Collection Includes Mini Arcade Cabinet That Plays Game Sounds","summary":"Bandai will release a new Gashapon line, the Mobile Suit Gundam EXVS. (Extreme Versus) Assort Collection, starting in the second week of July. The top prize, the A prize, is a miniature game cabinet that reproduces the arcade cabinet of the EXVS. series and plays actual game sounds. Two variations of the cabinet will be available. The B prize consists of four swing cases featuring newly illustrated designs. The C prize offers eight acrylic stands printed with key visuals from the series' history. Each play costs 400 yen including tax. The collection will be sold through Gashapon machines and is part of Bandai's capsule toy lineup. The miniature cabinet is the headline item, designed to appeal to collectors who want a desktop-sized replica of the arcade hardware that the EXVS. fighting game series runs on.","whyItMatters":"The miniature cabinet with functional game sound is a rare physical tie-in for a long-running arcade fighting game franchise that has never had a home console release of its latest entries, making it one of the few ways to own a piece of the EXVS. arcade experience.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBandai\u0026#39;s upcoming Gashapon Assort Collection for Mobile Suit Gundam EXVS. centers on a miniature arcade cabinet that plays game sounds, a novelty item for a series that has remained primarily in Japanese arcades. The A prize cabinet comes in two types, though the sources do not specify how they differ. The B prize swing cases, a standard Gashapon format, feature newly commissioned illustrations rather than reused art. The C prize acrylic stands pull from past key visuals, giving the lineup a range of price-point appeal from the high-end cabinet to the more affordable stands. The collection launches in the second week of July at 400 yen per play. No exact release date or retail locations beyond standard Gashapon machines have been announced. The EXVS. series, published by Bandai Namco, has seen limited home releases, with the most recent console title being Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON in 2020, making this capsule toy one of the few current merchandise items directly tied to the arcade hardware itself.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai's new Gashapon for Gundam EXVS. has an A prize that's a miniature arcade cabinet that plays game sounds.
