What is a “blind box collectable?”
Blind
box collectables, called “gashapon” in Japan, is the hobby of collecting items
without knowing exactly what you are going to get. All the possibilities are
printed on the back of the packaging but until the package is opened the exact
item is unknown. Large networks of gashapon collectors trade on a regular basis
in Japan. The most sought-after items of the series are the “secret” items.
A
secret item is a model that does not appear on the packaging. It is usually a
special version of one of the models that is featured in the regular collection
but often is of special significance (an air ace, a prototype, the last
production unit etc.) Secret items are produced in much smaller numbers and
quickly become sought after collectibles.
Gashapon
collectables can include almost any sort of subject. They can be aircraft,
tanks, figures, science fiction subjects, video game characters – you name it
and it has probably been done. In Japan, they are often sold in machines that
look like enlarged North American candy machines.
