Bonsai....action figures?

[NaoTK]

Just gunna leave this right here....

This is my collection of bon-no 盆悩 gatcha ball figurines I got in Japan from 2017(?) -present. I am only missing the ume. The best one IMO is the princess persimmon- it is so accurate.

These are soo fun!!!
thanks for sharing!
Why don’t you have the Ume? Is it hard to find?

 

[Pitoon]

Funny, where did you find them?

 

[Ruddigger]

Those are hilarious.

I was expecting to see a 12" Bjorn or Ryan....with functional scissors and kung-fu grip!

I would love to see one of these slipped into a serious bonsai exhibit. Those who did not laugh, I would avoid.

They’d make a nice accent plant. I saw someone at a small show using the Lego bonsai as an accent recently.

These were in circulation for a limited time and the ume was several years ago. You put money in the gatcha machine and the one you get is random.

Term is lost on me. What does this mean?

Me too, but I'm guessing it's one of those weird Japanese vending machines, that has all sorts of random things inside, like used and unwashed panties and such.

From Google: "Gacha machines are the Japanese term for what other people outside the country might refer to as a "bubble-gum machine." The premise is the same in that you put in coins into a machine in exchange for something."

I would think you @NaoTK would have/had duplicates then.

They are so cute! The maple is my favorite of your bunch, no surprise there.

It’s funny how everyone no matter where in the world they are, knows about the pantie machines.

Its new to me. I can't even imagine such a thing and I am far from prudish.
As to the figures themselves, there are none on eBay or Etsy.

I love gachapon, but I haven't seen machines in the US with such cool stuff in them.

I didn't and now I'm kind of grossed out.
