I've seen a picture of this thing where the little white things on top of the monster card zones are actually attached to the cards and used to flip them up. Stupidest idea ever. Seriously, they should stop trying to make flashy "cool" stuff and actually make A FUNCTIONAL DUEL DISK! It's seriously not that hard. If I had the time and patience, I could easily build a wooden duel disk that doesn't have ANY of the problems we've seen in disks so far, except it wouldn't have an LP counter. It would also be way too heavy. Here's what such a disk can do: 1. Deck Zone holds up to 100 (sleeved) cards, and is spring-based to hold the cards in place. 2. Graveyard... same as deck. 3. Has an RFP zone... same as deck. 4. Has an extra deck zone that can easily hold 15 cards, spring-based. 5. Bottom of the disk is covered, so the cards in the S/T zone aren't visible from below. 6. Has a Field card zone that holds the card securely in place, same as S/T zone. 7. Monster zone has "over"-corners that hold the cards in place without bending them or covering any important details. Now THAT is a duel disk. The only problems are a missing LP counter and overweight. Why can't they make something like this? True, but it DOES have the annoying flippy-thingy.

Why can’t they make something like this?

The one that they are releasing will clearly not require the failure that was the wrist dealer: http://www.yugioh-card.com/japan/toy/?mode=dsk That seems to be true for this particular model, but this is not the one that’s being released.

Hopefully the Yusei Duel Disk will be alright; I want to say it can't be worse than the Mattel ones, but we all know it could very well be. Especially since the Academy Duel Disk wasn't all that bad.

I used http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to determine the fonts, by uploading scanned lines of text. It looks like the font is "Ravenna" for the Adventurer's name, and "Caxton Book" for the rest of the text. Is there somewhere I can upload a MS Word document, or someone I can email it to, so it can be made available? I’ve created a MS Word document containing a character template.

I'm hoping that this first success will open the doors to a slew of other personalized Inn-fighting Adventurers. Plus, Drunken Masters are fun. Note on fonts: in the end, I had to copy and paste individual letters from scans of other cards in order to work out the respective fonts for HP/Skill/VPB and each Adventurer's name. However, for everything else I used Caslon/AdobeCaslon. Worked out pretty well, I think, but there's probably a font out there somewhere that matches up even closer to what's on the cards... Maybe that's just me being a perfectionist though. Here’s my first try at this:
