Anatomy of...

...a Gacha Mecha.





1. "Underbelly Cannon" aka Gacha-weiner (not Gotcha-weiner... that's a different game)

2. Old school Famicom/NES controller. Best controller ever?

3. Gameboy? PDA? Etch-A-Sketch?

4. Gargamel cube logo with a clear G superimposed over it. That would make an awesome glass paperweight.

5. Keiji-K styled head design.



Slight difference on the lil' guys for the Gachados. Note the "II" carved into its forehead.

Anyone else care to share weird details that they've noticed on toys? NSFW for exposed circuitry?

 

Awesome---reading into the details!

 

Cool info.
I still need to hunt one of these down.

 

Thanks for the info. Killer toy... The NES controller, man so much good memories come drift through the brain.

 

If you ever want to get rid of those...let me know

 

awesome post! Totally underrated toy!

 

Great toy and interesting dissection.

Is the difference between the gatchamecha and gatchadosu the outer and inner head?

 

How many Gacha variations are there?

 

Cool post and cool figure!

 

There are three main body types in the Gacha Mecha series:

Gachadokuro 1-Go (1 head spike)
Gachamecha 2-Go Gachados (Devil horns / "II" on forehead of inner parts)
Gachamecha Production Ver. Gacharoid (Visor)

So, yeah, the differences between the 1 and 2 types are the head sculpt and outer 'cap.' Gacharoid has a completely different cap and inner parts sculpt.

Gargamel's website has almost all of the different variations.

The only ones that are missing are the 2006 lucky bag releases:

Solid black Gachadokuro w/ clear big hand
Solid yellow Gacharoid w/ two plug hands
Clear purple Gachados w/ plug hand

 

I've always liked this hidden detail (from the underside of the crawling hedoran's tail):

 

what does it say?!

 

Gargamel

 

damn it, i can't see it.

 

oooooooh, very cool!
i was trying to go stragith across and then back.
thanks for spelling it out for me

 

That's pretty cool, didn't know that either.

 

Secret Base does this too---

 

That's funky. I had no idea.

 

what>?? I had no idea about the gargamel writing. That's very cool and interesting. I'll have to check out some of my toys more closely.

 

I think I caught that GARGAMEL on the tail of the Hedoran first day I owned it. 2nd vinyl monster figure I ever bought, I sat there for like an hour checking it out. Love those little details.

 

kiyoka did the original skullbrain sculpts for SB (and wings, and...)

 

Looks like purple udon!

 

When I got my first crawling I noticed that- but figured it was common knowledge here and never posted it.....Glad to see someone else noticed!

 

are more of these Gachas coming out? I wasn't feeling them before but this post really points out the charms.
