Merchandise/Gashapon toys: Difference between revisions

'''Gashapon toys''' are toys that are dispensed by {{w|Gashapon}} machines. Gashapon is a brand of machines created by the company [[Merchandise/List of companies#Bandai|Bandai]], and are exclusive to Japan. They are similar to quarter machines found in the US, but are usually more expensive and give higher quality rewards. Each Gashapon machine will have a series associated with it. The toy you obtain will be a random selection from the series you purchased from. Takara Tomy Arts released many Pikmin themed Gashapon series over the span of the series.

===''Pikmin 3'' character collection===

[[Merchandise/List of companies #Takara Tomy Arts|Takara Tomy Arts]] released a collection of keyrings in February 2014 based on ''Pikmin 3''. The keychains are comprised of Red, Yellow, Blue, Winged, and Rock Pikmin types, each with either a lead, bud, or flower, bringing the total number of keychains in this series to 15. They are designed to clip onto each other from top to bottom so that one can create "ropes" of Pikmin. These were common to find in Japanese dollar stores.
