Takara Tomy Arts will start selling the “Pokemon in the Forest” capsule toy line starting mid-February 2022. It will cost JPY 300 (approximately $2.60) per spin. This series will feature four Pokemon to collect. In addition, you can use their cover to form a small plastic tree for them to pose. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
The four Pokemon in the Jungle Pokemon capsule collection are: Pikachu, Buneary, Starly and Munchlax. Of these four, only Pikachu and Buneary have berries to eat. Starly is resting in its nest. Meanwhile, Munchlax seems to be waiting for more berries to fall from the tree. Its arms were outstretched as if it was about to catch something, and it was looking up at the treetops that were probably there. Each shape is about 36 mm tall and the tree you can build is 88 mm.
Here are some more pictures of the capsule toys:
In addition to making children’s toys, Takara Tomy regularly releases capsule toys in collaboration with anime movies or games.
