Dragon Ball Comics Charm Collection 02 is rolling out to Gashapon® capsule toy machines across Japan starting from the third week of October!
*Pre-sale began as of early October at Saikyo Gasha Station Gashapon® machines.
*Depending on the location, times may vary slightly.

These items are part of a miniature charm series that faithfully recreates the Dragon Ball comic series, with each one small enough to fit in the palm of your hand!
Since our editorial department was lucky enough to get their hands on some samples, we'll be giving you a glimpse of the actual product.
Let's take a closer look at the dazzling qualities that make these worthy of being Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary merchandise!

The standout feature of this item is its twofold design!
Inside each paper box that recreates the comic's cover, you'll find an acrylic charm featuring the title page illustration from the first page of the comic!
Check out its amazing transformation from a paper box into an acrylic charm!
These luxury items allow you to switch up the design to your liking, to match your mood for that day!

Measuring approximately 5 cm tall, these miniatures carefully recreate every aspect of the original comic's covers down to the letter.

And that includes the spine illustration too!
Along with realistic text and illustrations, their thickness also conveys the feel of the genuine manga.
Next, we want to draw your attention to the back of the item.
The level of detail is already impressive, but if we zoom in closer...



Even the suggested retail price of 400 yen (tax included) per try is clearly imprinted in the price section!
It's quite apparent how much effort has been put into crafting every minute quality!

The Dragon Ball manga is well known for the illustrations on the spines of each volume, which together form a complete image when displayed side by side.
Now that we've taken a closer look, let's line up volumes 15 to 28!
Just like on the original covers, Yajirobe shows up twice.
Not only do they make for a groovy charm, they're also a charming display when lined up like this!

But that's not all!
Collect the second series we've looked at today, along with the first series that was released in September, and the third series rolling out in November, to complete the entire 42-volume set!
This is jaw-droppingly out of this world! Without question, an extraordinarily magnificent item!
Be sure to scope out your local Gashapon® corner and get hold of your own special 40th anniversary items!
