Where To Buy Cute Gachapon Capsule Toys

You’ve probably heard of gachapon (or gashapon) before. At a gachapon machine you can get tiny toys that come inside a capsule. Fun fact: the word comes from the sounds “gacha” for turning the crank by hand, and “pon” for the toy capsule landing in the collection tray. These cute toys are very popular in Japan, but you can also get them from online shops.

Tofu Cute (UK) has recently launched a Gachapon Station section! You can choose from the individual capsules, or Catch-a-Gacha Mix Bags containing a themed set of gachapon. How about these kawaii aquarium animal keychains?

Kawaii Panda (EU) offers a great selection of Japanese gachapon toys at a reasonable price. I think that these make-up bunny miniatures look super cute.

At PebboStudio (USA) you can find individual gachapon toys. These prices are a bit high compared to the shops above, but the collection is very nice. I’m a fan of the Epoch hamster toys, such as this hamster with spoon gachapon.

Ebay is a good place to look for full gachapon sets from Japan at a fair price. Seller d.d.d.shop (Japan) offers many sets, including these 5 pastel circus Cinnamoroll capsule toys.
