New Nikon Gashapon (ガシャポン) vending machine-dispensed capsule toys are now available in Japan. From Wikipedia: “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 toys that originated in the 1960s,[1] it became popular in Japan and elsewhere. Gashapon is onomatopoeic from 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.[2] Gashapon is used for both the machines themselves and the toys obtained from them.” Additional information on the “Nikon Miniature Collection” (who can get me some?): The post New Nikon Gashapon (vending machine-dispensed capsule toys) now available for sale in Japan appeared first on Nikon Rumors.
