capsule toy
Dispensed plastic sphere
A capsule toy is a small trinket or figurine dispensed from a vending machine inside a plastic capsule.
You insert coins, turn a crank, and receive a random item from the series—the surprise is part of the appeal.
The format originated in Japan, where such machines are called gachapon: I spent way too much trying to get the rare capsule toy.
