An only in Japan. David Bowie collectible

David Bowie lapel pins are available the world around, but is only in Japan that you can get them readily from a gachapon (toy capsule) machine! However, they are not  available at every gachapon center. But they are easier to source in Japan than overseas. 

David Bowie themed toy capsule machines are primarily found at the larger gachapon shops / centers or at pop-up events, like the Bowie exhibition in Tokyo. I spotted the one pictured at a gachapon center in Kawagoe yesterday. It has a selection of ten different pins. One costs 500 yen and comes with an "artist sticker". 

For David Bowie fans, they maybe a collectors item you never knew you needed! It might be fun to try the David Bowie capsule machine while visiting Japan - a Japan only David Bowie capsule toy would make a nice keepsake of your visit!
