...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?

Great toy and interesting dissection.

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

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.

http://www.gargamel.jp/item/gachamecha02.html

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 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.

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!
