Hallmark Pacman Arcade Christmas Decoration

Leave a reply

I got this Pacman arcade machine model Christmas decoration at a Hallmark store around Christmas 2008 I think. It was half price but still quite expensive, I think it was originally $20-30 USD.

Americans seem to take their Christmas decorations pretty seriously with these very detailed types of fancy decorations. This lights up and makes Pacman sounds when the buttons on it are pressed. It takes 3 watch batteries which now seem to be flat.

I actually noticed a display of expensive Hallmark Christmas decorations here in Australia at a Target store around Christmas 2010, but no video game related ones, mostly Disney or something else that didn’t interest me.

I found this at the Highpoint Gametraders store. It took me a long time to decide if I wanted it or not as it was something that would have come in handy for a video I am slowly currently making. As it now turns out I will have to reshoot that part anyway so it will come in handy.

This model appears to be homemade by someone out of plywood and stickers. It is deceptively light. There is some pixelation on the graphics on the stickers but it looks cool anyway.
