Gacha and Gashapon
What is gashapon?
Gashapon is a type of machine that functions like a gumball machine. After depositing a coin in the machine, the crank is turned and the capsule is dispensed. Much likeblindpacking,the toy you receive is completely random. However, since the machine provides the randomization, gashapon capsules can (and often do) have transparent shells. Unlike the cheaper gimmicky capsule toys in America and other Western countries (such as sticky hands and fake teeth), gashapon toys are usually small figures (often based on Japanese anime, manga or video games) with high quality plastic and paint jobs. For these reasons, they're often sought by collectors both in Japan and abroad. Sometimes, there may bechase figuresto give collectors even more incentive to use the machines.
