Gachapon (ガチャポン), or Gashapon (ガシャポン), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, gacha from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and pon from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs. These often sell-out quickly to collectors and Gachapon enthusiasts. All our Gachapon capsules are directly imported from Japan and sold as collectible / art figurines.
