History of the Snow Globe Toys
These charming water globe toys were initially introduced in Japan three years ago, in 2022. At that time, they were priced at 300 JPY (around $2.60).As a result of rising demand, collectors will now find themselves paying a slightly higher price when they seek out these delightful collectibles. Each globe captures a unique seasonal scene characteristic of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons island, showcasing beloved villagers, as well as an image of the Island Representative at the Airport and promotional art representing island life. A total of six distinct variations will be available for enthusiasts to collect.
Environmental Considerations
A noteworthy aspect of these gachapon toys is that they require assembly, which contributes to a more sustainable format compared to traditional capsule toys. Instead of arriving in a plastic capsule, buyers will receive the components necessary to create the globe. After filling it with water, you simply set it on its stand for a charming display piece in your home.
