Because it’s virtual, you won’t receive any real plush toys. But on the upside, you can easily get them as much as you want for free! This is the eighth installment in our famous crane game series, enjoyed by over 7 million players. This time, the theme features some of the world’s most popular characters. Iconic stars like Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Popeye, and Peter Rabbit—whose charm remains undiminished even after their copyrights have expired—have been transformed into adorable, soft plushies. Watch as they dangle and wobble in the crane, and discover a whole new side to these beloved characters. The plushies come in an endless range of sizes, dressed in beautiful materials like felt, metallic finishes, and leather. There are a total of 189 types, and even more will be added in future updates. The controls are simple: just press the move button and release at just the right moment. Swipe the screen to view the prizes from any angle, and pinch to zoom in and out to inspect every detail and plan your strategy. If you’ve ever felt the frustration of barely missing out on a prize at an arcade, now’s your chance—collect as many as you want with this app!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

クレーンゲームシミュレーターEX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Claw Crane SUPERSTARS has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Claw Crane SUPERSTARS's written reviews are positive against 70% of クレーンゲームシミュレーターEX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Claw Crane SUPERSTARS ships an update monthly, クレーンゲームシミュレーターEX every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
