These New PS1 Toy Capsules Are Worth the Price of a Flight to Tokyo

by

What’s making the journey to Tokyo all about? The food, particularly the katsu curry, is mouthwatering and the historical sites are captivating – but let’s not sugarcoat it; those exclusive PlayStation grab-and-go toys seem like the true enticement for the trip.

These compact replicas of PS1 and PS2 game boxes serve dual purposes as keychains! They come equipped with a detachable game disc and instruction manual within. It’s amazing how convenient and cost-effective they are compared to many current full-priced retail games!

Among the games offered are Everyone’s Golf, Ape Escape, and ICO. Intriguingly, there’s a highly elusive, almost mythical game hidden in the mix, leaving us wondering what it could possibly be. It might just be worth pouring all your coins into the arcade machine to uncover its secrets!

Purchasing one item will cost you approximately ¥300 (around $2), making it an affordable option for most people. However, if you choose to amass the complete collection, it might prove to be quite a challenge and potentially lead to unnecessary expenses.

Currently, this is simply one of numerous PlayStation prize capsules accessible in Japan. Sony has collaborated with Bandai Namco on several of these, such as compact consoles that emit the startup sounds for each system, as well as toys based on Ape Escape.

A flight to Japan typically costs about $1,000 and buying toy capsules might add another $100 to your expenses. However, having a tiny version of Doko Demo Issyo hanging on your keychain? That’s absolutely priceless!
