MOTHER 3 Plushies – Arcade List

Oh man, MOTHER 3 stuff surrounded by Pokemon and Mario things. One can only dream~

Awesome.

I wonder how much it will be too buy one of the Mother 3 plushies off ebay.

Man, I wonder how much it would be to buy one of the Mother 3 Crane Games off ebay. If only… 😀

So I’m guessing these’ll be the same as those banpresto Mr.Saturns they made before, right? They look about the same.

:3 I’m glad I already have one~~

I do have a question, though; someone said something about a campaign. What would that be about?

Would be awesome to be there! D:

Is it just me, or does that Mr. Saturn on top like that Turtwig

Me wants D:

I’m going to Japan in July
Maybe they’ll still be around?

i whant one 🙁

I’d love one, but I’m not going to japan any time soon so I’m probably not gonna get one.

Just wondering but will you translate the list? I’m not going to Japan soon unfortunately but i was just wondering.

I’d rather not, I only have so much time in the day and I need to choose my tasks carefully. I think there are links to each individual place on there anyway, so it won’t be too hard for interested people to do research.

Thanks for posting this. Now I can tell my sister where the Mr. Saturns will be when she goes to Japan next month!

Just because a couple of people seem interested in the actual WINNING of these from the machines, I’m going to copypasta a quick writeup I posted on a topic about these about the differences between Japanese and American claw machines:

For anyone planning on going to Japan to try to win them easily because they think they’re good at claw machines… let me warn you, the “claw machines” of Japan are ENTIRELY different.

They are called “UFO Catchers” and are around in America sparsely now and instead of focusing on trying to get the prize so hooked on it can’t be dropped by a loose claw, they are an entire aiming and balancing act that, while a lot less “rigged” than American claws (as it’s the same thing each time and they have a good grip level”) are a lot harder in my opinion, or at least because most of my experience is with our definition of “claw machine”. They move far less loosely around and are shaped a bit like a UFO, and they have only two areas to “grab” with. Those areas are two large sideways V (and then mirrored so it’s more like a U) shaped plastic appendages from the top machinery that have a straight metal plate on the end of them.

The strategies are entirely different, so I advise you to practice on an American machine or look it up. For reference, here is a nice video that, while in Japanese and a bit tricky for some to understand audio-wise, has footage of the actual crane in action and fairly straightforward diagrams/strategies that are easy enough to recognize despite the language barrier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epB_33zc9Fg

Keep in mind, however, that a good chunk of those strategies rely on the rather ridiculous concept that there is no wall between the toys and the prize chute… which, at least in my experience with American UFO Catchers, is indeed rare. Also, the strategies that don’t rely solely on being near the chute seem to rely rather unfortunately on the toy having easy to grab appendages or necks… which Mr. Saturn doesn’t. If you’re just after the Mr. Saturn, which, considering the price of these things, is a rather smart choice, here are a few tips not listed from my experience with the evil things and factoring in physics of normal claw machines with the Mr. Saturn (or at least the second version I have) plush’s shape/balance…

If the toys happen to be in a stack pattern, that’s as good as yours in most cases. The only real “win” I’ve ever had from a UFO catcher was a similarly shaped Lady plushie which had a huge butt (“Big Bottom Buddies”, as Disney prefers to call them) that I got by focusing on getting underneath the back half of it and sort of rolling it down the pile into the prize drop.

If they have a string on top as the original did which happens to be a loop, then that, although perhaps taking a few tries to perfect, is also a good advantage. You can hopefully grip the string between the plates and carry it all the way over (unless the machine is screwed up and has space between the plates when closed.)

Well, hope I could be of some help to somebody, and good luck on those plushies!8)

If I didn’t already have a few, I’d probably post something along the lines of “I WANT ONE”. It’s great that they’re coming back. Hopefully some online stores will take the cue and restock them to give some westerners another chance at nabbing some of these. I got mine from a wonderful place called Wizzywig Collectibles for like $15 each way back when. I’d keep an eye on their storefront next month.

Only 3 Mr. Saturn’s are stacking. What a waste!

But good news about the plushies returning! The M3 ones are pretty sweet and better made then the ones that came with the M1+2 Art Book.

If there’s no plastic wall between the drop zone and where the prizes are stacked well…. consider it yours.

I can clean out a regular claw machine like no ones business, but I get irritated with the candy filled machines.

brb saving up paypal money to buy one from japanese dudes collecting them from the machines to sell them

DAMN! The Japan exchange program at my school is going to go IN September! And i WAS going but now I can’t! I’m so annoyed! DAMN DAMN DAMN!
