    I just received the New Wave Zoltar last night. I placed it on a shelf next to my TV in the living room to surprise my family by putting it on IR (infrared mode). So when they walk by he will talk to them. I just realized I can activate it with my Comcast remote control. I went to turn up the volume on the tv and it kept activating Zoltar’s attract mode.

    I just love the amount of detail put into this from the figure to the cabinet itself and plus the official phrases as well.
    One thing I do specifically like is the movement of the head and mouth I know I like how it’s not in sync gives it a proper old vintage automaton feel to it.

I am so happy with my preorder though of this machine, great review. My only small complaints with the machine is that the order of fortunes resets to the beginning of the cycle every time you switch it off and on (maybe the full size version does the same? 🤷‍♂️) and that the cabinet is made of plastic instead of wood like their other Replicades and the original machine.
