Capsule toys, little toys that you get from gum-ball style vending machines, must be really popular in Japan because they come in every style and shape you could possibly imagine. And who would ever imagine that they would come out with miniature toy versions of Sega's video game consoles? What is the point of that? If you could actually play games on them, that would be one thing, but they are just little plastic toys. They are highly realistic with real removable parts. Each one of them features controllers, mini game cartidges and all of the other accessories you would find in the actual console, but I still don't see the point. I guess if you have any Japanese friends, these would be a good Christmas present. That is, if they actually celebrate Christmas. Reminds me of this story about how Jesus travelled to Japan after his resurrection to live out his days as a garlic farmer and die in Herai Village in the Aomori district of Japan. Makes sense to me!
