KODAMA SANGYO TOY いすみ鉄道 × チャーミーちゃん

The little railway logo on the front is printed way more crisply than I expected for the price. Been collecting these since the 1965 originals were reissued, and this first railway collab sits nicely next to them on the shelf.

I didn't expect the collaboration to look this good in person — the colors on the box art really pop. It's a small thing, but knowing the character has been made since the 1960s makes it feel like a piece of history on my shelf.

The little rail insignia stamped on the charm is way more detailed than the photos let on, and the paint job lines up cleanly on both sides. Been collecting these since the 60s-era ones and this railway tie-in sits nicely next to them on my shelf.
