Showcase #63: Part 20 Kinnikuman Gashapon Capsules

 

I already owned a vintage Gashapon machine with a Part 21 Daishi which I showcased: http://www.littlerub...howtopic=258726

 

That machine came with capsules (mostly original reissue capsules from the 2008/29th Anniversary Kinkeshi release + some vintage capsules too).

 

So I always loved the idea of either...

 

1-Filling up that Gashapon machine with actual vintage Part 21 capsules.

 

2-Owning 30 vintage capsules from each respective part.

 

I came across a Lot of over 100 vintage Gashapon capsules that I could not pass up!

 

They mostly belonged to Part 20 + some capsules from other Parts too.

 

Some crazy Kinkeshi capsule melting on some!

 

I own an original Part 20 Daishi (backing board) so I decided to switch the Part 21 Daishi with it and placed the vintage Capsules inside.

 

The Lot also helped me get to 16 total vintage capsules of the original 30 Parts.

 

I am missing 14 more capsules/Parts along with a couple of Daishi, that would truly give me a complete collection!

Brother, that is one thing that has suprised me about Japan.

 

I would have thought that they would have something like a Kinnikuman museum but they dont.

 

To be fair, often the toy stores are pretty much in itself a walking museum.

 

The closest thing I saw was the Weekly Shonen Jump exhibit at the Mori Museum in Tokyo; they had a section dedicated to Kinnikuman. Complete with a giant wall display of all 418 Kinkeshi inside a giant transparent head! but I could tell the Kinkeshi were all re-issue
