Taito Announces Dragon Quest Metal Slime Newton's Cradle for Japanese Arcades
Taito has announced a new Dragon Quest merchandise item featuring five Metal Slimes arranged in a Newton's cradle configuration. The device, which demonstrates physics principles through swinging metal balls, will be available as a prize in Japanese arcades starting October 24, 2026.
Standing approximately five inches tall, the collectible functions like standard Newton's cradles, with momentum transferring between the slimes when one is pulled back and released. While no North American retailers have confirmed distribution yet, past Taito Dragon Quest prizes such as a computer mouse were previously sold exclusively in Japan.
