@kirinono123 It's a mix of both. I love some of the newer models (like Pikachu) compared to the old ones. But some of the old ones are better than the new models.
I'm looking forward to pokemon generation 10!
@tuuu28283 Usually they have candy/gumballs or very tiny toys in them.
The size of capsule that is in them is very small compared to the gashapon capsule
@tuuu28283 Excellent video! We have gashapon machines here in the USA too, though they are extremely rare.
(A local video game store has a couple).
They are similar (though bigger in size of prize) to the USA's gumball machines
The gumball is a now generic name for them.
