These aren't as tall as the Hallmark ornaments nor have the coin slot details.
However what makes these a much better value than Hallmark's is that these actually have working games!!! Complete with intro & demo screens like the original arcades had!
You can hardly tell but the top of the arcade is also lit up.
I wish I could add these internals to a Hallmark case but that wouldn't be very cost effective.

Are these the Tiny Arcades?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4G5GDY/re ... UTF8&psc=1

I have several of these, mostly from Wal-Mart at $12. I'm looking for Dig Dug, Galaga, and Frogger.

I did pick up a few extras of one to see if I could find some custom 'skins' to change them into other titles.

I saw these at Newbury Comics but they want $25. I skipped them. I found them on Amazon for less but still a lot. I like that they can actually be played. It's that feature that makes them tempting. I do wish they were a little taller. I'm glad you posted the pic with the figures. I can see the IJ crate under it which helps me see what it would need to work.

I was thinking if someone had banks of the different games (maybe 3 or 4 in a row) making the right size board for them to sit on would be easy. just cut and paint it black. you could even use stickers or paint to carry each cabinets design down the front and each end.

I picked up Dig Dug off Amazon during a Memorial Day sale. I’ve never seen it or Frogger in any store.

Galaga is available in Amazon for $12 and prime shipping right now along with Pole Position (with steering wheel which may actually just be a joystick) for $20.
