Japan's toy manufacturers are on a mission: take every real world object, recreate it in plastic, but smaller, then sell it to Japanese consumers. Next to be plasticized and shrunk: deluxe Sega arcade cabinets.
Classic, deluxe Sega arcade cabinets, that is; the kind one blew extra quarters on for that realistic, sit-down experience. Toy maker Organic is bringing tiny versions of Thunder Blade, Space Harrier, Out Run, Hang On and, secretly After Burner to collector shelves this Spring.
They're about four-inches in length, if you need to plan your mini-arcade dioramas in advance or whip up a custom Ryo Hazuki to the proper scale. Check your local importer for pre-order details.
