Pokémon gachapon toys are small capsule vending machine collectibles that have been popular in Japan since the late 1990s, featuring miniature figures, keychains, and accessories based on the beloved pocket monsters. These high-quality miniatures are typically made of detailed plastic or PVC, sold in opaque capsules that add an element of surprise and excitement to the collecting experience, with fans never knowing which Pokémon they’ll receive until they open their capsule. The toys range from basic standing figures to more elaborate pieces with movable parts or special features, making them sought-after items among both casual fans and serious collectors.
Here are some specific series that I’ve collected and really liked.
