About the original
The Bandai Gashapon Machine is a full-size retail capsule-toy vending unit of the kind that has been fixtures in Japanese toy shops, train stations, and department stores since Bandai entered the market in 1977 and trademarked the name "Gashapon." Bandai Namco has sold over 3.7 billion Gashapon capsules since launch, typically priced between 100 and 500 yen each. Supreme's FW25 version was loaded with custom prizes and installed in Supreme retail stores for in-store use only, so no unit was sold at retail. Bandai also sells a half-scale home version, the Gashapon Machine Tri, for consumer purchase.
