Q&A

What is Gashapon?

Gashapon (ガシャポン), also called gachapon (ガチャポン), is a trademark of Bandai. Among the variety of vending machine-dispensed capsule toy that originated in the 1960s, it became popular in Japan and elsewhere. "Gashapon" is onomatopoeic from the two sounds "gasha" (or "gacha") for the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and "pon" for the toy capsule landing in the collection tray. "Gashapon" is used for both the machines themselves and the toys obtained from them

When ordering Gashapons Mystery box or Gashapon in bulk, do I get to choose which one I get from the collection?

For the Mystery box you will get 6 random Gashapons from 6 different Gashapon series that will be changing out every month so you won’t be able to choose which one you get, it is all random, since originally the idea of Gashapon is you get a random capsule toys from the machine.
For bulk orders, we can’t guarantee the exact number of toys you are getting from each collection, that means for example if you are ordering 100 Gashapons from BOGC - 038, it has 5 different toys from the collection, you are going to get 100 of them but you may not get an even quantity from each model, and you don’t get to choose which toy or the amount of toy you are getting from the collection, since the idea of Gashapon is you get a random capsule toys from the machine, even when we order them from vendor, they all come randomly. Any Gashapon orders come randomly, we can’t guarantee which one you will receive.
