We are very pleased to offer these highly detailed figures of "Yamori" which means Gecko in Japanese. These highly collectible figures were part of a set which were distributed by Bandai, a Japanese toy manufacturer/distributor, and were retailed as individual examples in Gashapon machines found in Japan.

They are amazing with all the components placed inside a package not much bigger than a billiard ball. The details are mind blowing given their size, and the engineering is top notch too!  Native to Australia, these distinctive geckos are named for the small knob at the tip of their tail, and they’re known for their rasping bark. 

I believe this one replicates Nephrurus amyae, also known commonly as the Centralian rough knob-tailed gecko. This one comes with two interchangeable mouths, one is closed while the other is open with a cool looking tongue and attitude!

Gashapon machines are similar to the coin-operated toy vending machines seen outside grocery stores and other retailers in other countries. While American coin-operated vending toys are usually cheap, low-quality products sold for a few quarters, Japanese gashapon are normally a much higher-quality product. They are often constructed from high-grade PVC plastic, and contain more molding detail and intricately painted features. Many gashapon are considered collector's items, with rare ones fetching extremely high prices in secondhand markets.

Here's your chance to get one for yourself.....right here in the good ol' USA....with FREE shipping that won't keep you waiting weeks for it to arrive...if you can find them at all. You can collect the set(s) for yourself, or to offer as a unique gift. Imagine the wonder in a child's mind when he gets a hold of these geckos. I think they would be awesome in a classroom for all the kids to enjoy! 

We also have Dangomushi (Isopods), very realistic Hornets, and some very rare and super special "gift" items that were sometimes found in a capsule in the form of a lottery ticket. You turned in your ticket at the counter and got your prize.....even the smallest prize is filled with details...and the biggest like super lifelike Hercules and other beetles are amazingly accurate reproductions that Mother Nature herself would be proud of...check 'em out in our other listings!
