On Thursday, the maker of collectible vinyl figurines unveiled a patent-pending vending machine that dispenses character toys called Snapsies.

Insert your payment, turn the dial, and the machine dispenses a mystery Snapsies character inside a plastic capsule.

But Snapsies are for a different crowd: the kids of Funko's traditional customers. 

The company began experimenting with this toy-dispensing machine concept last year with something similar called Paka Paka

Funko says the response surpassed expectations and the company is expanding to 600 Paka Paka machines, coming this year to GameStop stores nationwide. 

Funko said to expect Snapsies machines in retail stores this fall, starting with Target.
