Rows upon rows!
A few gachapon.
While wandering through the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara we came across a couple rows of these things. Known in Japanese formally as gachapon (ガチャポン) but casually referred to as “gacha gacha” (ガチャガチャ) from the sound the crank makes on the machine. These are the more high quality capsule toys of Japan. Most are based on characters from anime and manga but they come in just about every variety imaginable. For example, the capsules we got are shinkansen (bullet train) puzzles. Sure beats fake gold rings!
