Wow, thanks, cool story! What a job, buying toys LOL

So, since I recently got into Stranger Things, I suddenly have an actual reason to buy one of those cool real working arcade games. Before I could not picture any of my figures wanting to play that, but this has changed now. I have checked before but there are so many different brands and sizes that I got lost a bit. Which one would you guys recommend for kids figures that are about 6" high? I never have played an arcade game myself so I have no idea how high they should be compared.

So I never dared to pull the trigger as I feared I might end up with one too small or too big, and they are too expensive for that.

If you please could link me to one in a fitting size that I actually can buy online (as opposite to only available at Target or something) that would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

I can't give you anything specific for 6". I recently discovered that the distance from the knuckle f my thumb to the tip is the same distance as the lower leg of a 4" figure, useful information in my search for scale chairs since I don't tend to carry a figure with me everywhere I go. Find a scale for what you are looking for that you will have with you. Also, there are papercraft games you can print out on line. Bad news is they mostly print 4" scale so you would have to make modifications (which I know you can).

Yeah, I once bought a totally too big deckchair for Alfred. But if you have the wrong furniture, just find the right figure for it! The Werewolf enjoyed it.

I don't really have a local comic or toys shop for buying such specific things though. I had wanted to order the Arcade games from America.

Yet again the X-Men have destroyed the Mansion, leaving the junior team of New Mutants without a place to train in the use of their powers. Fortunately, the Professor's good friend Moira MacTaggert was able to locate a suitable alternate location in Scotland which was available for the summer with a facility they could train in.

I checked my local Tuesday Morning, they had a couple of "The Wall" playset from Game of Thrones and a few figures as well.

There's also the Harry Potter "Common Room" playset which has a very similar design with a few differences. (The fireplace is in the center portion, for example, and the wallpaper and "carpets" are different.)

Tonight I saw a World Peacekeepers playset I have never seen before at Kroger. It was the only WP item I saw.

My small Space Base from Readysetz came in today. It is a bit stiff, having a hard time getting it to sit flat so that the figures will stand up right. Looks good, still experimenting with it and waiting for the big version to arrive.

Okay, cool, it's not just mine, then. I'm trying to flatten mine out by leaving an old PS1 and a bin of Vitruvian HACKS pieces.

Wish it fit 4" figures better, though.

That is why I got both. I have thin phone books under the back and smaller/thicker books on top of the front to slightly overstretch it.

I just got the Funko Batcave playset for Dracula and it is pretty awesome. I'll have some pics of it up later today.

The bone ladder, throne, crystal ball, and weapons are all separate pieces and will work pretty good for 1:18 figures.

Lol those are knock offs of the main characters from GLOW on Netflix. That's hilarious.

No, the knock offs are the two guys that come with the ring.
