Ape Escape Machiboke Gachapon Capsule Collectible by Bandai

Ape Escape Machiboke Gachapon Capsule Collectible by Bandai. Highly collectible and authentic Japanese gachapon capsule containing one of 4 Ape Escape Machiboke characters.

Ape Escape is a landmark 3D platformer series from Japan Studio that debuted in 1999 on the original PlayStation. It is widely celebrated for being the first video game to require the DualShock or Dual Analog controller, revolutionising how players interact with 3D environments. The series centres on a mischievous white-haired monkey named Specter who discovers Peak Point Helmet (Pipo Helmet) that grants him super-intelligence. He builds an army of Pipo Monkeys and uses a time machine to scatter them throughout history to rewrite the past so that apes rule the world.

Gachapon (ガチャポン), or Gashapon (ガシャポン), are highly collectible items sold randomly in capsules from Japanese vending machine. The name gachapon comes from the sound the capsule makes sounds, gacha from the sound of turning the hand-cranking action of a toy-vending machine, and pon from the sound the toy capsule makes when it lands in the collection tray. Each month a new series of Gachapon designs are released from Japanese manufacturers such as Bandai, Tomy and Koro Koro, including licensed popular characters, artist collaborations, Japanese foodstuffs, cats, and other kawaii designs. These often sell-out quickly to collectors and Gachapon enthusiasts. All our Gachapon capsules are directly imported from Japan and sold as collectible / art figurines.

There are four Ape Escape characters in this Gachapon series: Piposaru, Piposal, Piposaru (yellow pants) and Piposal (white pants).

Available singly (chosen at random just like a real Gachapon!) or as a full set of four. Original capsules included with all purchases.
