Capsule toy fans have more reasons to celebrate as Gashapon Bandai Official Shop is back at SM Megamall with another massive setup. From October 1 to 7, 2025, the Gashapon MEGA Pop-Up takes over the Mega Fashion Hall, Ground Level, bringing the #MegaCapsuleAdventure to the heart of Ortigas. Fans can spin from over 1,000 machine faces filled with anime, gaming, and kawaii collectibles. Throughout the week, new capsule toy drops will be unveiled, keeping the excitement alive every day.
1,000 Machines and Fresh Drops
The Gashapon MEGA Pop-Up continues the momentum from the Gashapon Festival held earlier this year, which also drew large crowds at SM Megamall. Just like the May festival, this October event features more than 1,000 machines, making it one of the biggest capsule toy installations in the country. For long-time fans and newcomers alike, this scale offers endless variety. Each spin delivers the thrill of discovering collectible toys based on popular franchises and characters.
Fresh item drops are another major highlight. Visitors can look forward to seeing new releases across anime, games, and pop culture throughout the week. This ensures that every visit provides something different, encouraging fans to come back multiple times.
Why Visit the Gashapon MEGA Pop-Up
The event offers more than just machines. Visitors can take photos with capsule-themed displays designed for social sharing. Surprises inside the capsules add another layer of fun, making each spin more rewarding. The atmosphere is also expected to be lively, much like the previous Gashapon Festival where fans traded finds, showcased collections, and hunted for rare items.
At the May festival, collectors even lined up for exclusive merchandise such as the mini Gashapon machine priced at ₱4,990. There were also perks like free sticker packs and folders for fans who engaged with Gashapon Philippines on social media. While October’s event focuses mainly on the machines and new capsule drops, fans can still expect a festive environment with the same level of excitement that made the earlier festival a hit.
Permanent Store at SM Megamall
The October pop-up is not a one-time event. Gashapon has confirmed that a permanent location at SM Megamall will launch later this year. This ensures that the #MegaCapsuleAdventure will continue even after the pop-up ends. Collectors and fans can look forward to a steady source of new items, authentic Bandai capsule machines, and exclusive drops conveniently located in Ortigas.
