What Licenses Would You Like To See Made Into Pins?

[shutyertrap]

If I owned a pinball company and you pitched me this idea, I would hire you right on the spot!

Hurray! Oh wait, you don't though do you? Dammit.

A Dexter pinball would be nice. The search for the prey, collection of evidences, the room setting and a multiball for the killing .

Blade Runner was a excellent pick. So let me see what i would cook up. There are pinball tables for Elvis, AC DC, Rolling Stones, but helloo? Only a old EM based machine for the Beatles?(beat Time) I would like to see a modern DMD Beatles pinball designed after Yellow Submarine . Another genre that has too few pinball machines , is Westerns , so we have a Dirty Harry machine but no "Man with No-Name" pinball , a western themed Pinball with Clint Eastwood and Enio Morricone music would be killer.

Then another theme I'd love to see , Is Quentin Tarentino movies , using quotes and targets based on films , Jules Winnfield , The Bride , Aldo Raines, Mr. Blonde , Bill , Stuntman Mike , Elle Driver, ect.

I like a really nice Three Stooges table. Lots of sound bites and fun modes possible on that.

Dune -- it'd be a completely empty playfield with nothing to do except avoid sandworm traps that'd randomly open up in the playfield.

Regarding the Three Stooges, Ghostbusters and the Beatles, one of my favorite authors has done all 3 for VP over at VPforums.org

Oh you said "Sandworms" , so that made me think a Beetle Juice Pinball would be another great table I'd like to see, you'd have minitures of Beetle Juice, the couple with their faces stretched up , the smoker ghost, the receptionist ,and sandworms , and it would play the Danny Elfman Betelgeuse theme on every pinball load. Each time you get multiball "It's showtime!"

With the kind of pinball art that was goin' on in the '70s and early '80s, I was kinda surprised no one ever made a Heavy Metal table. As an original subscriber, I would love to see this.

They did do a obscure Heavy Metal table , it was ugly as sin , EM table , just look it up in the IPDB , and be ready to be disappointed. Yes I also suggested Red Dwarf in a earlier similiar thread .

I second that. Would be a great theme for pinball!

I'd like to see a Blues Brothers pinball, with music and voice from the movie. Epic car chase, bazooka, and great tunes.

One of my all time favorites. +1

Firefly/Serenity. Hell, just about anything Joss Whedon's done but I specifically have a design in mind dor a firefly table.

My personal contribution to this thread: The Muppets. There's so much material to work with there, and who doesn't love The Muppets, young or old?

Some other ideas I've liked:

DRAGON BALL Z

The FIFTH ELEMENT

Futurama & Ghostbusters

The Matrix

The A-Team

 

[netizen]

Only this

Venture Bros

+1 for FiM. I'm, admittedly, a brony and I would love to see the show translated into pinball form. If it was a huge mode-based game, there would be a lot of work involved- but maybe the show creators will help with the design.

My kids love Phineus & Ferb -- I always thought that would make a great theme because the show is genuinely funny and it would appeal to kids.

And Stephen Colbert should have his own pinball machine. The call-outs would be tremendous.

That would be hilarious. Of course you'd have to have Red State and Blue State Limited Editions.

Ya know, I was all set to mock you for Phineus & Ferb. And then I realized, you're on to something with that one! As a parent of a 7 year old, I certainly appreciate the nods to adults they constantly do. Ton of catch phrases which would make good call outs. Here's what came off the top of my head immediately though...

Whole things starts off by lighting "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today" which has like 6 different things to do and light up (think ToM). You'd have a mystery hole that'd be the "Watcha doin'?" hole, multiball would have to be tied in to an "innator" device, a 3 combo ramp/loop would score you the Candice "Mom, Mom, Mom!" award, and the ball locks would be "Where's Perry?".

Yeah, can you tell my kid watches that show WAAAAYYYY too much?
