The Capsule machines are 80cm high, 40cm wide, and 40cm deep and are usually stacked on top of several other capsule machines. The machines contains small capsules with small toys, cards, keychains and other accessories. Usually related to characters, places or other things that have fandoms.
Each machine only have one set in them. A set includes the same kind of item, like for example a key chain, and then several versions of that key chain. It can be different characters in the same movie, or different images of the same character. Like different images of the famous child actor Jozean.
