Challenge 965: Bear with me
Ambling past an amusement arcade a couple of weeks ago, I was struck by this rather bizarre machine which appears to be offering a single prize of a vast teddy bear.

What feat of dexterity would you have to perform to win this stuffed toy? How would you get it out of the machine if you did win? And after it has been won, what should the arcade's proprietors replace it with?

High res is here.

Excellent work Ben. It's a difficult challenge.

Very nicely done Ben. I had a good giggle at this.

I agree with Michael, it is a difficult challenge but I hope that will only inspire people to rise to the occasion.

Great work on the open door Ben!

I love waiting to see what unexpected surprise you will spring Ant.

Those who said this one is difficult weren't wrong. Even more than I expected.

Video link is in another post further down.

Ben, both are terrific but the open door version is my favourite. The little girl's expression is perfect.

Anna I am getting "You are unauthorized for this action" at Vimeo. I can't view it. This usually happens if you haven't 'rated' your videos for general viewers. It's to protect younger visitors from inappropriate content.

The image is great. He doesn't look very cuddly ..... but then Koalas are deceptive.

Me to Anna.

Lovely work everyone. Ben, love your image. If I may, tighten the shadow under the front of the girl's toe of her shoes. It may lead the eye to believe she is on the same plain as the rest of the environment.

I have reloaded it. I have no idea why this happens but let's see how it goes.

Re: Challenge 965: Bear with me
Good one Frank. Sadly thats the way the bear would get out here - large surge in teenage thefts.

Re: Challenge 965: Bear with me
Thanks Ben, and sadly we have a large increase in thefts at all ages here, grocery stores, liquor, etc. Taxes, inflation, housing costs - many living in tents.
