The creator of Smash Bros. has said that he strongly considered cutting Pac-Man from the roster if Namco forced him to use the Ghostly Adventures design.
The one thing about Hanna-Barbera cartoons is that alot of their characters especially funny animal ones tended to have a headwear, they probably gave the cartoon version of Pac-Man a hat just because.
Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man would ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart as I grew up watching the cartoon in the early 1980s....so much so that I kind of wish that Bandai Namco would release an OFFICIALLY LICENSED 1/6 Scale Cold Cast Resin Statue of the Ghost Wizard Mesmeron, which would look pretty neat on my computer desk.
To me the best pacman design....is Modern pacman because why not....he is Pacman....to be modern pacman is tobey maguire while pacster/patga Pacman represents well....tom holland..... Hey i adore some of the others designs like cereal pac,wedge pacman but i wish cereal pac had boots and also being in the arcade art than that GOD DAM Q*BERT MUTATION!!!! 1:10 spanish midway pacman is closer to being good but.....he is still being call Q*bert mutation.
My favorite design of Pac-Man is the “Namco Community Magazine” one. There’s something charming about that design in the magazines. I’ll just call him “NG Pac-Man”. It’s a really cool redesign. It looks like a 2.5d model.
Lane… Those concept designs for the original Pac-Man design… WHERE did you find them? I need to know… And are there any more of them? I’ve never seen those in my entire life and they are a seriously truly truly incredible early look at the game
They came from a RU-vid video uploaded by Bandai Namco Studios. They did a series called Namco Museum of Art, where they covered the artwork of Namco's classic arcade games, including Pac-Man. I'll provide a link in case you want to check out the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YbQjPKp-A6Y.html
