Update: April 13, 2007
«©NCSX» The Animal Crossing House Gashapon toys have been the best selling capsule toys for the past year and Yujin capitalizes on the series once again. Featuring new characters and a new assemblage of trinkets to place inside the houses, the homes add to collectors' Animal Crossing neighborhoods. Please note the houses in Series 3 are the same design as the ACH Series 2 pre-fabs but the roofs are now colored yellow, orange, purple, and green as opposed to regulation-issue red.

The houses are identical to each other except for the color of the roof and the furniture inside. Every house is furnished with a unique bed and a chair to complement the whimsical homes along with paper rugs and wallpaper. Six styles of toys are available - four characters with houses and two character sets which feature two animals each along with pieces of furniture. Think of the character sets as potential house guests with their own furnishings.

The animals featured in this set are as follows: Apollo, Alberto, Sari, Bouquet, Seiuchi, Mr. Resetti, Tanukichi, and Tsunekichi. NCS supplies the AXing House product in a complete set of all 6 toys at US$26 per set.

» Once the foundation is together, locate the side walls and front portion of the home. Plug them into the receptacles on the floor. Next, plant down the three portions of the white picket fence. Each capsule includes a three-sided piece of cardboard wallpaper and a little paper rug. Throw those inside the house for some color.

» The roof of the home consists of two pieces and a chimney which plugs into the back roof portion. Mount these on top of the home and then plug the awning into the front of the house. DONE.

» The front door of each house won't swing freely and grudgingly opens and closes due to tight hinges.

» The rug has a little bit of double stick tape underneath to attach it to the floor of the home. The wallpaper does not include any double stick tape but if you fold it out flat before putting it inside, it will push against the walls with a good amount of tension which makes tape unnecessary.

» The individually packaged gashapon are as follows:

1) House with Yellow Roof where the alligator named Alberto (Alfonso) resides. The furnishings are a robot-themed bed and an easy chair.
2) House with Orange Roof which the eagle known as Apollo calls home. The furniture consists of a traditional poster bed and quaint chair.
3) House with Purple Roof with a purple cat named Bouquet (Rosie). The furnishings are melon-cut chair and a yellow-melon-looking bed
4) House with Green Roof which elephant Sari (Sally) calls crib. There's a snowman theme for both the chair and the bed
5) Tanukichi (Tom Nook) and Tsunekichi (Crazy Redd) share a watermelon chair, an apple clock, a snowman bureau, and a snowman lamp.
6) Mr Resetti and a purple walrus named Seiuchi (Wendell) own a widescreen tv, a yellow boom box, a low-to-the-ground table, and a clock that's designed to look like a birdhouse.

» The parts and characters of each Animal Crossing House Gashapon toy are crammed into a little plastic capsule. The main characters such as alligator and cat are mounted on plastic square stands. Due to the cramming of parts inside a capsule, the characters may be tilted forward, backwards, or to the side due to pressure impacted upon it by a part inside the capsule. We have no control over this. It happens during manufacturer packaging. If you purchase this item, please be aware that cat, eagle, and alligator may be tilted forward or backwards or even leftwards on its stand.

» This item is also known as Animal Crossing House Gashapon Movie Version.
