Personally, the Warring States period is extremely fascinating and I hope that the extraordinary lives that these five famous samurai<\/a> held and the overall historical period is as interesting to you as it is for me. The backstory of the man behind Osaka Castle<\/a> and timeline of the castle itself can really express the value of remembering the past. With that, I am excited to see that those five samurai have their own figure. Now, only one question remains, how to get them?<\/p>\n

Samurai Figure Collection produced by BANDAI<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seeing as we just talked about Osaka Castle, I\u2019d like to show you exactly how to buy one of these awesome figures at the itself. One of the machine will be on the first floor of the Osaka Castle Museum Shop. In case you won\u2019t be visiting the Kansai area or just won\u2019t be able to see the castle, there will be list of other locations where you can get the figures at the end of the article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.Find Gashapon<\/h2>\n

First, an introduction to the mechanism for those who aren\u2019t familiar with it. The figures are inside of something called a Gashapon, which is basically a vending machine that dispenses toys in a capsule. I\u2019ll be showing how to use one of these specifically for the Bandai samurai collection featured in these past articles!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.Insert Coins<\/h2>\n

After that, it\u2019s extremely important to remember to have the exact coinage on you. Not in any assortment either, exact change in 100 yen coins. Prices range depending on the Gashapon and what\u2019s inside. Needless to say, the price goes up as overall quality of the prize increases. Remember, for this Gashapon product, you\u2019ll need three 100 yen coisn, the other four 100 yens coins exactly.
\nNote: Prices may vary by the Gashapon product.<\/p>\n

3.Twist the lever<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll put that money into the slot and twist it right 360 degrees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Inserting<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just like a childhood gumball machine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The prize has dropped into the slot at the bottom left of the machine. Now, reach in and claim your prize!<\/p>\n

4. Take the Capsule<\/h2>\n

If you have a little trouble opening the capsule, find the little lock-like mechanism on the side and pinch that in, then open it up.<\/p>\n

5. Take out the Figure then assemble it<\/h2>\n

An interesting part of this Gashapon is that you get to put this one together!<\/p>\n

6. Take a picture in front of \u00a0the castle!<\/h2>\n

Look! It\u2019s Sanada Yukimura, back to defend Osaka Castle!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sanada<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope that you enjoy finding your favorite hero from the Warring States period!<\/p>\n
