Have you ever gone into your local arcade, store, or restaurant and seen those crane games where you have to maneuver a claw to grab a prize? Don’t you wish those crane games offer better prizes instead of some random stuff animal or video games no one cares about anymore?
Well even if you’re not, FUNimation, Toei Animation, Ltd., and Namco Cybertainment Inc., one of the largest amusement game operators in the U.S. and Caribbean, are bringing the Z-fighters to more than 780 amusement centers around the country.
How do you win a Z-fighter of your choice? Here’s what FUNimation cites in the company’s announcement:
The Dragon Ball Z figure crane game will offer an entirely new experience for those who are familiar with the old crane concept. Instead of directing a crane claw to a random and, hopefully, substantial grip on a desired prize, crane players are able to utilize their skills to line up the claw fingers with one or more of the eight holes in the custom figure packaging for a precise hook on their favorite Dragon Ball Z figures. These collector edition figure prizes are designed and manufactured by Banpresto Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan and cannot be found in retail stores.
Since Banpresto is the company who designed and manufactured the prizes, they may be easier to obtain than to try your luck with the crane game. That’s probably good news to your ears, however, there’s bad new too. You’ll probably have to import them from Japan if you have no luck with the crane game. Or you could just hire someone to win them for you.
