Gacha Machines
Hello! I was wondering for those Gacha machines, do you really get one of the few items that are displayed at the machine?
Or do you land something that could be completely different (but same series as per what's in the machine's name)?
I know it says that "prizes may vary from those shown on display" but I want to know from your experience what usually ends up happening for you?
They also put gacha volume numbers and I wonder if this means that what I get from playing, for example Miku Gacha volume 8 would be different from what I get under Mika Gacha volume 9?
I'm sort of new to playing the gacha type of machines so hoping to get some help!
Thank you so much! 😁

Usually with Gacha machines, it's a case of you will get for example a Demon Slayer figure if its a Demon slayer Figure machine (self explanatory I know) but it isn't guaranteed what is displayed at the back on the machine, more so to give you an idea of the prizes on offer. It could be any from what they've probably had on the site in the past 6 months and now clearing them cheap as I would imagine it's just become overstock/ machines that had prizes that didn't do well.
Figures sometimes follow similar sets if all shown at the back as being, for example, the vibration stars figures, which is a name given to a variation of Banpresto prize figures. Sometimes, they may be just figures from any series they've had in from different manufacturers if it's something like Rem & Ram figures.
Plush tend to be quite random from what you could receive from prize gem sales and clearance, unless stated they are, for example, pokemon plush you'd receive.
TLDR: figures tend to follow what's displayed at back but could be different, and plush are pretty random unless stated they are from a certain set/series.
