Bandai Namco is bringing a new line of officially licensed PlayStation gashapons to Japanese toy capsule machines.

The keyrings cost ¥500 (~$3.50) apiece and are shaped like the controller from each PlayStation console generation. The novelty here, however, is if you press the start button they’ll play each respective machine’s start-up sound.
This is all part of the brand’s 30th anniversary, which has also seen Ape Escape and Toro Inoue gashapons rollout around the country.
Grabbing one of these will be practically essential if you’re planning a trip to Tokyo anytime soon, then – we recommend the Capcom Capsule Lab in Harajuku for the best selection of toy capsules in the city.

That is genuinely really cool, I love that they play their respective console's start up sound
Can’t imagine how much money im going to spend just for a toys when visiting japan 😂Japan has so much coolers toys and figures 🥹
@amatmulisha Bring an empty suitcase. Seriously.
Should the amount of things Sony is letting Bandai Namco make at the moment be looked at as something more or am I over thinking it?
can u buy this online ?
Just like the Nintendo Museum exclusive keychains!
I’m in the Osaka airport leaving Japan as I type this and I’m so sad I don’t have more room for everything I wanted to buy lol. Also sad/mad that I won’t be able to get one of these while I’m already here!
@Decoy_Snake They clearly have a licensing relationship on games, but this is just normal merch I think.
Ah yes. The iconic start up sounds of the PS1 and PS2.
And the iconic startup sounds of the PS3 onwards: a beep.
Maybe just one…
Love the subtitle @get2sammyb ❤️
@Ryo_Hazuki it can.
Going to Japan from the UK in 9 weeks (not that I’m counting 😄), will be my first time in Japan and I genuinely can’t wait.
A little scared how much I’m going to spend on buying things , but this is most definitely added to the list!
Also the NieR 15th anniversary exhibition by pure chance opens while I’m there… excitement levels are officially off the charts! 😁
@Shaunholio Changed my mind.
"you're not going to Hong Kong!"
@Haruki_NLI That's not even true. PS3, PS4, PS5 all have startup sounds that are not just a beep.
@Haruki_NLI You are completely wrong on that.
There were Ape Escape ones????? Dammit!! I'd have been all over them if I'd known when I was there in March!
If they still there when I go soon, Imma get some!
Off topic, kinda, we got the ps 1,2,3,4 themes back on the ps5. I chose the ps1 theme, but I get the ps5 startup screen. Is that normal?
I want one of each :/
@Ryo_Hazuki aah okay, I thought they added the option back. My bad.
I want one. Where can I hear the sounds?
@Haruki_NLI yeah that beep is the most remembered coz I don't remember any other start up sounds. I know there was, just only remember the beep lol.
