Funko Claw Machine
https://collider.com/funko-claw-machine-images/
CinemaCon is currently underway and, amid all the promotions for the biggest upcoming films for theater owners and press members to peruse, Funko made its presence known. The collectible giant came to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas with a brand new Funko Funcade arcade machine designed to dispense a variety of pop culture figurines for those willing to play. Collider's editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub was in attendance and was able to snap a few photos of the retro game which we can now share with everyone at home. The machine will be available to theaters and other prospective buyers for $12,000 USD, minus the products inside.
Funko's new cabinet invokes a classic arcade feel with colorful art featuring the mascots Freddy Funko and Proto along with bright lights that help it stand out. Two players can participate at once with two sets of controls and a partition that keeps games separate. Built with arcades or theaters in mind, it asks players to drop a ball to earn prizes, ranging from tickets to extra balls along with any Pop! figures that fall through while playing. Whatever collectibles are available are up to the buyer, though it's made to specifically support boxed Funko Pop! figures of all sizes thanks to adjustable prize guards. The machine stands with a 62-inch diameter, 45.4-inch width, and a height of 87.5 inches and is built to prevent cheating and rocking of any kind with a tilt mechanism.
After recently celebrating 25 years of crafting their now-iconic pop culture collectibles, Funko isn't showing signs of slowing down in 2024. Through the first three months and change of the year, they've, among other things, delivered lines of figures commemorating Star Wars: The Phantom Menace's 25th anniversary, shared in the success of Dune: Part 2 and Succession, and helped fans become DunKings with a promotion based on the Ben Affleck-led Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. Their new arcade cabinet marks yet another way to bring their newest designs to customers in an interactive way that could soon arrive at a theater near you.

The question is, what prizes are yall putting if you get one? Haha
(In all seriousness, this would make for one badass display case, but I think if I had one, I’d want it fully functioning for guests to try out)

Technically not a claw machine but I would definitely try and win some prizes. Funko should have this at cons they will be at.

True. I mean, I've seen pin ball machines go for 5-10k so 12k doesn't seem to be too unreasonable.

you just copy/paste the link just like you would with anything else.
But this is a thread specifically for the Funko-produced and commercially available claw machine, it's not really the same discussion. Related for sure but this is basically a new product for Funko. Your discussion is how they should put claw machines at conventions and shows for individual use with rare funko stuff inside, which has been done!

Toy Tokyo had a claw machine full of chases only. This was 7 years ago, the Funko chase claw machine no longer exists.

Re: Funko Claw Machine
Wait, this is REALLY neat. Especially bc I feel like Gatcha games are growing in popularity (at least in the US, it seems) $12k is a solid investment for existing businesses to attract crowds. I hope we get to lay eyes on this at Funkovilles this year!
