Each capsule costs 300 yen including tax. The second series includes five characters: Human (referred to as Frisk in coverage), Undyne, Toriel, Mettaton, and Annoying Dog in a variant form. Every character comes in two versions, one with a ball chain and one with a crab clasp, producing ten total types. The mascots measure roughly 3.3 cm, with slight variation by design. As the product name suggests, the figures can be linked together using the crab clasps. Pre-orders remain open until September 23 at 23:59, and Bandai plans to ship orders to homes around late December 2026. The items may also appear at capsule vending machines nationwide before that delivery window, depending on local stock. The copyright line on the product cites Toby Fox from 2015 through 2026.","whyItMatters":"This second series expands the previous UNDERTALE gashapon lineup with a dedicated variant of Annoying Dog, a character often used as a running joke in the game, which signals Bandai is mining deeper into the game's cast rather than repeating its first wave.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBandai\u0026#39;s Gashapon Online store opened pre-orders for the UNDERTALE Pinch and Connect Mascot 2 on August 28, 2026, at 11:00 JST.
