Yes, you can absolutely use stuffed animals in a standard toy crane machine, and they are one of the most popular and effective prizes for these arcade games. Stuffed animals, or plush toys, are ideal because their soft, flexible nature makes them easier for the claw to grip and lift compared to hard, smooth toys. To use them successfully, choose plush toys that are lightweight, not overly large, and have minimal hard parts like plastic eyes or accessories that could get stuck. Fluff them up properly before loading to ensure they aren't too compressed, which helps the claw grab onto fur or limbs. When setting up the machine, distribute the stuffed animals evenly and avoid overpacking, allowing the claw to move freely. For operators, regularly test the claw strength to ensure it can reliably pick up the plush toys without being too easy or impossible. Stuffed animals attract players of all ages, boosting engagement and repeat plays, making them a classic choice for toy crane machines in arcades, restaurants, and entertainment centers. Always check your machine's specifications for size and weight limits to avoid jams and ensure smooth operation.
