Kapibara-san is a character created by Banpresto.
At the beginning you could only get a Kapibara-san from toy crane vending machines.
But people wanted it so much that they started selling it everywhere,
different sizes, different colors, T-shirts, books and all kinds of merchandising.
It is interesting how they managed to create a phenomenon just from a boring and simple animal (A capybara).
A Capybara! omg worlds apart from my kawaii Kapibarasan, or what i nicknamed 'Tingly"
I first fell in love with it at a claw toy machine in DTE,
and its soo adorable i felt i had to have it!
it was really by chance that baby caught it for me!
we had spent $6 at the machine, and on our last dollar, the claw caught my very first tingly by the scarf!!
BIG white one with the pink scarf (2 from the left, last row) was my very first kapi!
then we 'rescued' her boyfriend, the one in blue scarf beside her a few weeks later.
I like to term it 'rescue' cos its like saving them from the cold, lonely interiors of the toy machine, and showering them with love and care!
This is my collection thus far!
& i'm proud to say, all has been caught by my baby! yep! each and every single one.
whenever we walk past an arcade, the first thing he'll do is to check out if there's any kapi available, cos i'll be soo excited if they're carrying any, and he'll really spend every single $ trying to catch it for me! <3
this is my biggest kapi so far!
its not caught though, baby bought it for me at action city!
first time i've seen kapi on sale! the other annoying thing is that you can't ever buy kapi merchandises, you can only CATCH them/win them. :(
just last monday, baby blew $30 trying to catch a kapi pouch for me, but failed very badly. :(
what a waste of money.. :((
sometimes i wish i wouldn't like it so much, as i know its really a waste of money!
but there's no other way i can get it unless i travel all the way to Japan, and stock up on their merchandises.
caught this bear that day, while attempting to catch a halloween kapi draped in a ghostly costume! failed to win it, and its gone from the machine already! :(
recently, i discovered the FB page for Kapi!
& i found TONS of cool stuff there, things i've never even seen before!!
walking Kapi. baby attempted before but failed. :(
nomnom Kapi! this is the cutest!!!
i love the nomnom kapi! <3
Kapi Mug Warmer. don't talk about this one.
machine was totally rigged! blew $20 on this one for nothing! :/
don't ever go the outlet @ PS.
BATH SET! with its very own kapi sponge!! ^^
Kapi tissue holder!!
i need one of this!
& Kapi even invaded the food industry!
whole range of Kapi Sushi (or whatever the proper name is for it)
haha i don't mind getting paper cuts if it gives me the chance to put one of these on!
cute Kapi Puppy bed! probably the doggy/kitty won't appreciate it, but it looks so soft and squishy!
who wouldn't love cuddling up to it!
& this is one of my favourites!!!
would kill for one of these.

People may have mickey/minnie mouse, i want Kapi at the front of the car!!
Kapi holds a very special place in my heart! <3>:(

he bought a hi-card there! yay! :D
if only he'd call last night, i'd have been able to sleep so soundly.
he's immersing himself with all the great steals & smelly tofu, the last i heard (15 mins ago)
& he got a kapi for me from the capsule machine there! only thing its purple! hahaha.
