I thought the pumpkin with legs was the strangest, and the best was the cat glasses holder. Well done guys, great video!

What a fun challenge! I think I would need hours in that store. For the "best category", I go with Phils choice, because I really like cats, and also thats its usefull. For the "weirdest category", I like both choices. Both are cool, and its funny that Amy wanted to find the same Gachapon machine that Phil used.

You really could spend ages in there! Wish I could have found that noodle monster machine again! 😂

2 categories, only 1 winner needed: The pumpkin with legs is just so awesome, a perfect mix of weird and great 🤣

For me the best was the cat glasses holder and strangest was the sitting pumpkin! Definitely a challenge making your choices in such a short space of time - we spent ages faffing in much smaller gachapon shops 😂

It was stressful! 😅😂

I think it's wild that in that entire store you both almost got the noodle monster as one of your picks! I think the best one was the pumpkin sitting down gacha, but the strangest was the noodle monster for sure. So... a draw? I love these gachapon challenges. :)

It's a crazy coincidence isn't it! Wish I'd found that one again!

It's hard to pick the best gachapon, since you both went for cat items...but I think Phil's cat glasses holder is the winner. The strangest one is definitely Amy's pumpkin with legs. I find the idea of vegetables just standing up and walking away quite creepy! 👀🙅‍♀

Now you say that, I'm imagining it too...! 😱

Best - Amy's the winner just for sheer play potential. I would get into so much trouble with that sort of toy on my desk. Weirdest - definitely the pasta monsters. Those are creepy weird.

Best: Amy (conbini 4 life) Strangest: Phil (pumpkin too cute = disqualified)

I like the weird pumpkin and the cute cat basket!

Overall you are both winners however, since I have to choose I think Amy's Convenie Store Gashapon was the best as it is interactive as well as cute. Phil won for strangest as the noodles with faces are kinda scary! The fact that you both chose that in the beginning makes it the sure fire strangest winner. Thanks for another great video. I live vicariously through your Japan trips...happy, happy, happy!

So glad you're enjoying my videos, thank you!

I definitely love the strange little Yumen… I’d like to go to Japan just to get the entire collection… and the kitty conbini set was just delightfully adorable.

I think the best is the cat glasses holder!! But the pumpkin with legs was so funny and strange!

Sorry Amy think Phil got it on both accounts. The cat glasses holder is so cute and really you both chose the food monsters!

It makes me so happy to know that I have finally managed to go there! All of them are the best there is no loosing with Gachapon!

That's a huge store!!!! You could spend an hour at least. I think Phil wins for the Best; I tend to agree with the "utility" idea plus, it's a cute cat!!! Amy wins for Strangest because vegetables with appendages made me think of an old Gilligan's Island episode where they found radiation-treated seeds and grew some weird stuff. Well done, BOTH of you!!! You could turn this into a game show--"Iron Gachapon: Only One Can Win!"

My vote for best: Amy's Nyanmart basket. Phil made a good point about a gacha being useful, but I don't find a glasses holder that useful. Collecting the whole set of Nyanmart items sounds fun. My vote for weirdest: Phil's noodle thing. I think Amy pulled from a good set, unfortunately I think the pumpkin one was the worst of the set. The noodle people things are definitely a little on the weird side. Best=Amy, Weirdest=Phil.

I think the pumpkin with legs is the weirdest and the cat glasses holder is the best. I would definitely buy those to give to my parents

Nyankomarto was the best! Human noodles was the weirdest! ❤

I think Phil won best for the cat glasses one and Amy won the weirdest one but its a good weird one i forgot what she had but it was good !!!!

That store is HUGE!!!! I probably spent an hour in there. I love how you both thought the strangest was the same, so I consider that a tie. Both of you found wonderful choices but I have to vote for Phil's choices.

Great idea! I love you guys! For me the best is Amy‘s conbini basket and the strangest is Phil‘s noodle monster.

best - cat glasses rest. strangest - pumpkin with legs. I kind of like the ramen noodle monsters, sort of mini version of those faux examples of food in windows, plus a monster!

I must agree with Philip's "logic" about the cat glass holder. A practical gacha., especially a very cute one, gets my vote for the best one. 😺And the strangest is the Yuumen . Who wouldn't want one of those🍜. Thanks for the super fun video guys! And don;t worry Amy, you'll get him next time.🏆

I'd love to say it's a tie because I love Nyanko, but if I can't I'd have to give it to Phil for the Yumen noodle monster. I'm planning my first visit to Japan for this year (paws crossed) and I'm obsessed with finding that set of Yumen gachas now. Sunshine City just moved from my "maybe" pile to "definitely".

I really liked the conbini cat with all the little details so I think that's the best, and the noodle monster was really cool and the weirdest one.

The noodle monster was the definite win for the strangest! And the best one was the glasses holder cat!

Both of Phil’s gotchapon was clearly the winner. Sorry.

I think the best overall was Amy's duo - but those cat glasses holders are *adorable*.

My vote for strangest is definitely the noodle monster, and I think Amy's Cat's was the cutest. I know that is a split vote, but I think that your combined efforts yielded the best results. Also, just a guess, the tall sitting vegetable looked like an okra to me. Thank you for all of the great, fun, and informative videos!

I'm travelling to Japan in March, and after seeing this I not only have to check out gachapon - but I have to go hunting for that cat glasses holder (possibly an impossible task, I wonder how many gachapon machines I'll end up exploring!).
