It is shaped like the actual toy capsule machine and users can wear it on their backs filled with toys. It is modeled specifically after the Gacha2 Ez vending machine to celebrate its 65 years since its depiction in 1965 when [Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-cup) imported the idea from America. February 17, 2025, is Gacha Day and users can prepare with the unique accessory to carry their goods. It measures 16 inches in height and is slightly smaller than its previous bag launched last year. This is great to bring on the go or even on a quick errand out for [toy collectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doll-carrier).
