Brought on by the the plethora of recent super hero themes, I'm looking at you Stern! What themes would you like to see for new pins?

Mine:

I dream of Jeannie
The Big Bang Theory
Fringe
Warehouse 13
Sherlock

Lets hear yours

(Apologies if this has been discussed)
 
Aliens
Walking Dead / Z Land / R Evil - hell anything with flesh eating zombies
Game Of Thrones (This would seriously sell loads as it has such a huge cult following)
Scooby Doo (for the kids) - spinning bookcases and secret passages a go-go
Motorhead (You can shove your Metallica pin into something "Blackend"!)
 
A large number of machines are film themed to tie in with a recent release which requires licence costs. I would like to see more original ideas that don't lose money to a 3rd party like that but also create a unique new game.

I would like to see a "Build a pinball machine".
When you press the start button, all the playfield object sink below the table or get covered up. You then have very few targets or loops to make to slowly add them back, they will remain for the 3 balls so eventually you can have an awesome table and score big points. Don't ask me how they could do it, I only come up with the genius ideas. It would be non-licenced so the can save that money to make it work.

SMASH, almost the reverse of the above. You start off with everything working and so many hits breaks it (bit like for real). But I don't want MM fake castle falling over comedy, I want things to appear to break, cracks appear, holes appear in ramps, targets go at funny angles but without the crazy air-balls. This theme would stop short of fire as I am not an impractical man, plus it has to be able to repair itself before the next game. If the play field could appear to crack with splinter noises then that would be fantastic.

Cannon Ball, a series of shots opens up ever increasing gaps between steeper ramps until eventually you fire the ball into a boat that sinks for the jackpot or something.
 
How about a pin with 3 different playfields? What i mean here is a triangular configuration of 3 playfields that rotate on a shaft, changing the playfield, from one, to three entirely different playfields within just the one cab. Games could be deeper than ever thought possible as you stand there for days trying to complete the damn thing..haha.
 
Wow thats some left field thinking.

The licensing thing is an interesting one. Almost everything in life is branded now.

Tesco Value Pinball anyone ;)
 
I do love a necrobump...

If it was going to happen it would have done by now, but I'd mess myself if a Hellraiser pin was ever released

I had a cracking idea for a game of thrones pin on the way to the slam. Theming similar to lotr and hobbit. At start up you select which family your part of. Then all the diff modes involve you taking down the other families. A different multiball mode when you destroy one of them and take over a kingdom. Kill the dragon, direwolf, whitewalkers, wildlings, trolls, giants, the hound ect multiballs. Loads of bash toys and cool stuff including some fancy skill shot to get the ball up the wall

Oooh, now Hellraiser would be a super cool pin.
In fact anything from Clive Barker would be cool.

Yeah man big pin head on the playfield, maybe you could knock the pins back into pin head.

"What's your pleasure Mr.Cotton..................................the box!"
 
I'd have to say a table based around world of warcraft.. 2 tables one horde, one alliance with modes based around the recent expansions / game content... also the tables should have the ability to connect via wifi and enter a battle mode against each other, but also the ability to party together to beat bigger bosses etc...

Surprised they never did a moonwalker one because that was quite big when it came out and I'm sure it was a computer game

He was into his pins as well. The arcade was a pretty decent laugh back then. The computer versions were pretty shocking.

it was, I owned it :D

question, I know things like Hellraiser have been modelled for VPin etc... anyone know of anybody that's attempted their own custom-theme pin table?

Was a long term goal of mine to build Evil Dead. Going quicker than I thought , if I come into some spare $$ you could see it by next year up Daventry.
 
Thundercats :D This will be a future project for me...probably a re-theme. Or Enter the Dragon, best film ever!
