I was like 'who the hell would buy this' and then I thought 'hmm, wouldn't mind a little propane tank on my work desk'.

Well done propane scale model dispensing machine guy, well done. 👏

But let's not forget that he was formerly into rrrrrrobots. And, likely, robot accessories.

They’d be great for any scale model hobbiest who wants to put propane tanks in their model.

Miniatures of nearly anything are quite popular in Japan.

I would imagine it would go well with those train track miniature landscapes (depending on the scale)

I just dropped like $50 on gacha that had poseable realistic mantis and turtles.

They look amazing in my plants though.

I'll tell you what man don't go puttin' your money in no Japanese vending machine man. They just be shrinkin' down regular ol' serious stuff and turnin' it into plastic you know, dang ol' toys man.

Yeah, Japan has some weird gachapon machines. Anime characters, game characters, even bugs, and cars I understand. But they'll have ones with replicas of food or random work equipment. And not just one or two of them, loads of the fucking things!

A lot of people, like me, love mini food and mini household items/work equipment. I can't explain why, but I love it and have to always resist buying new pieces.

Different people like different things!

StormRider2407 t1_ixizp0v wrote

I would never think of judging someone for collecting things like that (I've spent the last week or 2 making a phaser model from Star Trek, I'm not in a position to judge!).

It's just, who would have ever come up with that? Who would think "you know what people will buy? Tiny gas canisters!"

Reminds me of the Firefighter Friends gacha set in Shenmue 3. It's like six different mini fire extinguishers and an axe.

I've never gotten into model train stuff, but I've always been fascinated by the miniatures and thr detail they put into the settings.

Some kid is with their parents looking at all the Gachas of little cars and stuffed animals and robots and bouncy balls and says “mom… I want the propane tank”
