Dragonball Z Crane Game Announced
FUNimation and Namco announced yesterday that they will be bringing a new crane game featuring action figures of characters from Dragonball Z to over 780 locations in the United States. You’ll be able to play (and hopefully win) at amusement centers (like theaters and amusement parks) around the country.
Already available, these centers house a new crane game containing figures of Goku, his friends and foes. 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.

Those are really nice-looking figures.
These are beautifully articulated. Hopefully, some crane’s exact locations are close to where I live.
Does anyone know where i could check if the dragonball z crane game is near me?

That’s awesome! Where to go… Six Flags or Kings Dominion?!?
Damn!!! I suck at crane games too!! Maybe after a few tries I can just bribe a manager to just let me buy some of them. Cuz they like pretty fuckin fly in the pictures
There’s one of these machines at my local Wal-Mart (somehow its an ‘amusement center’…) 50 cents to play and the figures are easy-as-shit to win (’cuz the boxes have holes for the crane to hook into.)

The Galleria at Crystal run had one of these crane games. After about 6 or 7 dollars I won a Cell figure.

i managed to win a goku figure after two tries, spent a dollar on it. these crane games are in a lot of the fudruckers in minnesota
I just found one of these claw machines today at a bowling alley. my intention was to play ddr as we walked in my friend and I caught site of this crane game and freaked out. Not realizing the holes would be the key to winning, we jumped straight in and kind of figured out the hard way. We happened to nab 2 we got the SS Gohan and SS Trunks. They are really awesome i wanted to get an SS Vageto, but had some complications. it takes a lil time to adjust to the way the claw moves, but its great fun and the figures are cool. here is a pic of the two we won:
