The Capsule Toy Machine is a gashapon machine in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port that yields figurines enclosed in capsules. It is owned by Funky Kong, who claims to have found it "a while ago," and is put on display in his shop, Funky's Fly 'n' Buy.
The figurines themselves are miniature representations of the main characters and the Snowmads. Only a few figurines can be obtained at the beginning of the game, but six more figurines are added to the machine for each boss defeated. Each figurine costs five Banana Coins. Figurines are dispensed at random, and the player can get duplicates. Once the player obtains all unique figurines available before beating the next boss, Funky says that he is out of stock and does not let the player buy any more figurines until new ones are added. Similarly, when the Kongs own all distinct figurines, Funky refuses to sell any more to them, instead asking if they are interested in trading later.
Figurines gallery[edit]
The player can view the obtained toys in the "Figurines" gallery by choosing the "EXTRAS" option. Each of them is placed on a stand resembling part of a wooden barrel. The player can study these figurines by zooming in and out of them, or by rotating the camera around them. Figurines are divided into categories:
- Kong Family – contains figurines of the Kongs, as well as Rambi the Rhino, Professor Chops, the Mine Cart, and the Rocket Barrel; in the Nintendo Switch version of the game, this category also contains a figurine of Tawks;
- Bosses – contains figurines of all the bosses of the game;
- Snowmads 1 – contains figurines of penguin-based Snowmads;
- Snowmads 2 – contains figurines of hare, owl, and lemming-based Snowmads;
- Snowmads 3 – contains figurines of heavy-type Snowmads, like Waldough and Big Sphen.
The following table lists all figurines and the condition to make them available in the shop.
