What This Gashapon Series Offers
The Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection is a gashapon (capsule toy) series featuring six different miniature sets. Each capsule is a surprise, and the lineup includes Charmy-chan character sets and animal figures. The series is aimed at collectors aged 15 and up, and each miniature stands about 4.5 cm tall.
Key Facts at a Glance
- 【Gashapon】Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection: Size: approximately 4.5cm This compact size makes the miniatures easy to display on shelves, in dioramas, or alongside other gashapon collections, but the small scale means fine details may be limited.
【Gashapon】Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection - 【Gashapon】Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection: Material: PVC/ABS/PP/paper/iron Mixed materials give each figure a varied texture and weight, but also mean some parts (like paper or iron) may be more delicate than all-plastic figures.
- 【Gashapon】Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection: Age: 15&Up The age rating indicates small parts and potential choking hazards, so this series is not intended for young children.
- 【Gashapon】Kenelephant Nakayoshi Charmy Miniature Collection: Series Include: 6 types With only six possible outcomes, completing a full set is more achievable than in larger blind box series, but duplicates are still possible.
The Six Gashapon Lineup

What to Consider Before You Buy
Because this is a blind box gashapon, you cannot choose which miniature you get. If you are aiming for a specific Charmy-chan variant or animal set, you may need to buy multiple capsules or trade with other collectors. The series is sold in a single-box format, and the price per capsule (around $4.50) is typical for a licensed gashapon. Note that actual product size and color may vary slightly due to manufacturing and display differences.
Trade-offs to Weigh
The mixed-material construction (PVC, ABS, PP, paper, iron) gives each piece a unique feel but also means that paper elements or iron parts may not be as durable as all-plastic figures. The compact 4.5 cm size is ideal for small displays but limits fine detail. The 15+ age rating ensures safety for older collectors but excludes younger children. Finally, the random nature of gashapon means you may get duplicates, though the limited six-type lineup makes completing a set more realistic than in larger series.
