The Akihabara Gachapon Challenge is back! We go hunting in Akihabara, Tokyo, for the best and strangest gashapon capsule toys!
We first did this challenge in 2018 (here's the video: • Akihabara Gachapon Cha... ). There's just 20 minutes to search Akiba (the anime/manga/gaming centre of Tokyo) for the best and strangest gachapon we can find. It's not a lot of time! We found lots of cute, kawaii, funny and bizarre gacha - I hope you enjoy them! And you can win the gachapon we found! Comment with which you think is the best, and which is the strangest. I'll be picking one comment at random to win the gachapon. The closing date's Thursday 10th September 2020, and you can enter from any country in the world. Keep an eye on your notifications because I'll be notifying the winner by replying to your comment. Good luck!

I think Amy won in both departments because the little purple animal was sooo cute! and the mushroom person was so funny and relatable

@thislittlebird3850 3 жыл бұрын

Venus Fly Trap is the coolest and strangest. Plus you can never have enough pouches! The Capybara are the cutest. They’d make you smile seeing them on your desk or windowsill. Gachapon are one of the activities I am most looking forward to when we finally get to Japan. We had to cancel our May trip after waiting a whole year, so loving watching these clips in the meantime 🦊🍒🍭⛩

Aww I would have been there in May too, on my cancelled trip! They're always bringing out new and amazing gachapon so they'll definitely be lots of good ones whenever you get to go! :-)

Best: Hamster eating the seed Reason: I’m not sure if it’s also for you but for me it helps relieve my stress because of how cute the hamster is Strangest: The plant wallet one Reason: it looks weird to look at but it’s very useful, you can put your money, coins and small stuffs in there

The mushroom people are all suffering the effects of the kind of mushrooms that they are. So the kneeling one is actually doubled over from extreme stomach pain, the bending over backwards ones are delirious, and the laying down/sleeping ones are actually just dead! So it's actually an educational toy as well, lol. Really fun video, btw, you guys should do more like this.

Something unusual but quite an interesting find to add to the collection! Looking forward to many more Gatchapon videos that you both come across in the future! There might be some Olympic 2021 themed ones for next year! Well worth a find if you come across some!

Hello Amy and Phil! I love this Gachapon Challenge! Miss Japan so much :D I think the best one (cutest) is the Capybaras Gachapon :) bonus point for the creative capsule idea. One vote for Amy! Sorry Phil, maybe this time I think the winner for the strangest is also Amy with her human mushroom thingy gachapon…kneeling toadstool. Another vote for Amy :D I love mushroom but this one has got to be the strangest design.

I guess if I would be a gachapon item, I would be one of the strange ones! My best one would definitely be the Venus Flytrap purse! I have an actual venus flytrap at home (we named him Pibo. Short for Piranha Boy lol). Looking at the size of the fly inside, that flytrap is huge! :D (The Mushroom guy... (Funguy?) is a close second. They remind me of those Mushroom enemies in Dark Souls :D) My pick for the strangest one is probably the Russian-Doll Capybara! They live in South America and they still use this old Russian tradition? On top of that, the mother capybara stores her kid inside her head! If that's not strange, I don't know what is! :D
