So recently I've been on a bit of a capsule toys (gacha) binge. I dunno why.. Actually, I do; they are pretty neat and can be remarkably well designed within their limitations and feel that they aren't appreciated enough.

When I did a search around for information on them, I didn't really find a whole heap. Youtube-wise it primarily consists of :
"Wow, check out this crazy stuff I bought"
and it's a whole video of waffling and random things all over the place, with an opening and a quick look then a throw to the side and the next thing.

I thought to myself, gacha deserves better than this. Therefore I have tried to make some more focused videos on them.

Sadly though part of my momentum has dropped due to a computer change (and therefore set-up) and so I'm hoping a bit of dialog with others will rekindle the fire to get my lazy butt back in action.

Here is a link to my playlist below.

And to inspire a bit of er, something, here is a link to Bandai's gacha website, just so people can have a quick browse and see what kind of stuff is around.

That is not all that's about as well, there appears to be a... plethora of companies, some with an online presence, some without, kicking around the place. Some in Japan and some not.

It feels to me like it's a golden age of gacha at the moment not, there are shops set up that have the whole floor space designed for gacha! I went to one place that claimed to have 2200(ish) machines and spent an entire morning walking around it. Only bought one for me though, ha ha ha.


Anyhoo, lets talk capsule toys!
