This is a Disney Original Fix it Felix Jr. machine. Disney made (commissioned) roughly 50 such machines to promote the film Wreck it Ralph back in 2012. Most of the machines remained in Disney's possession, but a few made their way into private hands. Less than 15 machines are in private hands today. Which is why you hardly ever see this come up for auction.
Condition: Disney purposely weathered each game to give the illusion of age. They wanted each cabinet to look as if it came from 1982. To achieve this they dragged, scratched, weathered the cabinet in certain areas. This machine is a mint example and almost all of the side art survived the Disney abuse. As you can see from the photos, it's gorgeous.
How does game work: The game runs off of a HP desktop computer. What's really awesome is they put in an old CRT monitor which gives the game a true old-school arcade look and feel.
Disney paper work: Disney included paper work with each authentic Fix it Felix Jr. they made. This machine has the paper work. I am not posting photos because people selling fake machines try and dupe this paper work.
Why so expensive?: 200,000 Ms Pac Man's were made. 150,000 Donkey Kongs. 15 of these in private hands. Do the math. Heck even fake Felix machines people made sold for $2,000. This is a grail game for Disney fans and discerning arcade collectors.
Where do KLOV members go to cry?: ChopperTheDog's basement.
Hit me up with any questions.
