Gashapon fans and addicts, rejoice! Gashapon Bandai Official, the world’s largest capsule toy brand that we love (some of us, perhaps too much) has officially opened at Suntec City.

Walking into the new store feels like stepping into a kaleidoscope of possibilities, with 118 capsule machines lined neatly in rows. Each machine isn’t just a single series, either – most of them carry multiple sets, so the odds of stumbling on something unexpected are pretty high. Fans will spot plenty of familiar brands too, with series ranging from Pokemon and One Piece to Sanrio and Crayon Shinchan, all shrunk down into pocket-sized trinkets.

But what really makes this outlet stand out is its exclusives. Suntec City is home to six machines you won’t find at any other Gashapon Bandai store. That includes a Crayon Shinchan x Sanrio crossover, a Kirby set, and even a Minecraft 5th Edition series. Prices remain somewhat approachable as well, starting from $2 a token, with most machines asking between two and five tokens per spin.

I know where I will be this weekend.
