Efforts to reduce plastic use
BANDAI Namco Group has developed the first environmentally friendly capsule in the capsule toy industry's history to contain calcium carbonate. Compared to conventional capsules, plastic usage is about half that of conventional capsules.
Furthermore, we are working to reduce plastic waste by eliminating capsules altogether, such as by creating figures where the capsule is part of the figure itself or one that can be used as a base.
It comes out without a capsule. 
The capsule becomes part of the figure! 
The capsule itself becomes the case! 
The capsule transforms!
