Just noticed the video below about this new company/initiative

Hanover, VA
The following quote comes from "Rosh" about a year ago in the Ballarama thread. Very well said & I think appropriate here as well.
"Enthusiasm of starting a pinball company often leads to announcing/revealing way, way, way too soon as typically they have no clue what is actually involved in designing, engineering, coding and manufacturing machines. Throwing together a website is easy, but should be one of the last things on the todo list. The inevitable arrival of exercises and lack of real progress leads to mockery and entertainment for the masses on pinside. The list of these companies is long and continues to grow."

It sounds like it’s going to be some Zizzle made-in-China piece of junk
Quoted from BAR_NL:First machine inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...

What is the website? My Google search did not come up with anything except midway games for fairs and carnivals and this thread

Yay Thunderbirds 2.0

Probably more like competition to a Stern "Home pin" of some sorts at a lower price point.
Quoted from DK:Is this another Alice in wonderland pin?
Uh ha Jackpot! Jackpot!

So I'd expect they know quite a bit about the manufacturing end of their business.
I also agree that this is likely more of a Zizzle type pin.
I think there is a market for smaller/cheaper machines for families with small kids.

Seems like just top 5 salesman in their fields.
Zero pinball experience.
Forgot train wreck this is going to be a biblical apocalypse disaster!
Quoted from Wariodolby:Seems like just top 5 salesman in their fields.
We have top men working on it right now…
You would think they would launch at a toy convention not a pinball show. No way are any of us the target market for this.
“ reimagining the pinball experience for the home.” / “combining classic craftsmanship with modern technology. ”…I believe it will be more of a virtual pin.
Quoted from Wariodolby:I think every great pin from the past should be re themed to Alice in wonderland.

Indeed.
