Yes he's making his props from scratch. He's replicated everything he possibly can to make it close to the original. It will have an extra plug to remain unplugged. The original prop never functioned as intended in the movie and he created this one to do it. It's a functioning machine if you watch the video. It doesn't talk like the other ones because it's based entirely on the movie so he breeze and has a creepy music playing. He can't sell them or advertise them as the title character name because that is own by characters unlimited but he could make the marquee say anything you want. The quality of his build for the price is incredible. If you're looking for something unique like myself for a game room this is it.

Sure if anyone is interested in talking to him I have his phone number or his email is: [email protected]

Yea, glad to see some love in this community. I feel weird posting for him since I'm commissioning a piece too but I told him id get the word out because I think this is so unique and a lot of people like us would appreciate the quality and uniqueness to own one. He's already made two and plans to make aproximally 10 total so as an artist peace it will be quite rare. He's going to have them numbered on the inside with a plaque.

Yes, the dome can be removed for people with height restrictions. 80” base to the top of the spades or 77" with spades off. He's really thought of fitting this guy into most spaces. I believe he has the plans to make 3/4 size as well to run on dimes but u have to ask him that.

Yea I've always loved the machine design. The original was just a puppet prop by the designer and never functioned.

Yea that Zoltar isn't much of similarity to the movie version. The company bought the rights to the name. They are slowly producing cabinets closer to the movie but there is no gameplay with the ramp.

Contact Nick, he could give u info. I believe he's confirmed 3 and wants at least 5 to proceed. Since doing that many at a time I'd venture a guess of a few months but not sure? But yes, the quality of work compared to commercial units is a steal in my mind but especially since they're like the movie...soooo much creepier!

Here is the link to his finished product for FAO Schwartz. The marquee is missing because of licensing but he said he can basically title the machine anything you want.

The machine is a 1 scale but i believe he can make a 3/4 size unit for smaller locations. It can be altered to either give a fortune card if you get it in the mouth only or all the time. Contact him if interested in commissioning. He won't make them unless he has at least 5 people on board...last I heard he has 3! See photo below for the entire cabinet.

90" tall
30" wide
30" deep

[email protected] is his email

Nick anticipates completion date is about 4-5 months after he gets at least five confirmed commissions. It's nice to expect at least a little extra time just in case something happens with the fabrication. Contact him with any direct questions but once he gets five confirmed he can begin fabricating. Doesn't sound like he will do a lot of them so it'll be a pretty limited run of at least 10 all numbered for Collectors. The right wheel moves back-and-forth the left wheel moves the pitch of the ramp.

I think it's a niche piece but fits well in a game room setting or movie memorabilia setting. It's fun either way and has gameplay unlike other fortune tellers! Last I heard 5 are confirmed and he only wants to do 10 total. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Yup, is it a WOz or a Magic Girl? There is risk in the process and I'm there with you. Working with an artist with multiple projects can pose delays, hopefully he gets them all done and knocks them out of the park.

Yea I brought that up with him too. He based everything off photos of the original and molds it in software...too technical for me but I also want mine as original as he can get including the fancy earpiece lol.

He's met his quota of 5 at least but will accept up till 10 until the end of the week and then he starts the work.
