character scooping; festival game of scooping plastic cartoon figurines from water
A festival stall game similar to goldfish scooping (金魚すくい), but with small plastic character figurines floating in water. The term is a straightforward compound of キャラクター and すくい.

I enjoyed character scooping at the summer festival.
The paper scoopers for character scooping tear easily.
Compound of キャラクター (character) and すくい (scooping), modeled after 金魚すくい (goldfish scooping).
