Could have also been something he cooked up so people could send him more free shit.
I remember a video in which he's trying to make his few months old child play on one of his arcade machines. Can't seem to find it now. Maybe he took it down. But hey ... who knows? You can get all kinds of weird stuff in Japan. Maybe he just bought a pair of animatronic baby hands?
Curious about this - quite the red flag. Did he ever address it again?
Probably not. His family wasn't on his list of priorities, anyway. Games, hard off hauls and "repairs".
Looking through his "repairs" is entertaining in and of itself. He always gives his videos clickbait titles, like "Junk PlayStation clean-up and repair", where by repair he means swapping out the whole laser module, or something to that extent. It's not far from naming a video "Old Game Boy won't turn on! - clean-up and repair" in which he just wipes the thing down and puts in a new set of batteries. Viola. Repaired. He's just a guy with soldering iron, who's not afraid of using it, while following online tutorials. If you can change a light-bulb and solder two wires together, you can be an "arcade repair god", or whatever it was someone in here called him.
