Rare Japanese Commemorative Funassyi Gashapon Figure, in original packaging

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Original Japanese figurine from a Gashapon, depicting the character Funassyi, visible through an unopened transparent plastic bag. The figurine has a rounded, bright yellow shape, with an expressive face: large black eyes adorned with white reflections, an open smiling mouth, and slightly pink cheeks. Funassyi wears a blue outfit with a white collar, a distinct red bow on the front, and a small vertical tag, decorated with Japanese characters, attached to the chest. A stylized green leaf is attached to the side of the head, a characteristic element of the character.

The figurine appears to be composed of several visible elements, including an accessory or an additional part (an arm or a secondary character in a blue dress), also included in the bag. The elements are molded with clear details and bold colors, typical of Japanese capsule toys. No brand logo is visible on the exposed side, but the mention "Funassyi" and the typology confirm the character's identity.

The item is presented in its original, unopened bag, which guarantees the preservation of its original condition and the presence of all visible elements. The surface of the bag is slightly wrinkled but remains transparent, allowing for detailed observation of the figurine without opening. No major defects, breakage, or missing parts are visible through the bag.

Funassyi is a recognized mascot character in Japan, often associated with merchandise and collectibles related to pop culture and Gashapon. The finish features beautifully applied paint, with sharp contrasts between the different parts of the figurine. The arms and legs are stylized, typical of Japanese mascot figurines.

The figurine shows no explicit indication of date or limited edition on the visible side, but the commemorative aspect is suggested by the keywords. The style and presentation are typical of Japanese Gashapon produced since the 2010s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Figurine in its original unopened bag. No defects visible through the packaging.
