I have always loved popping the bubbles on the bubble wrap and so I was super excited when I heard Bandai had released a new simulator toy that could imitate it. When I went to Japan last year, I searched the shops immediately upon arrival, hoping to get it quick, but guess what! There was none anywhere!! I was very disappointed but by a stroke of luck, I found it at at a UFO catcher at Umeda in Osaka. So after the 3rd try I managed to get it!
That's not all! Good news for those who love popping the beans out of Edamame (those green soybeans)! Bandai is releasing another new simulator toy called Mugen Edamame. Watch the video below to see how it works!
Trust the Japanese to come up with gadgets and toys such as these! Interesting and innovative bunch of people I must say! I don't think I would ever get tired of anything Japanese!
So anyway, because I am super terrible at UFO catchers, I've decided to try out methods used in the following video on the secret of UFO catcher machines. And I'm going to be so kind to share with everyone out there who is equally as bad as me when it comes to playing with the UFO catchers.

Sugoiiiiiii!!!!! Really amazing isn't it! Now I know why some people can actually earn a living just by playing with these. Yes, believe it or not, there ARE people in Japan whose full time job is to get the dolls/toys from these machines!
So just a summary of the techniques involved:
1. Soft toys that are at the side of the drop hole, use the "Sweep" method to sweep the toy in with one claw.
2. Soft toys that are at the top of the drop hole, use the "Slide" method to flip the toy in.
3. For bigger toys, aim the claws at the neck (see elmo example)
4. For boxes, aim for the indents of the box so that the claw can grab hold of it. [ I still think this step is the most amazing of all!!]
I hope that helps! If it really does work, please let me know!!
