Funko Claw Machine

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.

I mean $12K does not seem that bad really?

[cptsailor]

I mean $12K does not seem that bad really?

I was thinking the same thing. Especially for the size of it!

[plumb102]

I mean $12K does not seem that bad really?

I was thinking the same thing. Especially for the size of it!

I was also thinking it was kinda reasonable.. like the size, detail, uniqueness.. PRETTY COOL

[Chingy]

12 grand!? At that price, I want one for my house!

[BenLo]

Machine looks really nice

[Bam808]

Looks pretty cool, I can imagine headquarters and hollywood having one and there being one at various comic cons would be cool to see.

[Serch_na]

This battle will be hard, but that need to go in my living room

[Lexi]

I'm sure my 2 yr old would love that his his room, so fantastic.

[funkopants777]

Oooo looks so fun, I want to play ! Haha
I can imagine myself not quiting until I win
something though

[Ohlordypops]

This is pretty cool and not too bad of a price.

[AnyGivenFunko]

The claw machine looks fascinating. Would love one in the house. =)

[funkomarv96]

I’m not going to lie, if I had the space and the funds for it, I would buy one just to have! super detailed and the colors pop out!

[Toys R Us Kid]

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)

[sealordbrian]

Curious to see this in person. Hopefully it shows up at SDCC or NYCC somewhere.

[Jalapenopete]

It be fun to have it at a fundays event or at hollywood store for fanatics to try it out

[lazcommalisa]

I absolutely adore the designs that were used for this machine! If I ever have a spare $12k around, I know what I'll be getting I do hope to see one soon and test my luck with it

[funkomarv96]

"Sorry kiddo, daddy had to liquidate your college fund for the ultimate funko basement decoration" - Future me moments before wife throws me into traffic

It would look so legit in a game room!!!!!

[FunkoholicsAnonymous]

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

[FunkoMatt857697]

I hope they bring these to events like SDCC or have them at their stores.

[Urstranger1]

I never win on this dang claw machines so I stopped playing them yrs ago. Hmm.. thinking I should try my luck again!! This looks super awesome!!

[Urstranger1]

I mean $12K does not seem that bad really?

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

[Urstranger1]

12 grand!? At that price, I want one for my house!

Haha! That would be pretty amazing to have at home. Man cave must have!! Lol

[Urstranger1]

It be fun to have it at a fundays event or at hollywood store for fanatics to try it out

Or at convention Funko booths!!

That is soooooo cooooool .. would love to try one

[beckysaurus]

I thought this was the thread I created haha but there is a thread going on already @ renardchuard not sure how to post the link here to redirect you there

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!

[DrunkoPop]

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

[Hopesdenial]

I would love to try this one it releases!

[nerdgirlbritt]

This thing is epic. I want one for my house as weird as that may be.

[nerdgirlbritt]

12 grand!? At that price, I want one for my house!

My thoughts exactly! Like how epic would that look?!?

[nerdgirlbritt]

I hope they bring these to events like SDCC or have them at their stores.

YES! They could set these up in multiple locations around the convention and they would have lines for days.

Thank you for steps on link sharing , I figured but was not sure

[Shadowfyre]

I love love love claw machine games - their magic is enhanced when there are HTF items in there IMO!

[Ep245]

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!
