What in the heck is a UFO Catcher?

Over here in the USA we have all seen the arcade game that has the crane you lower to pick up a prize and win it. As we all know, here in the USA though, the prizes tend to be very cheap and not all that enticing.

In Japan, however, the crane game is known as UFO Catcher machines because the crane hook lowers out of a UFO shaped piece. And as opposed to our cheap, tawdry items, the Japanese go all out with their prizes, producing items you can find ONLY in the catcher machines.

All of these items are high quality, top notch items.
