The Bulky Vendor (バルクベンダー, Baruku Bendā, lit. "Bulk Vendor") is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. They resemble gumball machines or gashapon machines from Japan. They have no attacks and cannot harm Sora and friends, but are of great interest to Sora and his party nonetheless.

A Bulky Vendor's HP goes down all by itself, but if Sora uses a Reaction Command on it, it will spit out a rare item. The rareness depends on the amount of HP it has when the Reaction Command is used. They are located in places where elements of the setting can be struck with the Keyblade, as indicated in Jiminy's Journal.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Uncombative by nature, these mid-sized capsule Heartless will disappear after a short time. They hold rare and valuable prizes, however, and should be defeated when possible.
They gain speed as they take damage. Don't let them get away!

Kingdom Hearts II

A rare Heartless that can be found in certain worlds. It appears when you poke around various areas of the map.

It only appears in certain areas, and once it appears, it will not appear in that area for a while. Use the reaction command to get items. Figure out its secret pattern to get specific items.

Locations

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

• Mission 7: After the mission has been completed, go all the way down Station Heights, and then turn right. The Bulky Vendor will appear.

Kingdom Hearts II

The Bulky Vendor seems to have a trick to finding where it will be next. It goes through a cycle from world to world, you just need to find it the first time and then go to the next place on the list below and it should be there. Sometimes it goes in reverse too, so if it's not in the next world on the list try the one before it. For example, if you find it in Halloween Town the first time, it will either be in Agrabah or Beast's Castle next. Whichever one it is, it will continue to cycle in that direction.

• Agrabah: In the Bazaar. Attack and destroy the stalls for them to appear.

• Halloween Town: Outside Santa's house. You have to spin the carousel for the Heartless to appear.

• Land of Dragons: In the Checkpoint. Just reach the Heartless fast enough to use the reaction commands. Make one of the Fireworks wagons explode and it should show up.

• Beast's Castle: West Hall. You have to hit the armor in the hall for it to appear.

• Olympus Coliseum: Cave of the Dead Entrance. If they seem to have disappeared, just hit the light posts (4 in the center of the room) and they will reappear. They also appear during the Hades Paradox Cup.
