CoolToy, I think Numbskull finally found a great way to get info to us TH-cam crowd. These two Q&A sessions with you have been AMAZING and they couldn't have picked a better guy to interface with! I am SO THANKFUL for both Numskull and New Wave Toys for allowing me a way to bring more arcade machines into my Home Arcade. I have no more room for 3/4 scale size cabinets and these smaller replicas have been a boon! I display these amazing machines in a bit of different fashion than most. I don't set them aside in their own location, like a diorama. I instead place them throughout my Home Arcade, and the sheer trick of the eye perspective makes it seem like I have more genuine larger machines in the room. The attention to detail is what does it and it's a spectacular effect! I own Numskull's Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Polybius, TMNT, Space Invaders and Space Invaders Part II. I did try to buy their Galaxian back in the day from Amazon, but 3 times in a row, they sent me Galaga. Now there's nothing wrong with Galaga, in fact, I like the game better than Galaxian, but that artwork on Galaxian brings back a specific memory of a Pizza Joint and listening to Blondie's Heart of Glass. No worries though, as Numskull is bringing other great machines to bear! I've pre-ordered Zoo Keeper and I'm already sending my wallet to therapy to get it ready for the pre-orders of Burger Time, Pong, Lunar Lander, The Real Ghostbusters, and Robocop. And sure, it would be great to collect them all, but space, even at the 1/4 scale size, is still a limited commodity for me. I'll eat up the ones that speak highest to me for sure. I'd love to see Numskull take what they've achieved with their Space Invaders machines, and utilize that tech again on such classics as Asteroids Deluxe and Omega Race. It would be a shame to let that effect end with the Invaders line. And I can only hope for other classics such as Battlezone with it's cool view finder, Cosmic Avenger with it's crazy over the top Sci Fi art, Alien Syndrome replete with that crazy Alien Head topper, Assault with it's twin sticks with fire buttons in them, and of course, the cream de la cream, the outlandish miss-shaped masterpiece known as Wacko. See, stuff like this gets me every time and I feel the urge to list every arcade machine ever made. Thank you CoolToy and Numskull for taking the time to give us great updates and a look to the future! vgv
You’re too kind man, thank you. If you’re still on the hunt for Galaxian I believe you might be able to still find one through Game UK here: sovrn.co/18d0kg4 I also prefer the art on Galaxian over Galaga. Every time I see the side art for Galaga I immediately think of the album artwork of the debut album from Boston. :) I feel you on space concerns, I recently brought all of my quarter scale machines together for a new display I made and it was shocking to me just how much space they quickly took up once I gathered them all together. I’m also going to try and grab the new machines as they come out and I’ll have to come up with something new real quick storage wise once they all arrive. Battlezone! Man that would be such a great machine to see done in the 1/4 scale. Wacko would be worth its weight in gold just to see faithfully recreated. I remember staring at that machine for 5 mins trying to figure it out as a kid the first time I ever saw it. So many really cool and creative machines were being made in those days. Good times.
Excellent interview! Matt and Ben run their companies in a manner that represents the best of arcade and collector culture. Reserving #7 for Track & Field until the art gets licensed and paying more for tooling the Burger Time custom curved molding is something that no other company (except New Wave Toys) would do. We are so fortunate to have these companies fighting the good fight of historic preservation. Without them, these machines would be lost to history. The only arcade machine more authentic than a Quarter Arcades machine is the original.
GREAT interview! I've been selectively buying NWT cabs, but after hearing this interview I want to support this company as well, I'll jump on one of their cabs soon!
I have their TMNT cabinet and it's absolutely beautiful. It's so accurate to the original it's scary. I'm extremely excited about their Real Ghostbusters cabinet. It stinks to hear they are having trouble with all the licensing and will be delayed.
Thank you for the interview. Was hoping for one or two announcements. On the other hand it's probably better for now. What's already mentioned. These QA aren't cheap. Hopefully they figure it out with the licencing issues with Robocop and Real Ghostbusters. BurgerTimes looks great. So happy that that one comes out in 6-7 months.
Awesome interview. Although after him saying his last name, I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from turning into Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and in his voice yell for his dog.....PRECIOUS!....PRECIOUS!.... HEY DON'T YOU HURT MY DOG! - As you can see, it's truly best a professional like yourself did the interview as he would have ended it with me immediately 😂
I own almost every QA game....You HAVE to figure out how to get the DK license if you want to go elite. You HAVE to. Whatever it costs. Make a quarter arcade Donkey Kong....DKjr. I am telling you....make it! That is your Field of Dreams.
Omg I am getting my first numskull zookeeper one. I'm looking forward to it❤😊 when can we get ghostbuster or are we going to get that one soon. So gor halloween we have it❤😊
In my opinion these companies should help support the Arcade machines which are literally vanishing not the ones they made 5000 or more of the machines! Like Rare Games... TAITO's Night Striker, Galaxian 3 and many more!
Problem with making rare and obscure games is there isn't a large enough market of consumers wanting to purchase them, thus they don't make financial sense to recreate.
Mid eighties to mid nineties is where all the $ and interest is, I would imagine. Too much focus on early stuff. Pac man ok, but get to the good stuff. I'm 50 and even I don't really care about the early stuff. Bought tmnt, 7up hub, pepsi soon, and happy about bad dudes. Number one would be Robocop, so fingers crossed. Final fight and street fighter 2 and a red neo geo cabinet are kinda essential. Hopefully all that licencing can be worked out.
@@zilla66 it’s not really a matter of it raising the asking price, but a matter of no one being able to get the original artist that designed the artwork to sign off on the deal
@@dragongamer2670 full sized machines would be really expensive to make, let alone ship to a customer. Surely you can understand why that isn’t being done.

The Burger Time looks amazing, I'm really impressed!
It really is!

glad you enjoyed the chat!
Great interview. I loved hearing about the inner workings of their company. The Pong cabinet is absolutely beautiful. Agreed.
@@jollygreen9377 I find that sort of thing extremely fascinating myself!
Great interview, I really enjoyed it! And I am so happy they are making Pong!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Just listened to the whole thing. Great interview Doug. Very informative!
thank you very much!
I love their games; the attention to detail is second to none. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this!! I've been wanting to get the 411 on everything and am so eager for new Numskull releases!!!
@@davidh4548 happy I could help 👍
Awesome! Great interview. Throughly enjoyed it. Thank you! 🙏
@@greenmagicdragon glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 🙌
Great interview Doug! I'd love to see a clip of these guys going through the 3D scanning process.
Me too, I find that whole aspect of their research and recreation of the cabinets to be really interesting!
I have their TMNT cabinet and it's absolutely beautiful. It's so accurate to the original it's scary. I'm extremely excited about their Real Ghostbusters cabinet. It stinks to hear they are having trouble with all the licensing and will be delayed.

Fantastic entertaining interview with tons of information and insights! Great work Doug! #ArcadesFTW
Much appreciated!
I can never trust myself with a credit card when looking at these Numskull Arcades 😂
10/10 great interview
much appreciated!

@@cooltoy Although I'm stoked to hear the stuff they're coming out with. An Operation Wolf would of been sweet too!

Great interview! God, if there’s ANY WAY to make an Operation Wolf cabinet, I NEEEED IT.
@@danielanderson3157 it would be glorious!
Thank you for a clear, informative interview unlike the typical word salad NWT drivel. I didn't know that about Hyper Sports too.
@@sirdonaldlee my pleasure!
Outrun USB hub after Op Wolf!
Man I'd love to see them make a playable Outrun
@@cooltoy absolutely, but I'd take a non-playable piece of eye candy too! Outrun is just an iconic arcade from that era.
We need a Zaxxon.
Would 'definitely' buy Robocop, pre-order.
Omg I am getting my first numskull zookeeper one. I'm looking forward to it❤😊 when can we get ghostbuster or are we going to get that one soon. So gor halloween we have it❤😊
The Real Ghostbusters cabinet is at the very least still a year away at best
@@cooltoydang. ❤😊

love it! thanks for a entertaining ep. how do you not have more views bro?
Working on it!
Man! I wish they’d do Rastan! Or even Stryder! 😅😅😅😅😮😮
@@kenwoodruff3415 I’d buy either one for sure!
I will pre order burgertime immediately
Me too! Can’t wait to add it to my collection
Need to make Happy, and Beer Tapper/Root Beer Tapper

I would give 100 dollars more for track and field if that’s what it takes!

Killer instinct when? I need my replica ultra combos.
@@sweet_sukeban4022 I wouldn’t expect that one anytime soon
If you want a real challenge, make the x-men arcade that was like 6 players.
R O B O T R O N ?
that would be an awesome addition to the line up
🥤🍿👀👏
If you really want to help preserve these machines make full size machines.. duh. Some cockpit games just are not the same as a small machine.
