Tarlin announced a new gashapon capsule machine collection for Japan that involves collecting a PC case and replicas of various parts from major manufacturers to build a tiny computer tower. It will launch on October 21, 2026. Each try will cost 500 yen (~$3). Since this collection isn’t being made by a company like Bandai Namco, we probably won’t see it worldwide.
Each of these items is a tiny replica apparently designed to fit in the PC case, with the final example image for the collection showing each of the three motherboards in this series placed inside it. When you get a capsule, you can end up with one of five items inside. One is the black PC case. A motherboard and its package could be inside it, with the three options there being an ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi, a Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Elite WiFi 7 Plus, or an MSI MEG Z890 ACE. Finally, the fifth option someone could get is an Intel Core Ultra 7 270k Plus CPU that can fit on any of those three motherboards, a CPU cooler, and a case fan.
Tarlin shared official photos of all the items in the set. Note that due to the size, it is quite possible you’d need a pair of tweezers in order to assemble this tiny PC replica if you collect enough parts.
It isn’t uncommon to see replicas of consoles, computers, or games in gashapon or gachapon capsule machines in Japan. One collection involved miniature versions of PlayStation systems. We’ve also seen tiny versions of game cases.
The Tarlin PC replica gacha that lets you build a tiny desktop tower you can hold in your hand will show up in Japan starting on October 21, 2026.
