New Wave Toys has a new arcade cabinet on the way as they are releasing a Dragon's Lair x RepliCade 1/6-scale arcade cabinet. This is a pretty awesome replica of what is essentially a 12" tall replica of Don Bluth's original 1983 cabinet. Whether you're an old-school gamer who wasted tons of quarters on this in the arcades, or if you're new to the game and only found out about it through the second season of Stranger Things, this is one of the most iconic arcade titles of all time. It was one of the first to use animation cutscenes as part of the experience, which were created by Bluth who had worked on films such as Pete's Dragon, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, and other animation classics. Here's a list of all the things that come with this cabinet.
