UFO Catcher Arcade Game Robot Prize

robot

Robot prize from one of the local game centers near us. It came with a small key chain attached to the top of the head. A lot of people here hang charms like this on the cellphones, backpacks, or purses. The arcade machines are what we used to call "The Claw", but are usually called "UFO Catcher" here in Japan.

It's like a weird version of Jack Skellington... I mean the inside guy is Jack then he's driving a weird robot guy of a demented-version of him (and in blue), but despite how crazy it is, I would love to have it LOL!!!
