Bandai Official Gashapon Machine Tray (Tentative)

A satisfying alternative if you have a gashapon addiction but don't live in Japan. It comes with four plastic coins to use and a collection tray that just slips out of the back. This machine only works with small gacha capsules so keep that in mind. But it really scratches an itch and looks great on my bookshelf.

Works great! It's easy to operate and not too big or heavy, so it's easy to transport. I used it at a small scale zine show and the attendees really loved it!

Item came in perfectly packed. It comes with 6 gashapon balls that you can pack with prizes of your choice. It also comes with about 5 play yen coins that you can use to get the gashapons out of the machine. Please note the machine will also take real coins. It's really a well made item and an official bandai product. I also love that the paper insert can be changed--you can print out pictures for any occasion to make it mirror what the prizes are inside or for holidays, etc. This thing is a blast and is just like the machines in Japan. LOVE THIS ITEM!

Works great and looks great!

The media could not be loaded. I’ve utilize this machine for mystery prizes while vending at events. I switched out the capsules to a transparent blue that’s slightly bigger than the initial capsules they come with. It fits just right, but it’s a little tight on coming out of the hole. I do wish it had more than four tokens, and it seems they don’t really sell replacements for it. I’ve followed what others have said and purchased play money nickels to use just in case. I might buy more in the future!

Was able to purchase one of these before the prices went up and I'm glad I did! I'm currently using this as a desk decoration, but will be using it for holiday parties as these are perfect for drawings. I wish it came with a couple more capsules (wish I hadn't thrown out mine from the Gashapon machines when I was in Japan) but other than that, a fun toy/decoration to have!

The media could not be loaded. Bought this for business use and it paid itself off when I brought it to a market. Shame that the coins only come in a pack of 4 and are hard to find also the capsules are a weird oblong size, but they hold items perfectly and securely as they unscrew versus popping open. Assembly was pretty straightforward, but the instructions came in Japanese as they should. Machine is of high quality and made to last.

Didn't know it doesn't fit the bigger capsule before I pull the trigger to buy it ... kind of disappointed.It will only fit small toy which limited what i can put in it :(Though the build quality is great! it feel satisfied to put in coins and turns it.random sidenote , us quarter will fit coin hole too
