I keep passing on these Pint-Sized Spidey figures every time I see them at GameStop, Hot Topic, and TRU, but at some point I'm sure I'll give in and pick up a dozen or so

When I saw a box of them today, I began wondering if/when Funko will eventually start putting these in really cool, really elaborate vending machines, a la Japanese Gachapon machines, since they (and so many other smaller Funko figures, like Mystery Minis) are ostensibly the American version of Gachapon figures.

I'm sure machines like that would seem needless and trivial to some, but I have fond memories of a comic shop I used to frequent in Florida that had a ton of TOMY Gachapon machines (always stocked with awesome figures), and recently, the G.U.Y.S. figures on Steven Universe have re-ignited my love of Gachapon figures, so I'd love to see machines like that become popular in larger retailers and shopping centers here in the U.S.
