Gachapon (), or Gashapon (), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, gacha from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and pon from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs. These often sell-out quickly to collectors and Gachapon enthusiasts. All our Gachapon capsules are directly imported from Japan and sold as collectible / art figurines.

There are four different Tartigrade figures in this Gachapon series: Brown, Ivory, Yellow and Pink.

Available singly (chosen at random just like a real Gachapon!) or as a full set of four. Original capsules included with all purchases. Please note with all KenElephant capsules, if you purchase a set of four, the seals on the capsules have to be opened to confirm the characters inside make a complete set, but the collectibles will still be sealed in plastic. Singles will be sold fully sealed wherever possible.
