I want to do a feature article on Gameroom Junkies that showcases some of the coolest/most unique arcade toppers that people have in their gamerooms. I'm not talking about playchoice toppers, or stuff that came "standard". I want to see your unique toppers. What'cha got?

Now's your chance to show off!
 
Will post up pics when I get home, but I've got a realistic Boba Fett helmet and the mail in Boba Fett with rocket firing backpack on top of my Trilogy.

Oh, and I have a can of Buzz Cola on top of my Simpsons. And the standard Tron toys on my DOT and Tron.

*edit, finally got some pics to post up:

I'm actually working on several custom toppers right now, but none are complete.
 
Consolidating my game collection and for lack of a better term, putting cr@p to where its out of the way, has created some "unique toppers". Like most toppers, mine have no relation to the game, but WTH, they're toppers. Ghetto...but toppers none the less.

Not really a topper but this is where it sits for now... It's a caricature drawing that was made right after my mom and I taped Starcade back in 1983. Done by one of the street artists near Pier 39 in San Francisco.

This is probably not what you are looking for, but this is the topper for my Nascar.

It is a race used Kyle Bush front bumper and splitter. The lighting by it is tough, but I could possibly get a better picture if you want to use it.
 
Non-standard, huh? Damn. And I was going to take some pics of the cool light-up alien head on an Alien Syndrome I'm going to be near tomorrow. Looks cool all lit up. You can barely see it in the little pic on the flyer:

@NoCashValue - thanks for posting my Q*Bert topper, you beat me to it!

Here's our Baby Pac-Man topper that we made:


Here's my Popeye topper:


I should probably get rid of the other crap on there and just leave the spinach.

that is so freaking cool! i need to have those cans as well, let's see if i can get a hold of them over here in germany, if not i'll have to ask for some american help ;)

btw, i would indeed get rid off the smurf / snoopy stuff and make some nice keyhangers with popye and olive! oh, and one more thing: i would open up one of those cans with the lid sticking out (empty the can of course). imho it would look cool if one of those cans were open ...

once again, cool setup, that's my favorite so far (along with the q*bert and the baby pac)!
 
Tutankhham Topper

Here's my topper for Tutankham -- a pith helmet, just what every tomb-explorer needs!

Of course, it is required to be worn by anyone playing the game...
