After being mesmerised by the Doktor A Spit & Polish Soopa Coin-Up I got a bit excited by the possibility of seeing even more awesome Soopa Coin-Up customs at the upcoming Soopa Show in New York. The best thing is there is a small chance I may actually be able to attend the show. Make sure you check out the Soopa Coin-Up website and a great interview with the creator Erick Scarecrow.

Here’s the lowdown on the recent “sneak peek” revealed by Esc Toy. The Soopa Bros toy prototype is at SDCC 2007 and set to be released Q4 2007. It stands approx. 7″ tall and will initially be released as a DIY platform. The cool thing is it will be a seriously popular toy IMO for all the older guys like me that grew up in the arcades wasting our quarters trying to keep those pesky ufos from taking all your humans or getting as many pellets as you could while running from ghosts.. heh.

Erick Scarecrow happens to be a serious fan of arcade games and hence this toy’s creation. Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on a case or two of these.. haha.I t’s at the Dke Toys booth #4832.
