The price tag on the Numskull Quarter Arcades makes it hard to pick up every one of them like I wish that I could, but they have quality and attention to detail that rivals New Wave Toys and there is something about the larger ones 1:4 scale that makes these just exceptionally playable-it draws you in and feels so much like playing the real machine I wanted so bad to get one that was signed by Kevin Eastman that I hesitated and haven’t grabbed this one yet, but sooner or later I think I will “need” one. 😂
Haha yes I "needed" it as well. Yeah the price will definitely make it tough to buy them all but you're right their quality and detail make them worth the money. This is my first numskull product and I'm very impressed
That's kind of what I thought too haha. Either way it's sooo cool. If they are all 300 bucks then i will obviously have to pick and choose the ones I want. That's too much to collect them all haha
I would definitely use that to display with the quarter scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series action figures that were released from NECA to make it look like they're playing it. Of course, my quarter scale arcade game would be non-playable and would be programmed to play just a video of the full game already played by four players with no damage as well as the six character profiles of the Turtles, Splinter and April and the game over screens of two people playing as Leonardo and Michelangelo, the other two playing as Donatello and Raphael, and one playing as Leonardo uploaded on TH-cam that I would use with a switch to turn it on and off.
@@The_Bad_Guy. You're welcome! I just think the quarter scale arcade game would satisfy as a display piece rather than a playable game, and if it was non-playable, it would propbably cost less than $300.
@@JoshuaModerwell oh yeah honestly these things are cool to play for a little bit then they are just very nice display items haha. There are many other better way to play most of these games. But the look of some of these mini cabinets are so good. Much better than the 3/4 scale.
the same pt you said i take back 300 being too much is when i said it too lol. the attention to detail and getting the full actual game with song and all. explains it. i would feel more comfortable paying maybe $200
Yeah honestly 300 is a bit much haha. But it's a huge plus that they got the original song. That was a very pleasant surprise for sure. The little cabinet really is super cool I'm not gonna lie. But I would say at 300 dollars it better be one of my all time favorites or I will have to pass on them!
Great review Mike and the cabinet looks dope! Wait until I get my TMNT cabinet done from a Simpsons Arcade1up! I have my sideart and CPO coming this week hopefully. Also I have a 4 player custom control deck, modded with a Dell SFF PC maxed out and has a Dell 2007FPB 20" monitor with custom TMNT screen bezel with monitor mount from Tulsa arcades. And an OG TMNT slip on marquee from Szabo's! As well as some other custom touches which I won't reveal yet. lol With in regard to the OG TMNT music not being on the Arcade1up. Why don't you throw a PC in there? It is pretty easy, then you can have the OG game running along with many others. Just a thought man.
Damn looks like your cabinet is going to be sick! You have to share at least a picture when it's done.... Honestly with my A1up TMNT it's probably not worth the time and work at this point. I'm hoping they will do an XL version of it. But we'll see. If not I may mod it like you said.
@@The_Bad_Guy. Thanks man! Oh I'll do better than a picture as I'll do a video on it too. lol Yeah it would be cool if Arcade1up released an XL TMNT. But I have a bad feeling that they lost the license to that and many others. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
@@atranfanaticthat's awesome! Definitely do a video on it! Something is going on with A1up that's for sure. You may be right about that though. The first quarter of 2024 will reveal a lot I think about where arcade1up stands. They need to start off with a bang. Whatever their best cabinet of the year is they need to lead with that to get their fan base back. Can't start out with something no one wants.
Oh no that sucks! I hate hearing stuff likes that. I wonder if that's a common issue?? I don't play this Tmnt all that often either. It does look great sitting where I have it though. I'll have to keep that in mind that the monitor might have problems. Because I'd imagine once it fails there's nothing you could do.
@@The_Bad_Guy. well there’s only one video here that shows what it looks like inside the first wave of namco cabs they did, but I see no info anywhere about replacing the screen for quarter scale arcades. Very disappointing. I haven’t had that problem with the 1/6 scale from New Wave Toys so I’ll continue with those, I did buy turtles in time and so far so good, my four year old loves it.
@@punaforager yeah that's very concerning because these things are in no way cheap and shouldn't fail like that. I don't want to have a $300 paperweight sitting on my shelf you know haha. Well that's great that your kid is liking turtles in Time. I have a 4 year old myself and he's definitely into these little mini arcades. The perfect size for them.
Yeah 300 is definitely very high. Like I said that price tag will definitely scare people away. You basically have to be a super fan like I am haha. Thanks for watching.
That might be the case in a few months if they are still available. I don't know how many of them were made and I didn't want to lose out on getting one. Because then you're stuck buying them from price gougers on eBay for 500 bucks haha. Apparently TMNT was an outlier for pricing. From what I'm hearing their other 1/4 scale cabinets were cheaper. It might have been the licensing that made it so expensive. But you're right though 300 is silly for something like this. I just hope their Real Ghostbusters cabinet isn't 300 as well because I really want that one.
@@The_Bad_Guy. what I see was Ms Pac-Man dig dug and all the others that costed $149 got more expensive I’m glad I bought them before they got more expensive the arcade 1 ups deserve $300 they are more bigger what numskull is selling is to small for $300 maybe numskull should make the size arcade 1 up is making if they want more money
@@bryancook6345 can't argue with that logic haha. When I started buying my first arcade1ups they were 3-400 dollars brand new. Now they are 6-700.... A lot has changed the last few years. And not for the better unfortunately. This hobby got expensive really fast.
This is what 1up should have done!!! paPOw!!! #NostalgiaPower Great video Mike!!! 💥💥👊💥💥
Yes they should have! The quality of these little mini machines are really top notch.
It looks absolutely awesome, Mike.
The attention to detail is off the charts. If a Karate Champ ever comes, I will be the first on line.
I would strongly recommend it. If they come out with one of your all time favorites then you won't be disappointed.
Nice pickup Bad MikeO, play it in the dark to really get the nostalgia!
Ohh yeah that's a great idea!

Need to see footage of 4 people playing on this.
I might have to make that happen hahaha
This is awesome. I think they charge $300 because that license and music cost them a fortune lol
That's kind of what I thought too haha. Either way it's sooo cool. If they are all 300 bucks then i will obviously have to pick and choose the ones I want. That's too much to collect them all haha
This is too cool man! What an awesome piece!
Dude it really is so cool haha. It looks so much like the original it's scary. I can't wait for the Real Ghostbusters cabinet haha.
Dude Love it!! Great review man, Turtles in Time is superior like you said but this is the artwork we all want. X-Men 6 player comes out Im in!
Day one buy for me haha. Closest we will probably ever get to owning a 6 player X-Men. I really hope they make one.
Mikey, we need a Leo and Don, in the circle, lmao.
I do know a Leo and a Don, unfortunately I don't know a Raph.... I do know a Ralfie though haha. Close enough!
@@The_Bad_Guy. 😔
It would be less awkward to play twister with 3 other dudes than cram around that thing. It can be TMNT twister if it makes you feel better.
Next time you come over we are playing TMNT twister

@The_Bad_Guy. well I didn't watch the whole video before I replied. But the og music was awesome!

@@thequarterdeckarcade oh nice! I'm very impressed by this. Never saw a numskull product in person before this one. They definitely have a new fan
This is cool as hell🐢
It really is sick man. But 300 bucks is a tough pill to swallow haha.
Nice hoodie 😁
Very appropriate right haha
My ms pacman and galaga already have screen issues, only being a few years old and rarely played.
