Yeah, I can't see them having 'preorder by May 15th' there if it wasn't due for a rerelease this year - they wouldn't have left that on for the best part of 3 years

So says the site:
Product Overview: This item is a series of gashapon (capsule toys) or trading figures depicting characters or people.
It does not require either cement or paint to complete or use.
So you won't need to paint them. However, you may have to clip them together. I think quite a lot come fully assembled (yeah, I'd say that was the right word), but then again some
don't (some more examples courtesy of Moyism -
2 3 4 Some of 3's are fully assembled, but the majority seem to be put-together. Can't help but wonder whether they fall apart fairly easily.
I've always managed to resist buying any of these things (not too fussed on spending ~£40 on some figures that'll sit and do nothing collecting dust in the corner) but those are so tempting
But I fear if I buy them it'll start a slippery slope towards financial ruin
[Edit]Excellent, I thought so... seen as they've been out once before, there are loads of pictures available of the figures. Haven't found out whether they involve assembly yet though, but here are the pics if anyone wants to see them (click links from
this wonderful little site) If I've got any of the names wrong, please let me know.

Various Unpainted (キャラクター象牙色 版):
Those various unpainted figures worry me somewhat (if you get 12 in a box, and have a chance of getting those then all of a sudden you're EXTREMELY unlikely to get all of them in one set
I just wanted the painted ones dammit)
