The line is a re-release of the earlier Tomodachi Doll series, which turns Animal Crossing: New Horizons characters into flocked dolls. Ten characters appear in the set: Shizue, Tanukichi, Tsubukichi, Mamekichi, Totakeke, Misuzu, Chachamaru, Jun, Jack, and Yukimi. Each doll comes with a display stand, and every package includes one soda-flavored gum. The price is 550 yen including tax. The SELECTION is a compilation of the existing Tomodachi Doll lineup rather than a new character set, so the ten figures carry the same designs as the original series. Bandai sells the dolls individually, and the full run covers all ten characters. The product page on the Bandai Candy site carries further details on the lineup and release.","whyItMatters":"The SELECTION is a reissue of the original Tomodachi Doll lineup rather than a new character set, a sign Bandai is betting on repeat demand for the existing designs instead of fresh molds.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBandai announced the Atsumare Doubutsu no Mori Tomodachi Doll SELECTION on September 1, a re-release of the Tomodachi Doll candy toy line that turns Animal Crossing: New Horizons characters into flocked dolls.
