In this entertaining and fast-paced video, the host of 'Cakes with Faces' takes on a whimsical challenge in Ikebukuro, Tokyo — a 20-minute hunt for the quirkiest and coolest Gachapon (also known as gashapon) within the world's largest capsule toy store. This massive collection of capsule machines is located inside Sunshine City mall at the Bandai Namco Cross Store. Known for their fun and eccentric offerings, Gachapon machines dispense everything from character figurines and keychains to uniquely themed collectibles that often spark laughter and amazement.

The challenge is simple but exciting: in just 20 minutes, participants must scour the enormous store and select what they consider to be the BEST and STRANGEST Gachapon they can find. It’s a true test of personal taste and novelty-finding prowess! After the challenge, the video features an engaging segment where each capsule toy is opened, revealing their delightful and sometimes bizarre contents.

What makes this video stand out is the interactive twist — viewers are invited to participate by commenting on who they think won the challenge. Not only is it fun to watch, but one lucky commenter will also win all four capsule toys featured in the video. This adds an extra layer of community engagement and excitement for Gachapon enthusiasts around the globe.

The Bandai Namco Cross Store within Sunshine City is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in quirky Japanese collectibles. With hundreds of machines and constantly rotating themed items, it offers a thoroughly immersive and joyful shopping experience. Sunshine City itself is a popular complex in Ikebukuro, known for its mix of retail shops, dining, an aquarium, and an observatory.
