Pretty Cure charm and packaging set hits gashapon in November
The fifth wave brings together five historic transformation devices in ten versions, with ball chain or crab clasp.
Juan Castillo 24 October 2026
The Pretty Cure franchise expands its gashapon line with a new batch of metal charms that reproduce transformation devices from several generations. The Pretty Cure All Stars Henshin Diecast Charm & Package 5 set will go on sale in Japan's capsule vending machines starting November 2026, according to Collabo Cafe.
It's the fifth entry in a series that combines two pieces in each capsule: the die-cast charm and a miniature package that imitates the toy's original blister. A format designed for those who already collect this type of merchandise and don't want just the loose pendant.
This time there are five transformation devices. The Heartful Commune in its two versions, Cure Black's and Cure White's, from Futari wa Pretty Cure. Also the Wonderful Pact, the Shiny Cats Pact, and the Idol Heart Brooch, pieces that fans of more recent seasons will recognize right away.

It only says distribution starts in November and may vary by region or store, which is common in the Japanese gashapon circuit, where restocks don't reach all machines at the same time.
The price per pull doesn't appear in the published information either. We'll have to wait for distribution to start to know that detail.
The charm line with packaging already has four previous entries, and the formula remains intact: small pieces, faithful to the series' designs, with that extra of the miniature blister that sets them apart from any old keychain. For anyone who collects Pretty Cure, the fifth wave is one more piece of the puzzle.
Does this collection appeal to you, or did you already get lost with the previous four? Tell me in the comments which of the five transformation devices you'd still need to get.
