Bandai Gashapon Kiosk Quietly Debuts at EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion

The four-sided Bandai unit dispenses licensed capsule toys via card-only touchscreens.

Overview

  • The kiosk is positioned beside Garden House near the Katsura Grill stairway, across from the Mitsukoshi Department Store.
  • Prices per random capsule currently range from about $9 to $15 after guests select a theme on the touchscreen.
  • Transactions are card-only and the machines retain the traditional hand-crank to dispense a single capsule.
  • All four sides feature different selections from franchises including One Piece, Dragon Ball Daima, Kirby, Sanrio, Demon Slayer, Spy x Family, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, My Hero Academia, and Chainsaw Man.
  • The opening follows months of construction identified in Imagineering permits as a “Gachapon Kiosk,” and the nearby Garden House remains closed with signage directing guests to the Mitsukoshi sake bar.
