Each box costs 550 yen and goes on sale in the candy sections of mass retailers nationwide in Japan. The set has 10 flocked dolls, each with a display stand and one piece of soda-flavored gum. The lineup is Isabelle, Tom Nook, Timmy, Tommy, K.K. Slider, Mabel, and four more: Chai (also listed as Chabashira), Julian, Marshal, Jack, Aurora, Raymond, and Whitney. The sources do not fully agree on the back half of the roster. One listing gives Chai, Julian, Jack, and Aurora; another gives Marshal, Julian, Raymond, and Whitney; a third gives Chabashira, Marshal, Jack, and Aurora. All versions confirm 10 types and the same 550 yen price. The figures are re-releases from the earlier Tomodachi Doll series.","whyItMatters":"The three listings disagree on four of the ten characters, so buyers checking a store shelf against a single article may find a different assortment than the one they read about.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tomodachi Doll line predates this set. Bandai is reissuing earlier figures under a SELECTION label rather than making new sculpts, and the packaging format is the standard shokugan one: a doll, a stand, and a stick of gum in the same box. That format puts the set in convenience stores and supermarket candy aisles, not in hobby shops.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle, Tom Nook, Timmy, Tommy, K.K. Slider, and Mabel appear in all three source lists. The remaining four slots are where the lists separate. Chai and Chabashira appear to be the same character under different romanizations, and that character shows up in two of the three rosters. Marshal appears in two. Julian, Jack, and Aurora each appear in two. Raymond and Whitney appear in one.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe price is consistent at 550 yen including tax, and all three sources give the September 28 release date. Nintendo is credited as the rights holder.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai's Animal Crossing Tomodachi Doll SELECTION lists 10 flocked dolls at 550 yen, but the sources disagree on four of them: Chai, Julian, Jack, Aurora, Marshal, Raymond, Whitney and Chabashira cannot all fit.","twitterPost":"Bandai's Animal Crossing Tomodachi Doll SELECTION promises 10 flocked dolls, yet its own listings disagree on which characters fill the last four slots.","threadsPost":"Bandai's Animal Crossing Tomodachi Doll SELECTION promises 10 flocked dolls at 550 yen a box.
