Today I received my first EMDKay model arcade replica, and was so impressed I thought I'd write a review.
I purchased a Dragon's Lair replica as an experiment to see what they actually look like. The model cabinet is made of sturdy wood, I believe balsa. The attention to detail is fantastic. The artwork is finely detailed and very authentic, I suspect it's the actual arcade artwork downsized as every detail appears captured. The screen shows what appears to be an actual in game shot of Dragon's Lair. I was quite surprised to discover that the attention to detail extends to things one would not normally see, as the Dragon's Lair model includes a sticker of the LED score/lives display the Dragon's Lair cabinets commonly possessed.
The woodwork demonstrates equal attention to detail: The buttons aren't stickers, they're little wooden beads appropriately colored and shaped. The joystick is a small replica of the joystick. Even the coin drop has a small square piece of wood under the decal to make it look more like a real coin drop by giving it some dimension.
The model cabinet arrived well packaged. It was tightly packaged in the box to prevent shifting during shipping in a significant amount of paper cushioning, and within that the model cabinet was bubble wrapped to prevent damage.
If you're looking for a stocking stuffer for a arcade enthusiast, these are a nice choice. They're quite well done, and very authentic, and IMO well worth their cost.
