or pill bugs are known as "DangoMushi" in Japan and were made by Bandai in very limited amounts because they were pre-sold, meaning they didn't make any xtras that weren't already bought up by dealers before production . Primarily there were 3 sets of these smaller sized examples manufactured, recently a 4th came out. We also have a 2nd listing of these "Key Chain" examples for sale, click on our seller items" link to see other vibrant colors.
In regards to the larger "full size" Dangomushi....in each set there was a more sought after example, either because it was obviously different than the others or because demand for that type was high. For example, Set 1 had a blue "dumpling" which is tough to find these days, Set 2 had a nice translucent yellow with red eyes, Set 3 the very desirable "Zebra" isopod, Set 4 had an orange skirted "Morocco" and the introduction of a Scarab beetle, Set 5 included another very sought after "Montenegro" isopod, Set 6 had a metallic green Scarab beetle and an Ocean Crab, and Set 7 has an Armadillo Lizard along with a sweet looking Magic Potion....the 4th set of keychains has a highly sought after Zebra and Aquatic Isopod, both of which are smaller versions of their cousins.
The examples being offered here are the "hanging keychains" which are just as detailed and vibrantly colored as their larger cousins...these you can safely take anywhere you want....you're only limited by your imagination on what to hang them off of. :-) When unrolled they measure just over 4" in length. We are offering and you are purchasing A SINGLE EXAMPLE in this listing for the price noted, BUT there are a total of 11 different colors from which you can choose from. Five of the colors are offered here, while 6 other colors are offered on a separate listing A. All the colors have the same high quality construction and fine details associated with these collectibles...which again, are no longer in production.
To avoid confusion we have numbered the colors.....
#1 a bright Yellow
#2 a tasty Purple
#3 a vibrant Red
#4 Jet Black
#5 a sweet Orange
#6 a rich Brown
Again, the other 5 colors are offered in a separate listing 'B' and include very pretty shades of Pink, Blue, Gray, Ivory, and Lilac. We are offering discounts for multiple purchases, assuming you might be interested in purchasing more than one color.
Please note the "drop down" menu near the top of the listing which will allow you to choose what color(s) that you want.
If you have any concerns, or confusion, PLEASE contact us before making a purchase of these key chain examples. Thank you
These are really neat collectibles fit for any discerning Isopod collector. We are pleased to be only a handful of dealers offering these very hard to find items here in the USA. Again, with the vast majority coming from overseas with some expensive shipping options and loooong delays in arrival, we are pleased to offer them from right here in the USA with FREE shipping!
