Gashapon!
 

I'm sorry, the announcement calling it a Gumball Machine bugs me.. ^^, The machines that give out prizes like that are called Gasha or Gashapons (Gacha Machines here in my area) Gumball Machines have.. GUMBALLS.. that kill your jaw... x-x omg those evil gumballs...


But yea.. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW ADDICTIVE THOSE THINGS ARE D:<!!! Why would you do this to me Staff?!

Now give me all your Silver Coins to feed my Gashapon Addiction >->,

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A GASHAPON
y u lie 2 me

No! My silver coins! All for me!

I totally had a thing for these machines when I was a kid, especially ones that spat out stickers or sticky hands. Or balls of goo.

Don't blame me I called it a gacha machine D:

My favorite things from those machines, was always the little capsule everything was kept in. I dubbed them anything from "item lottery" to "gacha ball things" to "that thing which has random stuff in it."

I still call them gumball machines. Even though only one of eight actually had gumballs in them.

I see this corgi around and I want one! Corgi corgi corgi.

I frickin' love Gashapon! The capsules are adorable, and sometimes the prizes are incredibly cute. :3

Hey now I want the coins too!!! I even dug out my laptop that I never use anymore just for this....dont be greedy and keep them all to yourself!!!

Gashapon is weird to me! But then, 'blind bags' are weird to me, too. We always just called them "grab bags."

Same here grab bags or mystery bags here

Hey for all you know there are gumballs in the machine too!

The page itself is called a Gachapon, you'll notice. :P

i've always called it a gumball machine... whether it had gumballs in it or not. =)

Southern thing maybe? Cause vending machines are the ones with Coke in them while gumball machines are the turny ones. I never heard of Gacha machines til…. about 2 months ago

tiva, i never heard of a Gacha machine until .... ten minutes ago? XD

I honestly had never called them gachapon. Didn't even know that gachapon was a real thing until I saw it used outside of one of my other sites....
I just called them toy or sticker machines if they didn't have gum. (Still do really.)
