Did a search but didn't see this mentioned.
I ran across Hallmark's news about the new ornaments, Galaga will be this year's arcade cab.

I thought someone would do it with the Pac-Man one released last year. I never saw one.
I was hoping for a Donkey Kong cab this year, but it makes financial sense for them to do this one: the tooling for the cab is already in place. Yes, I know Galaga and Pac-Man have two different cabs, but I bet if you put these side-by-side they're the same thing.
-
obviously they have rights with midway / namco, unless they sign nintendo I wouldn't expect to see a dk anytime soon. pretty neat though as I have the Pac one.
-
Awesome! Now my Pac from last year won't be lonely. These make great stocking stuffers (for me at least...) as well.
-
Very nice. This will be on the tree next to PacMan. I hope they eventually add Nintendo as well as I would really like a Donkey Kong.

Well, since the Pac-Man one used the Ms Pac/Galaga shaped cab, I would assume they'll be the same shape ;D The colors are wrong on the marquee and kickplate, and the CP is wrong, but the artwork itself looks pretty close on the side and front, at least from what I remember.

I'd be willing to bet...2010 Hallmark Arcade Ornament -- Ms. Pacman... 2011 galaxian/bosconian? similar style cabs.

Don't forget every piece of art on the Pac ornament except for the CPO was wrong when compared to the original too. I still really like them though.

The CPO was wrong too. On the ornament, it has a regular ghost and Pac-Man graphic from the game (and Pac-Man for the start buttons). On a real Pac-Man, it has the tall skinny Pac-Man with legs and the ghost with an big open mouth, like the sideart.

Why yes you are correct. Nice catch. At least now I can say EVERY bit of artwork on the ornament is wrong. ;D Still, Neat Knick Knack...
