a while back, someone posted pics of a series of transforming cameras, about 6 i think, that were from bubblegum machines in japan (gashpon)
i tried doing a search here, but really don't know how to narrow the search any further to get results that don't include threads of people asking how to take pictures with real cameras

does anybody know what i'm takling about? they were different makes of camera, twin reflex, brownie, SLR, filed camera, 4x5 etc, and all transformed in some way.

I would like
1) to know what these are called, so i can start a search to purchase them all, or
2) purchase them all from someone here who already has them, or
3) at least get a decent pic of them again so i know what i'm missing out on


Thanx in advance

 

Sounds pretty interesting. I'm also interested in hearing what information comes up.

 

just to add,

they are only a few cm's tall, and all solid colors if i remember corectly.

 

Just googled these, hope these ones are the gashapons you are after;
