Bandai Namco updated its lineup of upcoming Gashapon items, and capsule machines will stock PocketStation keychains with Doko Demo Issyo imagery and game references on the screen. Each one is a replica of either the transparent or white peripheral and memory card. Each try will cost 400円 (~$3). They are expected to launch in Japan the week of January 25, 2026. Since Bandai Namco does maintain Gashapon kiosks worldwide and past PlayStation items such as the past controller ones did appear in the US and Canada, these could eventually appear in other regions.
There are nine possible designs someone can get in this keychain collection Five of them feature white PocketStations with characters and scenes that would come up from the Doko Demo Issyo game on them. Four are transparent ones. Each one’s bottom part can flip up to reveal the “memory card” element below. The white designs feature three with Toro, one with Pierre Yamamoto, and one with R. Suzuki. The transparent ones involve two with Toro, one with Jun Mihara, and one with Ricky.
Here’s how all nine will look. Each has a ball-chain keychain at the top.
This isn’t the only recent PocketStation and Doko Demo Issyo revival. Bandai Namco and Sony teamed up for a plush replica of the peripheral. That appeared in Banpresto Crane Games as a prize in Japan in October 2025.
The Doko Demo Issyo PocketStation keychains will appear in Bandai Namco Gashapon machines in Japan the week of January 25, 2026. It’s unknown when or if we’ll see them worldwide.
