What is Gacha-Gacha?
Gacha-Gacha is an onomatopoeia (sound) that a Gacha machine makes. But it also refers to a type of activity that involves a chance of luck with Japanese Capsule Toys, better known as Gachapon toys. You can find Gacha-Gacha all over Japan such as street alleys, storefronts, and even at the airport! You’ll find Gacha-Gacha especially in Akihabara Tokyo, the Japanese mecca for amusement and entertainment.
How does it work?
First pick the collection you are interested in. Next, insert the amount of coins needed. Lastly, turn the handle and Gacha-Gacha-Pon! Your gachapon is dispensed and waiting for you.
The game of chance comes into play when you’re aiming for a specific gachapon from the collection. It is truly random as it all depends on the gachapon available in the machine. It is very similar to a ‘blind box’ and a very fun and joyful experience to test your chance of luck.
The Gacha x2 Online Store works similarly like Gacha-Gacha in person. Our ordering systems and procedure will handle the random pick for you just like Gacha-Gacha in person. We quite literally have to turn the Gacha machine handle! You won’t know what you’ll receive (and we won’t either!) until it is packed, and then shipped and received to you.
In case you were wondering, we also showcase Gacha x2 in person with actual Gacha machines at events – and lots of them! We stuff our exhibit booth with as many Gacha machines as possible and everyone absolutely loves it! You can normally find us at Japanese fairs, Anime conventions, Toy conventions, and Night Market events. We will post event info on our Instagram page when an event is coming up.
Are all of your Gachapon from Japan?
Yep! Every. Single. One. Do not unpack, modify, and/or otherwise mishandle any Gachapon. Every order comes with the capsule and everything inside of it, directly from the manufacturer. We also go into further length by stocking Gacha machines with capsules and turning them for each order received. It is a true, genuine Gacha experience.
How often do you stock newly released gachapon?
We stock newly released gachapon approximately once a month. There will be times where new stock may arrive earlier or later than usual.
