 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?

 Re: Anatomy of...
Great toy and interesting dissection.
Is the difference between the gatchamecha and gatchadosu the outer and inner head?

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. Polyestercowboy wrote: How many Gacha variations are there? Gargamel's website has almost all of the different variations. http://www.gargamel.jp/item/gachamecha02.htmlThe 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

 Re: Anatomy of...
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.

 Re: Anatomy of...
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.

 Re: Anatomy of...
