Compared to the standard Arcade1Up machines, these versions are less expensive for several reasons. Firstly, the Deluxe models stand at over 5 feet tall, making them suitable for adults, whereas the Special Editions are just under 4 feet tall. To bring the height of the Special Editions up to 5 feet, you can purchase a universal Arcade1Up Riser for $59. If you don’t opt for the riser, you may need an adjustable barstool unless the cabinet is intended for children, in which case the original size would be more appropriate.

The Deluxe editions boast 17-inch displays and light-up marquees, while the Special Editions feature a logo panel instead of faux coin doors and lack the illuminated marquee. In summary, the Special Edition offers smaller screens and missing out on the lit marquee compared to the Deluxe edition.

On Reddit, users are actively discussing several key issues, one of which is the runback process. In most games, especially those from FromSoftware like Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3, when you’re defeated by a boss, you often have to travel a good distance before you can challenge them again. This journey involves precise maneuvering, jumping, and often encounters with smaller enemies. This not only makes the game more difficult but also extends the time needed to defeat tough bosses. Some players have noted that recent titles from FromSoftware have been working to shorten this runback time and implement new respawn mechanisms. Most players appreciate these changes as they allow for a quicker return to the battle, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

If you can’t hold off until next year for the new Funko Pop!, consider the Astro Bot Nendoroid instead, priced at $130.

However, it might be too pricey for casual fans. On the other hand, you can snag some Astro Bot t-shirts for around $20 each. There’s a range of colors and designs to choose from, featuring images like Astro Bot resting or popular game enemies.
