What are Gashapon Machines?
Bandai revolutionized the Japanese capsule toy market in 1977. While capsule toys were typically sold for 20 yen at the time, Bandai entered the market with an unprecedented 100 yen price point. Their unique system, named “GashaponR,” comes from the sound of turning the handle “Gasha” and the capsule popping out “Pon.”
