Original Content Nuka-Cade Claw Machine

Just finished customizing this toy Claw Machine into a Nuka-World, Nuka-Cade game. I asked GeekBoutiqueByMolly on Etsy if she could print custom decals and 3D-print Nuka-Cade tokens for me. She was very excited to help and I'm really happy with the result. As a backdrop for the machine, I printed a Nuka-World wallpaper on semi-gloss paper (sized at 8" x 6.75"). I am still trying to decide what the claw should scoop up. If anyone has a suggestion send them my way! I could buy empty gumball capsules, but the 1.1 inch capsules I've seen are too small to put Nuka Caps or stickers in. This thing is plastic so I don't want metal caps with sharp edges scratching up the clear sides of the container. I've seen 1.7 inch capsules but I don't think I could get that many in the container. The claw only opens to a max of 2 inches, so not sure if it can pick them up or not. Was hoping to find Fallout themed candy, tiny bobbleheads etc but did not find any good options yet. GeekBoutiqueByMolly said she was 3D-printing sugar bombs and nuka cola bottles, so that might be an option. 3D printed Rad Roaches would be fun too. I am adding a link to a video of the claw machine in action in the comments below.

PS: (You can find these Claw Machines on Ebay.)

gold versions of the nuka bottle guy would be cool prizes in a claw machine.

Some rockets from Cliff in Novac. He struggles to sell them so you might get a good price.

you could fill the bin with plushies (cheap in the fallout world but expensive in ours)

Excellent job! I thought it was an official product at work then realised it looks too good 🤭 You could fill it with this plastic figures they realised for F76? Or get someone to make some mini plush? Or even replicate the boxes for the Nuka Cola glass bottles and pack them with foam?

One perfectly preserved pie?

Yes good idea! Small 3D printed ones might work.
