So I understand that in Japan, the Kinnikuman figures were sold in gashapon machines. Does anybody have any of the original capsules they came in?

Or any photos of an 80s machine with Kinnikuman in it?

I had a brief look online but couldn't find anything.

Here is the kinnikuman gashapon search for Yahoo Japan:

and here is an auction with one of the old capsule styles.

Here is an old picture from Naochin's Kinkeshi Archive that features a Kinkeshi vending machine and some capsules:

Here is a capsule with some 1991 reissued figures, pretty much the same container as used in the 80's:
