What gachapon is
In Japan, gachapon are vending machines that dispense a plastic capsule with a small figure inside for a coin. The name imitates the sound: "gacha" for the crank turning, "pon" for the capsule dropping.
The lines are designed for collecting: each has a fixed number of designs, and the point is to complete the set. Despite the small size, detail on many lines is remarkable.
Worth knowing
- Size — usually 3 to 7 cm. These are shelf and desk figures rather than cabinet pieces.
- Random or chosen — some lines are random. Where the design can be chosen, we say so.
- Small parts — not suitable for young children.
- Assembly — many arrive in two or three pieces that clip together without glue.
