When you think of Japan, you probably think of Gundam. Maybe you think of vending machines. Now both have been joined into one single entity. Behold, the Gundam-shaped vending machine.
As Waseda’s Jeffrey Hall points out, the vending machine has been rolled out at Aichi Prefecture’s Lagunasia water park.
A Gundam-themed vending machine has been unveiled at Aichi Prefecture's Lagunasia water park, marking 40 years since the release of the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. Unfortunately, it only sells canned coffee. #gundam #anime #coffee #ガンダム https://t.co/hzofEbQaOl

The machine has also been spotted at other locations, including Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills.
