Toys and Models What is a UFO Catcher Doll?

I'm sure many of you have gone into restaurants or arcades and seen the Claw Machines, full of cheap stuffed animals and toys that we could win by operating a joystick or buttons.

UFO Catcher Dolls (small plush dolls)

UFO Catcher dolls are what you would find in those large Arcade Hook machines in Japan; mainly full of super deformed cute versions of favourite anime and manga characters. The only difference is, I think it's a whole lot easier over there. The UFO Catchers come with little string loops on their heads. The machines have hooks, so if you operate the hook well enough through joystick control, you can easily get your hook onto a string.

Of course UFO Catcher Dolls are really rare and have a high collectible nature, so they become expensive in time.

Here is Puchiko. There are 4 dolls in this set, so it gets harder to acquire all in a set and some sets become expensive.
