These are fighting/collecting toys that still have a small but dedicated fanbase online in the Western world. There is a spinning rod on the side of this device that you use to “reel in” monsters when you happen to find them. These seem to be programmed to show up at different times during the day, so you will need to check the screen periodically to see if there are any around. They can also be connected to fight and trade with friends.
