The name is onomatopoeic, derived from two Japanese sounds: &#8220;gasha&#8221; or &#8220;gacha&#8221; for the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and &#8220;pon&#8221; for the toy capsule landing in the collection tray. These machines dispense toys in capsules, and what makes them particularly popular is the element of surprise, as you don&#8217;t know exactly which toy from a series you will get until you open the capsule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first official Bandai Gashapon Store in the Philippines offers a unique Japanese gashapon experience, with a variety of collectibles available from popular anime and other franchises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,10,21,71,3415],"tags":[171,3467,3595,3596],"class_list":["post-17109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bgc","category-taguig","category-souvenir","category-tourist-spot","category-hobby-shop","tag-bgc","tag-mitsukoshi-mall","tag-gashapon","tag-gashapon-bandai-official-shop"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17109"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17120,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17109\/revisions\/17120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
