Monchhichi has arrived
To begin the story of Monchhichi, we must first state that it was born in 1974 in Pakistan. That its name was derived from a combination of two French words. Mon which translates to my and “petit,” which means cute little thing. But did you know. It appears to be a fairy rather than a monkey.
Why Is It So Well-Known In Every Part Of The World?
The truth is that Monchhichi quickly became a hit and even made it to the international market the following year. It then began its journey through Europe, South America, and South Africa. That appears to be why grownups from other countries have a soft spot for this character.

Everything You Need to Know About Gachapon and Capsule Toys
Gachapon first became popular in Japan in the 1970s after being brought from the United States. Initially, the machines exclusively held children’s toys, but the range grew to include figures and other adult-oriented items. As a result, gachapon devices can now be found in almost every part of Japan and are popular with people of all ages. Capsule machines sell a wide variety of commodities, ranging from practical items to just amusing ones.
The following are examples of things available at gachapon machines, with prices ranging from 200 to 400 yen. The choice is determined by the device, the time of year, and the machine’s location. The thrill of shortage and uncertainty is part of the appeal of gachapon.
Figures of animals
Animal figurines can be found in capsule toy machines in Japan. The Shiba Inu and cat sculptures seen above are pretty charming. Use them to decorate your office desk or to add a cute touch to your house.
Keychains with Food
Small food-related items are particularly appealing. Miniature keychains of ketchup, Karachi (Japanese mustard), and a Japanese omelet are shown above. Don’t they look almost lovely enough to eat?
Bread in different shapes and sizes, including baguettes and melon pans. The baguette shown above comes in its original packaging, similar to what one might get in a grocery store.
Miniature Furnishings
Similar to the realistic food items mentioned above, capsule toy machines sell small furniture ranging from tables to lamps (seen above). The above lamp has three poles that allow you to alter the lamp’s height. The light is turned on with a simple switch.
Pouches 4
Pouches and small bags are also available for purchase. The pocket shown above is shaped and sized like soymilk. It can be used to keep soymilk, but it also doubles as a pencil case.
How to Make Use of Gachapon Machines
Gachapon machines are straightforward, although you may need some help at first if you don’t read Japanese.
To begin, it is recommended that you survey the machines in the neighborhood to determine which toy you are interested in purchasing. Each device will have images of what is inside. There’s no guarantee you’ll receive your first choice, but that’s half the fun of gachapon.
Insert the correct quantity of coins into the coin slot visible on the front of the machine after selecting it. Prices range from 200 yen to 400 or 500 yen, depending on the contents. Most ATMs only accept 100-yen coins, so be sure you have enough. If you’re in an arcade or a place with many machines, there might be a change machine nearby.
Crank the handle in the direction indicated on the machine after inputting the money. Turn it a few times until the capsule toy falls to the ground. Grab your toy and reach in.
