	Gashapon is a type of machine that functions like a gumball machine. After depositing a coin in the machine, the crank is turned and the capsule is dispensed. Much like [[blindpacking]], the toy you receive is completely random. However, since the machine provides the randomization, gashapon capsules can (and often do) have transparent shells. Unlike the cheaper gimmicky capsule toys in America and other Western countries (such as sticky hands and fake teeth), gashapon toys are usually small figures (often based on Japanese anime, manga or video games) with high quality plastic and paint jobs. For these reasons, they're often sought by collectors both in Japan and abroad. Sometimes, there may be [[chase figure]]s to give collectors even more incentive to use the machines.

'''Gacha''' is the trademarked name [[TakaraTomy]] uses for their gashapon products, largely because their arch-competitor [[Bandai]] owns the "Gashapon" trademark in the United States.

==Gacha and Gashapon==
===What is gashapon?===
Gashapon is a type of machine that functions like a gumball machine or a toy dispensing machine. After depositing a coin in the machine, the crank is turned and the capsule is dispensed in a few seconds. Much like [[Blindpacking|blindpacking]], the toy you receive is completely random. However, gashapon capsules may have transparent parts, since the machine provides the randomization rather than the packaging. Unlike the cheaper toys seen in most American capsule toys, gashapon toys are usually small figures with high quality plastic and painting. Because of these reasons, they're often sought by collectors. The figures are mostly based on Japanese manga and video games.

In regards to Transformers, however, it was very rare for Transformers figures to be placed in Gacha machines. The first (and only, so far) time it ever happened was for the [[Arms Micron|Arms Microns]].
