There is always hope... but man, this is pretty ridiculous.
Wizard of Oz? Another Horrible theme Imop. Most likely chosen because he already had the License. Ugg.
If they want to go fairy-tale, they should have gone with something better... like
a Tripped Out "Alice in Wonderland".

For the 1st time, I decided to look up this guys other works. Some of them are pretty good... but holy hell, they had better do a better job of reproducing them on a pinball. As all non-cartoon sterns look washed out / drab, and super LOW resolution. Totally ruins it.
Id personally prefer to see a Comic artist crew do the art in Pins. Many of the better Comics have mixed media which is simply amazing. Ink, paint and airbrush.
The look is stunning, and stands out much better than the stuff that artists like Jerry does. Much more suited to games... where his stuff is much more suited to movie posters & book covers.

Wow. I have a hard time believing it will live up to that price. Then again, Sterns have been getting away with selling absolute Junk for close to that.
It will be interesting to see what develops regardless.

I second his opinion!
It feels reinvigorating to watch a new pinball company born with big names brainstorming for a kick ass pinball machine. Let's just hope they value the old-school techniques of designing a pinball table.
We want old-school fun as opposed to new technology cheapness...

I don't know about the buttons. They look a little more toyish rather than good mechanical buttons.
I do like the idea of the witch coming and going as randomized. Maybe when the witch pops up ramdomly, scoring to other targets is shut off, or decreased by half, maybe timers time faster than normal.

This guy already promised a completion date of "2011 holiday season".
All we see so far is a rough unfinished playfield toy. I fear his first ETA will pass & then 1-2 years later this whole project will go into a black hole.
I wouldnt put up a deposit.... but I do hope this goes well & results in a cool machine!
