search GashaponGashapon (ガチャポン in katakana - more accurately
gachapon)
also referred to as "trading toy"
is a Japanese onomatopoeia
made up of o sounds: "gacha" for the turning of a crank on a toy vending machine
and "pon" for the sound of the toy capsule dropping into the receptacle. It is used to describe both the machines themselves
and any toy obtained from them. Gashapon machines are similar to the coin-op toy vending machines seen outside of grocery stores and other retailers in the United States. While coin-op vending toys are usually cheap
low-quality products
sold for a quarter or 50 cents
Japanese Gashapon can cost anywhere from 100 - 500 yen (Equal to $1–$5 US) and are normally a much higher quality product. They are often constructed from high-grade PVC plastic
and contain more molding detail and carefully painted features. However
these are not simply toys: they are collector's items
with rare ones fetching extremely high prices. Gashapon toys are often based on popular character licenses from Japanese manga
video games
anime and popular icons. These highly detailed toys based on popular culture icons have found a large following among *** s in Japan
and the trend is filtering to the West with other popular culture influences such as anime and manga. It is not at all unmon to see sets based on licenses explicitly for *** s
with figures of naked or near-naked women. 2006-11-05 22:48:48 補充： 轉蛋，或扭蛋，是壹種源於日本的玩具。壹個轉蛋的典型內容是壹個可以打開成兩半的塑膠蛋殼，在裏面裝有玩具和說明書。
