Ken Elephant’s 2027 Capsule Toy Lineup Is INSANE — Junji Ito Vol.2, Frozen Mammoth & More Just Dropped! 🎰

Okay collectors, LISTEN UP. Ken Elephant just blew the lid off their 2027 capsule toy lineup and honestly? The gashapon gods are NOT playing around this time. We’re talking 10 brand-new releases dropping around January 2027, plus 4 restock confirmations for February 2027. If you’ve been sleeping on Ken Elephant, this is your wake-up call. ☕👀

🎰 What Is Ken Elephant and Why Should You Care?

For the uninitiated — Ken Elephant (ケンエレファント) is one of Japan’s most consistently fire capsule toy makers. They’ve got a killer eye for collaborating with indie artists, cult IPs, and underground characters that you simply cannot find anywhere else. Their drops sell out fast, resell even faster, and the quality? Chef’s kiss. 🤌

Now let’s break down everything that was just teased on their official X account.

🆕 New Releases — Dropping Around January 2027 (10 Items!)

🔥 Junji Ito Goods Vol.2 — The One Horror Fans NEED

Let’s be real — this is the headliner of the entire drop. Junji Ito Goods Vol.2 is the follow-up to what was already an insanely popular capsule series from the master of Japanese horror manga himself. We’re talking official Junji Ito merch in gashapon form, priced at just 400 yen per capsule / 440 yen per blind box. That’s criminally affordable for something this iconic. The Vol.1 sold out everywhere, and Vol.2 is going to be even more brutal to track down. Pre-order the 6-pack now if you know what’s good for you. 💀🌀

🦣 Frozen Mammoth (冷凍マンモス) — Prehistoric Vibes Are Back

Frozen Mammoth is giving major quirky-cool energy. This one’s a 500 yen capsule / 550 yen blind box release with a 4-pack option available for pre-order. If you’re into that weird, charming Japanese designer toy aesthetic, this is absolutely one to watch. The concept alone is already winning. 🧊🦴

🦕 Jurassicnas Plush Mirror Figure Collection (ジュラシックナス ぬいミラー フィギュアコレクション)

Dinos + mirrors + figures? Only in Japan, fam. Jurassicnas is back with a brand new plush mirror figure collection at 500 yen per capsule, with a 6-pack blind box option available. Prehistoric aesthetic meets desk accessory energy — we are SO here for it. 🦖

🎎 DOLLSSAN KEBIN Collection Vol.2

The cult favourite DOLLSSAN KEBIN collection is getting its second volume and it comes with Ken Elephant exclusive bonus goods 🎁 — always a massive deal for collectors. At 500 yen per capsule / 550 yen blind box, grab the 6-pack before it’s gone. These character designs are hauntingly addictive.

🐱 beco+81 Small Face Figure Charm — Nyanzu Ver.

Cat lovers, your gashapon has arrived. The beco+81 小顔矯正 Figure Charm Nyanzu Version is the cat-themed entry in this drop, also sitting at the standard 500 yen capsule / 550 yen blind box price point. The 6-pack pre-order is live. Cute, compact, and absolutely shelf-worthy. 🐾

😴 Good Sleep Figure Collection (グッドスリープ フィギュアコレクション)

Good Sleep figures are giving cozy sleepy-time vibes and we love it. This one even has Ken Elephant limited exclusive bonuses 🎁 included. Priced at 500 yen per capsule, with a 4-pack blind box pre-order available. Perfect for those of us who relate to sleeping as a personality trait. 💤

👾 Kaiju Booska Soft Vinyl Mascot (快獣ブースカ よいこのソフビマスコット)

This one is a THROWBACK. Kaiju Booska — the beloved classic tokusatsu character — is getting a soft vinyl mascot treatment and honestly it looks incredible. Here’s the kicker: it stands at a massive 13cm tall, with rotating shoulders AND neck. A complete box of all 4 variants is available for pre-order. This is the kind of vintage-meets-modern drop that vintage collectors go absolutely feral over. 🎌

🌍 Daichi no Ko Plush Mascot (大地の子 ぬいぐるみマスコット)

Artist LeeeeeeToy’s character “Daichi no Ko” is getting a full plush mascot treatment — and the sizing sounds delightfully chunky. A complete set of all 6 variants is available, priced at 1,500 yen per box. The emphasis on “volume you can feel the moment you hold it” has us extremely intrigued. 🌎🧸

😮 Pachimono no Tomodachi! Soft Vinyl Mascot (パチもんのトモダチ！ よいこのソフビマスコット)

Artist SIO’s The TOMODACHI! character line is dropping an official “knockoff” soft vinyl mascot — and that self-aware absurdist energy is genuinely hilarious and genius. All 4 variants are available as a complete set at 1,500 yen per box. This is peak Japanese designer toy culture and we are obsessed. 😂🎭

🐾 baccan ORBY Figure Collection

Rounding out the new releases is the baccan ORBY Figure Collection, which comes with a deluxe complete box option and Ken Elephant exclusive bonuses 🎁. Priced at 500 yen per capsule / 880 yen per blind box — note the premium blind box pricing, which hints at some seriously elevated packaging or contents. Pre-orders are already live! ✨

🔄 Restocks — Coming Around February 2027 (4 Items!)

⏰ Don’t Sleep On This

Here’s the thing about Ken Elephant drops — they always sell through. The Junji Ito Vol.2 alone is going to cause chaos in the collector community the moment it officially hits machines. And for international fans, getting these through trusted Japanese retailers is going to be your only realistic option unless you’re physically in Japan cranking gachapons in Akihabara with the rest of us. 🗼

The January 2027 timeline gives you some runway, but pre-orders are already live on multiple items, so the smart move is to lock in your orders NOW before stock allocations disappear.

Where to Buy & Pre-order

For international collectors, your two most trusted options for sourcing authentic Ken Elephant capsule toy items from Japan are Solaris Japan and CDJapan — both are 100% legit, ship worldwide, and consistently carry Japanese exclusive merch that you simply cannot find on Western retail platforms. Don’t risk bootlegs. Go direct from Japan. 🇯🇵
