Twelve white Bandai Gashapon vending machines are vertically stacked in four columns and three rows against a white wall in a commercial establishment in Brighton, United Kingdom. The wall's upper section features large black Japanese text reading "キャラクター" (Character), with "GASHAPON" in English below it, and additional red Gashapon branding to the left. The top compartment of each machine is transparent, displaying various Sanrio-themed miniature collectible figures and their respective packaging. Visible collections include "Strawberry Friends" (Parts 1, 2, and 3), "Hello Kitty and Friends London Obsession," "Hugcot Sanrio Characters," "Sanrio Characters Puppy's March," "Hello Kitty and Friends Sweetie Case Collection 2," and a "Sanrio Characters Get Up Clean" series. Product information, including age recommendations (e.g., 8+, 15+), is printed on the display cards. Below the product display, each machine unit is white with a prominent red circular graphic featuring a white arrow and the instruction "Turn the handle to the right." A white turning knob is centered within this graphic. Each machine has a token slot labeled "TOKEN" with a return button, and a lower product dispensing chute. A black cover on the dispensing chute displays the "BANDAI" logo. Red "Attention" labels instruct users, "Do not insert any coins except the token." Token requirements vary among machines, indicated as "x3 x0 TOKENS TO PLAY" or "x2 x0 TOKENS TO PLAY." No individuals are visible. The environment is well-lit and appears to be an indoor space.
