Love the movie Big. As a kid I would rent that from the library regularly. That was my introduction to Tom Hanks . They have one of those machines at canabie lake NH.
I can't say I actually ever used a Zoltar machine, but they were definitely everywhere in the arcades. The New Wave machine is pretty cool for what it is, but I'll probably just settle for lusting after it from afar.
I do kinda wish we got the "Big" film version of Zoltan/Zoltar. I just prefer its more darker, evil and mysterious look, especially with the red eyes and overall darker paint tone etc. Also it fits really well with the 1980's vibe. But I do understand that people like the original one aswell. Its just my preference though.
It would also be a blast to drop all the 1:6 scale quarters and tokens from all the other NWT products down the ramp into Zoltar's mouth! Too bad the movie is the only one like that.
I'd been thinking of building a non-functiomal version to add to my New Wave arcade so I'm glad to see this coming. However I'd say to expect the release to get delayed. They have the arcade machines down to a science now but when they try something different it tends to be a bit of a bumpy ride. The Coke machine seems to be about three months behind from the last update and I think the boomboxes were late by nearly a year (maybe more). New Wave's products always meet or exceed expectations but sometimes you just got to be really patient.
Dang! I received an email about Zoltar and I was going to be responsible and not spend my money on it. But after watching your video, I have to get one. You're a bad influence, Ralph! LOL. And thanks for the discount code, Ralph! That was a huge help!
Mine just showed up, I have to say it's my favorite New Wave Toys mini cabinet. I do wish we could buy more tickets as I don't want to use the ones that came with it. It comes with two rolls. It even has the attract mode. You can put 1/6 scale tokens in to start it and the tokens go into the collection box inside the machine on the back. lol
Dude! I'm glad you ran a video on this, just pre-ordered it a few days ago and was impressed by New Wave's attention to detail. I love Zoltar even if he sounds like Triumph the insult dog from Conan.
Dude that's awesome! Big the movie is from our childhood and very nostalgic for me too. I can't wait until you get and unbox one of these because we both know you have it pre-ordered. 😀
Seems like it might be a little larger from what the website says. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I probably will.... haha. Unless I can convince Cole to sell me the one from Castles and Coasters... haha.
@@RetroRalph this one said “limited quantities available” at the bottom so I think those who don’t get in on the pre-order might be sad. I pulled the trigger. :) I think it might end up being the highlight of my replicade collection.
Dude what a great review and comparison with the real thing. Btw I don’t know what took me so long, but I’ve been using that Just For Men like you. Bye bye grays!!
Oh I absolutely ordered this the second I got the email about it. I blame Tom Hanks. I do wish New Wave made their toys just a little bigger. Quarter Arcades are too big, New Wave is too small. I wish I had bigger but not too big arcade game replicas. Dang I didn't wish on a Zoltar machine in the middle of a Jersey fair.
I hear you, I have a candy crane and I would replace it with a full size Zoltar machine ASAP if I could find one for a good price. It's such a cool and mysterious piece.
this is such a cool machine iv never played one before but always wanted to i might have to save up now and get the mini one that would be fun also you should see if you can find a real one cheap that be cool
Totally, it's hard not to want to collect their stuff. I think I'm going to get a display case or something, so I can stare at my little miniture nick nacks. We're all very werid and New Wave knows that... haha.
$50 shipping to Canada. Hard pass for me. I have all their previous cabinets and shipping was never this bad. Might be done buying their products if this is standard going forward.
I haven't checked on shipping for Zoltar, yet, but the shipping on the Coke machine was around $30 within the States. Shipping prices have just gotten insane across the board.
@@RetroRalph yeah, I got the email about it the other day, looks pretty cool. I haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet but looking forward to it when I get home!
Man ... i loved that Movie as a Kid i think i should watch it again soon .... it INSTANTLY came to my mind as i saw the machine in the Video. (Especially the "Pepsi Dispenser Machine Scene" came to my Mind)
me and my girlfriend just played this and she got a ticket that read your wish is granted that is a very rare one to get that's what the attendant told us
You're nothing but a shill for this company,and I don't believe you're not being compensated. You spend most of your time with a Zoltar machine,that has nothing to do with the actual product.🤬
🤣 Interesting take, I did the video because I thought comparing the original to the mini one would be fun for people. I’m not being paid or compensated by new wave toys in anyway, just thought it was a fun video that people would enjoy. If they decide to buy the new wave toys version, that’s their own decision. Weird take man… but I appreciate you watching either way.
@@RetroRalph I think it's a reasonable take on your video. Especially when I clicked on more in the description. Where you state "If you would like me to do a video review of your product or for other business inquiries,send me an email". Reads like a Shills resume to me.

Zoltar: "GIVE YOUR TREASURE TO ZOLTAR!"
Also Zoltar: "You have been unwise with your money."
Right?!?! Damn you Zoltar! Thanks for watching bud!
I LOVE NewWave stuff. Not sure if I'll get this, but if you're looking to make a mini arcade, it's an amazing addition.
Love the movie Big. As a kid I would rent that from the library regularly. That was my introduction to Tom Hanks . They have one of those machines at canabie lake NH.
If you buy the Newave Toys version, can you wish that it was Big...? 🤔😂
You can try LOL... that literally made me laugh out loud dude.
He didn't even need Zoltar to tell him that lol
That's a cool little toy that they made. I love that they are bringing the nostalgic collectibles.
Me too, thanks so much for watching! I would love to have you on an episode of coffee talk, how do I get in contact with you?
Now that IS cool!.
Who would have thought that the Zoltar you met was a follower of Retro Ralph? He was pretty spot on with his fortune! haha. 🤣
I can't say I actually ever used a Zoltar machine, but they were definitely everywhere in the arcades. The New Wave machine is pretty cool for what it is, but I'll probably just settle for lusting after it from afar.
ouch, called out by Zoltar, haha. neat they're doing a scale replica of him though!
That ghostbusters hoodie = A++
Originally I was thinking I couldn't think of a worse way to spend $100, now I'm ordering one.
Ordered mine earlier today.. it was an Insta-buy ..had to have it to go along with the rest of my Replicades.. cant wait for Space Ace to get here!
I never heard about Zoltar until I finally saw Big several years ago but I love Disney animatronics so this speaks to me.

Still in my bucket list to buy and own one day.
I got New Wave preorder. Can’t wait
A BIG find indeed.
Oh man, I can't help but think about the movie Big now. Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
Dang! I received an email about Zoltar and I was going to be responsible and not spend my money on it. But after watching your video, I have to get one. You're a bad influence, Ralph! LOL. And thanks for the discount code, Ralph! That was a huge help!
I saw Zoltar for the first time on a trip to California a few years back (Santa Monica Pier). It was cool seeing it in person.
I've seen that one as well, I took the Kids there a few years ago. We might have been there around the same time. It's such a cool piece!
I'm smelling a Big sequel maybe do opposite Retro Ralph becomes a kid or something..straight to DVD for sure but worth a watch.
LOL!
I ordered mine 2 days ago... So excited!! It's going to be a great addon to my nostalgia man cave!
I think so too man, pretty creative of them to even think of doing it. It looks pretty cool so hopefully they deliver. Thanks so much for watching!
@@RetroRalph It literally has great detail if comes out looking like their video. Just seeing the eyes move sold me!! 🤪

Definitely preordering one of these for my mom, she loves zoltar.
That's so cool, she's going to be stoked!
Dude! I'm glad you ran a video on this, just pre-ordered it a few days ago and was impressed by New Wave's attention to detail. I love Zoltar even if he sounds like Triumph the insult dog from Conan.
OMG he totally does ... I wonder what happened to Triumph, he would for sure get cancelled in 2023... LOL. Thanks so much for watching dude!
@@RetroRalph He's still out there bro. www.youtube.com/@TriumphTheInsultComicDogHQ
Dude that's awesome! Big the movie is from our childhood and very nostalgic for me too. I can't wait until you get and unbox one of these because we both know you have it pre-ordered. 😀
And how would you know that? LOL... Damnit!
I'm pumped. I hope its slightly to scale with the other replicades.
Seems like it might be a little larger from what the website says. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I probably will.... haha. Unless I can convince Cole to sell me the one from Castles and Coasters... haha.

I ordered 3 of them. Very cool
Would love a 3/4 cab of Zoltar!❤
@RetroRalph___Wow! Just sent you an email. Cheers!
Big surprise that the guy who basically turned his house into an arcade loved Big growing up. I am of course talking about myself...
🤣🤣🤣 love it man, thanks for watching!
this is such a cool machine iv never played one before but always wanted to i might have to save up now and get the mini one that would be fun also you should see if you can find a real one cheap that be cool
Wish someone would make a screen accurate version with the opening mouth and the ramp you aimed your coin into.
Well I guess the title isn't a complete lie!
New Wave is killin' it as of late
Totally, it's hard not to want to collect their stuff. I think I'm going to get a display case or something, so I can stare at my little miniture nick nacks. We're all very werid and New Wave knows that... haha.
@@RetroRalph I started collecting them a couple of years ago AND NOW I CAN'T STOP!
Needs to be a little bigger but still cool
I love it! New wave is getting my $99
omg awesome. what do you do when the paper runs out
As the operator, you would purchase more of the fortunes and load the machine back up.
@@RetroRalph omg I just ordered mines
Sooo COOOOL!!!
Thanks for watching man!
Great Job Ralph. So true on your fortune. Beard looks good, more "just for men". Haha. Keep on doing what your doing.
I just put a fresh coat on earlier this week... LOL. Thanks for watching bud, I hope all is well!
I wish it was big 😞
That's what she said... haha. I kid ... I kid... Thanks for watching bro!
@Retro Ralph How did you know??? 😲
So wait...did Zoltar give you the same ticket four times? Did Kim load the machine with multiple "stop spending $" fortune cards??
Hmmmmmm, I wasn't thinking that at the time, but you might be onto something... LOL. Thanks for watching dude!
Married men can put this next to their bed while their wife is changing and say "I wish I was big". 😲
Just ordered one..
its nice!

That the New Wave Toys version?
The one I show in the video is the real one, but I cut to the new wave toys trailer in the middle to show it. It's a pretty cool little replica.
@@RetroRalph yeah, I got the email about it the other day, looks pretty cool. I haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet but looking forward to it when I get home!
I did one in Las Vegas for a $1 and thought it was pretty cool. Especially for a $1 😂
Wait so the ticket isn't specifically for you??? Childhood ruined
LMAO!! Sorry to ruin it for you. It's like when Bruce Leroy found "the master" in the last dragon. I imagine that's your face right now.
Man ... i loved that Movie as a Kid
i think i should watch it again soon .... it INSTANTLY came to my mind as i saw the machine in the Video.
(Especially the "Pepsi Dispenser Machine Scene" came to my Mind)
me and my girlfriend just played this and she got a ticket that read your wish is granted that is a very rare one to get that's what the attendant told us
Hahahahaha iconic machine I seen one for sale in my town in New York in December for $450 but I didn’t scoop it
Zoltar is Benicio Del Toro
OMG that's hilarious !! LMAO
Where did you get that hooded sweatshirt. #want #need #iseethatinmyfuture
I'm sure that's all you saw in the entire video. I will shoot you the link later today... haha. Thanks for watching bro!
I wish I was big
looks inspired by the original machine but nothing like a replica if that's the machine its supposed to look like next to you.
HHAAHHHH he has ypu pegged
Zoltar won't ever shut up... LOL. Thanks for watching bro!
@@RetroRalph ahhahaah Oh i know every time we go to one of the resorts they have one we gota play it LOL
I can't find anyone that's actually received one of these, and you can't order one from their site.
Why does Zoltar have a Mexican English accent??
$100!?
The new wave toys version, not the by Characters Unlimited Inc. those sell for around 8-9K new. The New Wave Toys mini one is pretty cool though. 👍🏻
@@RetroRalph does it take real money
Na toll wenn es die mal zu kaufen gäbe? Erst 100 D dann nicht Lieferbar jetzt 150 D nicht Lieferbar Verarsche.......
