Sonny Angel has been very sought after due to his "cute little boy in headgear" adorableness going viral on social media. Any Sonny Angel series that becomes available sells out instantly [and sometimes overnight!] once announced on social media. Finding Sonny Angel availability has been even more of a challenge to acquire for collectors due to its short supply worldwide and escalating demand. With this is in mind Studio Brillantine has put some purchasing limits for stock so all of our Sonny Angel customers may continue to add to their Sonny Angel collections.
Our Sonny Angel Series is available here.
Capsule Toy figures [or Gachapon/Gashopon in Japanese] were created in Japan in the 1960's. They are very similar to Blind Box figures and collectibles as there is an element of surprise and chance in not knowing which one you will get. The main difference is the packaging which consists of a plastic recyclable ball which encapsulates your selected limited edition figure. In Japan they are sold in coin operated Gachapon machines.
Our Capsule Toy Figures / Gachapon-Gashapon collection is available here.
