Now that's a good idea

"To deliver 100% you need to share 120%." That's the motto inscribed on one of Nendo's designs for garage-kit and model manufacturer Kaiyodo's new collection of capsule figurines. It's a sentiment that Nendo itself appears to have taken to heart by sharing design advice in the form of tiny figurines.

Kaiyodo has been making collectors' models since the 1960s and has miniaturized everything from manga characters and famous artworks to animals and everyday objects. It's particularly well-known for the small blind-box toys that can be bought from Japan's popular gachapon coin-operated vending machines, which are onomatopoeically named after the sound the dispenser makes when delivering its trinkets.
