What is Gachapon?

Gachapon (ガチャポン), also called Gashapon (ガシャポン), is a variety of vending machine-dispensed capsule toys popular in Japan. Similar to the United States coin-op toy vending machines seen outside of grocery stores and other retailers. The difference is US coin-op vending machine toys are usually filled with cheap, low-quality products. While Japanese Gachapon usually offers high-quality products. Gachapon are often constructed from high-grade PVC plastic, are more detailed, and sold as part of a limited run series.

These are not simply toys: they are collector's items, with rare ones fetching extremely high prices.

Gachapon is fun for all ages! They are great to collect and make for perfect small gifts!
