Title: 2018 Donkey Kong Hallmark Ornament
Post by: SlammedNiss on December 12, 2018, 09:46:26 pm
Didn't realize they were bringing these back. I have the PacMan and Galaga versions, and a friend brought this one to my attention tonight. Just a heads up in case anybody else would want one, as they are sold out online and you would need to pick up in a B&M store.

With a 10 billion IP, I would not be surprised to see DK Arcade slippers that light up when you slosh around at night.

What is the weight of these things, and can you mod it to make it work like a real DK?

Is it worth $25?

Nice!  I've got the Galaga and Pac Man ornaments too, my girls love hitting the buttons haha.  Definitely want to pick up the Donkey Kong!

In 2018, these things should be playable or at least have an animation on the screen.

I have the DK as well.  It seems very well built to me but the sounds are very off.  For what it is I'm happy with it.   :cheers:

True - figure you could always get the Tiny Arcade games instead - They're cheaper and function ! ( though no Donkey Kong )
