I posted about this a week or two ago. This is a pinball toy that I had when I was a kid, but in my opinion it's one of the best pinball toys there is. Which is criminal because there is zero info about it on the web (that I could find). Made by Everbright toys (also with very little info on the web), I got it from Santa when I was 8 or 9. When you look at the kind of pinball toys you get today (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/MARVEL-AVEN...d=1385206693&sr=8-1&keywords=avengers+pinball) it's amazing that one that is about 15 years old is leaps and bounds better.
So what made it brilliant?
I kind of wish that this table was more well-known, and that the company behind it made more designs. Maybe they did! I suppose we'll never know unless someone does some professional digging.

Sorry, didn't realise how blurry that first one was until now.
It's a bit of an old toy but still kind of works. The plunger needs some encouragement and the bumpers are worn out (just a spring coil surrounding a little bulb), and you can see the crack on it. But I still spend five minutes flipping the ball around every so often.

It was a decent size, comparing the ball size to the playfield size it feels about right
It had an LED score display as opposed to a mechanical ticker.
Bumpers, slingshots, ramps, rollover lanes, four flippers (which were positioned sensibly)
A ramp leading to an upper playfield (which has five exits - note the zig-zag one on the left). Only the bumpers scored,but it was nice to have a lot to aim for anyway.
