I would love to get a few of these and put them in some of the local comic book shops. Some of these toys are down right amazing! The first time I saw these was when I was in japan a few years ago. The Gashapon (I think that’s a Japanese onimonipea, they make a distinctive sound when the knob is turned) machines were dotted in various locations, hobby shops, grocery stores, and even an entire store devoted to them. The place was set up like a laundromat, machines on in four rows two high. It was wild. The place must have been some sort of fan hang out, there was a cosplay shop a few floors above it.
I wonder how you go about getting the toys in bulk so you can stock your own machines.
