  1. The toys never change “a day after” I got the previous one, I always have to wait on the posted date for the toys to update.

    • I do believe that the day after refers to if you got the previous doll after the release date of the next doll.

      Ex:

      If you don’t get Black Frost until 1/16, then Buchimaru won’t appear in the machine until “a day after” aka 1/17.

  2. I already won 3 toys on crane game, but they haven’t been placed on the work-desk in my room.
    What am I doing wrong and how can they be placed there ?
