Example Sentences

"“Gachapon” refers both to vending machines and the capsule toys they spit out. When you crack open one of these plastic eggs, you’ll never know what you’ll get even though it’s part of a defined set of toys."
"“Gashapon” or “gachapon” are stacked on top of each other from Gacha x2. The name “gachapon” derived from the sound of the wheel turning (“gacha”) and when the toy capsule lands in the collection tray (“pon”). It is very similar to America’s toy-vending machines, except these are known for their unique toys,"
