The Plastic Wonderland of Japanese Arcades

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

The recent Amusement Operator Union arcade expo wasn't only about dancing girls and giant robots, it was also about figurines and prizes.

Kotaku's Toshi Nakamura and Richard Eisenbeis were on hand to slap buttons and to snap photos of prizes that punters can win from redemption games. Some of the figures were prototypes, while others were for display purposes only.
