Love your channel and all your pinball knowledge/insight! I understand your argument for Toy Story, even though I disagree. But how’d Super Mario and Back to the Future make the list when each of those IPs already have a pin? Still a great show as always gentlemen. Keep up the good work!

- An anime like Dragon Ball. It writes itselfs. Power up via loops, fights can be multiball or timed missions, "dragon balls" for extra balls or wizard mode , Super Saiyan for field multiplier,... - Formula 1 : I am a fan of Indianopolis 500 and i would like to see a modern pinball take on F1. - Doom: I always liked the lighting of the FX3 pinball and it would be great as a real physical pinball machine. - With the World Cup Football in North America in 2026, i am expecting/hoping on a new football themed pinball machine. - Cannonball Run - It's always sunny in philadelphia.

Read through the comments and there are so many good IP's, many that would be on my list (5thE), but one I would like to toss in there that I didnt see, Tim Burton's 1996: Mars Attacks! A visual stunner, funny, great callouts and sounds, so many great and recognizable actors. The backglass and artwork alone would sell that pin.

My dream theme would be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The Theme song, Monster Fights, Pick your Ranger, Megazord/Dragonzord toys and mechs. Might not be the biggest IP but I think it would be such a fun game to play ( if they can do TMNT a MMPR would work too )

**Top 10 Hottest Pinball Themes:** 1. **Harry Potter:** The video argues that Harry Potter is a no-brainer for pinball, citing its massive global popularity, appeal across age demographics, and the extensive source material that could be used for multiple pinball machines. 2. **Back to the Future:** This theme is praised for its nostalgic appeal, blend of sci-fi and fantasy, and the iconic characters and moments that would translate well to a pinball experience. 3. **Super Mario:** The video emphasizes the enduring popularity of Super Mario in the gaming world and its potential to attract both casual and hardcore pinball fans. 4. **Toy Story:** The video highlights the nostalgic value of Toy Story, the iconic characters and settings, and the potential for a multi-generational appeal. 5. **The Goonies:** This theme is praised for its blend of adventure, fantasy, and humor, as well as its enduring popularity among fans of classic films. 6. **The Matrix:** This theme is seen as a good fit for pinball due to its blend of sci-fi, action, and technology, and its potential to appeal to a nerdy audience. 7. **Top Gun:** This theme is considered a strong contender due to its nostalgic appeal, action-packed nature, and potential to resonate with a male-dominated pinball demographic. 8. **Pokemon:** This theme is considered a global powerhouse with a wide range of appeal, potentially bridging the gap between Western and Eastern pinball markets. 9. **Beetlejuice:** The video argues that the quirky humor, visual style, and potential for a "world under glass" experience make Beetlejuice a perfect fit for pinball. 10. **Taylor Swift:** This theme is considered a risky but potentially lucrative choice, appealing to a younger, female demographic and potentially expanding the pinball market. **Other Notable Themes Mentioned:** * The Legend of Zelda * Superman * Die Hard * Mickey Mouse * Rocky * Breaking Bad * Fight Club * National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation * Nirvana * Finding Nemo * Karate Kid * The Fifth Element * Aladdin * The Lion King * Monsters Inc * ET * Gremlins * The Lost Boys * Kill Bill * King Kong * Despicable Me * Beverly Hills Cop * Lord of the Rings * Reservoir Dogs * Caddyshack * Dumb and Dumber * Step Brothers * The Hangover * Groundhog Day

It’s never been done and couldn’t be done today but The Dukes of Hazzard. I’m surprised it wasn’t made in the ‘80s with all the toys, clothes and anything in between that was made. I can see a ball jumping like the General Lee and a multiball like a car chase… I never played it but even if it sucked, Back to the futur doesn’t fit in that list of ‘’ never been made’’. I would definitely like to see a new one though. Superman is my favorite super hero, I don’t understand why no one has made a new one to compete with Stern’s Marvel line of pinballs. Love your show, keep them coming.

I still think a Mega Man themed pinball would be awesome. Having robots be modes to begin with, if you complete a mode (beat a boss) you get its weapon you could use on other modes with middle button press. Then if you beat all modes you have your wily castle and battle wizard mode. For multiballs you can have Rush multiball, proto man mini multiball etc. I think it would work great!

Okay, I agree with the Harry Potter should be made, Back to the Future and Mario arguably have been done. But here's one to think about: Cats. (The stage musical, not the movie!) Think about it, the music is already written, the story is already there as you progress through modes ( The different musical numbers.) The first half way wizard mode, (The Jellicle Ball) the later second half musical numbers (modes) leading up to the final Wizard Mode (The Heavnside Layer/ The Addressing of Cats with huge sweaping bass and the final chours could be huge.) I mean, there are other tables (The Who's Tommy, and to a lesser extent Data East's Phantom of the Opera) Assuming you have a powerful sound system built into the table the progression almost writes itself as you'd move through the game.
