Types of gashapon

Blind-boxes

In recent years, the term gashapon has also come to refer to "blind-box" trading figures, which are essentially the same product sold randomly out of sealed packages instead of a machine.

Bottle cap figures

Another variety of gashapon is bottle cap figures. These small figures are mounted atop a plastic bottle cap, as might be found on a twenty ounce soda bottle. They are sold both in machine capsules and blind boxes. The caps are not fully functional as they do not have screw threads to secure them to the mouth of the bottle.

Video games

Gashapon machines and their random payouts have inspired trinket-collection mini-games in many videogames, most notably the Legend of Zelda series' similarly-named "Gasha Trees" in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, and, to a much higher extent, the random figurine payout in The Minish Cap. Gashapon have also appeared in some Mario games such as Mario Party 5 and well as Super Smash Bros. Melee where the player inserts a desired amount of coins and gets a trophy of a Nintendo-related nature in return. In both The Minish Cap and Super Smash Bros. Melee, the more the player spends in one go, the higher the chance of getting a new item in return. The bonus stage in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is also gashapon inspired.

The gashapon concept is taken to the next level in SD Gundam Gashapon Wars, a game based on the SD Gundam television series, in which a gamer can activate extra characters from the game by buying certain series of SD Gundam gashapon toys in real life, namely SD Full Color STAGE:61, then use the password bundled with the toy to unlock the corresponding character in the video game. This is the same marketing tactic used by Kinder Surprise for the online surprises, except there is no online access involved.

In the online Massively Multiplayer Online Game Maplestory the gachapon is used as a gambling type machine, wherein players can purchase with real money tickets which, when used at the gachapon, will allow the player to receive a random item of random value.
