Voted Gonzo, because my wife likes purple.

Statler/Waldorf would be my first pick, followed by Fozzy and Animal (but I don't like red machines).

If it would help get them made, I'd buy two. So many possibilities what that themem.

You didn't make an option for NONE!!

rd.

The muppets are cool. The last muppet movie with Jason SeaGulls was very cool indeed.

Bad pin theme. Very bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

rd.

Beaker may be my favourite as long as it has a 'total panic mode'.
As far as Miss Piggy goes I must be shure she is only featured static. Just the thought what could happen if you make her angry when you (accidently) tilted.

Yeah, I can definitely think of many more themes I would be interested in... The Muppets not one of them.

A write in vote for None

2nd and 3rd that.

A vote for Any!

A vote for the swedish chef !

Id want a Crazy Harry LE...they could reuse the AC/DC TnT detonators, maybe create a super-size shaker motor for it.

i wasn't sure if my daughter's favorite was Animal or Beaker. i asked her and she said "MEEP!"

Beaker it is.

i would buy this game in a heartbeat! the whole family just adores the muppets. (how about a Fraggle Rock LE?)

Mahamana LE or Sveedish Chef. :p

What, no Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem LE?

I would pay $10K for a Master of Muppets LE machine right now. (I can't believe nobody made that joke yet.)

I vote Pepe' the King Prawn...it may be a bad pin but... "It would be sooo romantic ookaay"

where was the Not gonna buy one option?

I would go for gonzo or kermit. blue and green are my favorite colors. animal is my favorite muppet though, I just dont like red all that much. Muppets could be a great theme for pinball. I just hope if it ever happens they reference the muppet show more than the newer stuff

NONE

Amen brother!! He ROCKS!!
What about the Count?? Could have a kid friendly horror themed pin???

I am sorry but i would love a Sam the Eagle LE (SAMLE)

It would be in the player select language menu.

This pin would be a great chance of pace from the superhero/sci-fi/classic rock rut. It would also be a great one for an LCD. I could imagine modes based on each iconic movie (Muppet Movie, Great Muppet Caper, Muppets Take Manhattan, etc.) leading to a Rainbow Connection wizard mode. And Animal Multiball would be epic.

A Statler and Waldorf topper that would only pop out from the top at certain times would be amazing.

couldn't agree more. hasn't the market been saturated with superhero and corny dad rock pins yet?

I would have to vote with Rotodave on this one , NONE. The Muppets pin would be one title that I would be skipping if it was to be produced. I just can't picture it as being a hit.
Just my 2 cents. Some would love one , I know, but not me.

Does Beaker LE have explosions?
What about Peppy The Prawn LE?

where's the love for professor honeydew to go along with beaker?

how about an lcd backglass that changes to reflect the game mode that you're in. that way no one muppet (or groups of muppets) would be left out.

additionally, it would be cool to have the image look like a static translite, but then animate during on key events to stun/shock the viewers

I would prefer a "group shot" of the main muppets as opposed to just 1 character.

Chose Beaker but if there was a MMM Bork Bork Bork Swedish Chef LE I'd be all over it

I don't understand the Muppets as a theme for pinball?

My funds will be safe from that decision!

Animal without a doubt

sweedish chef!

To me it's perfect for pinball. Just like the simpsons, lot's of cool different characters.
Would buy this in a heartbeat! And i know a lot who would too if the pin was great.

+1

Unless it's Zombie Muppets

Yeah, I'd prefer a pin that focuses on all of the central "Muppets" vs. just a single one. It would be as if they created a Simpson's pin and made you choose either a "Homer", "Bart", "Lisa", "Marge", edition.-although if that were the case I'm sure Homer would be the overwhelming favorite.

An action collage of all the characters would be great! They could focus the playfield on various aspects such as putting the "Electric Mayhem" band in the pops, have a swamp for Kermit, a stage with an animated Fozzie Bear, "Pigs in Space" for Miss Piggie, a cannon for Gonzo to shoot out of, and a balcony for Statler and Waldorf where they can heckle you.

+1 all fantastic ideas! And of course corresponding music for each mode.

None...never...no way

Whatever ice...that's what you say now.

lots of things to do here

Trust me - if Stern wants to tap into the home market (even more so then they have done), this has incredible sales potential.

The Muppets are as close to a universally known license as there is and there are far, far more people that like the Muppets than all the recent band and comic book titles combined. This is a title that would resonate with a very large portion of the 5 to 75 age group.

I can certainly see why this isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. But Disney wasn't stupid when they bought the Muppets. Very few themes have to potential to have cross generational appeal that could bring new interest to pinball like the Muppets could.

The Muppet Show was a show for adults that could be enjoyed by kids. No reason a pin couldn't be the same. In case you don't believe that - see who else likes to play Medieval Madness besides pinheads. MM was (and still is) a big hit with casual players and those typically disinterested in a typical pin. A (good) Muppets game would be the same.

I cold probably sell a dozen units to friends without even trying and only two of them currently have pins.

Actually, if you know the whole story of how Disney bought the Muppets, they were pretty stupid about how that whole thing went down.

I have NO idea how I would swing it, I just know that I would *have* to buy if they came out with one. I LOVE the Muppets and the idea is great.

...but, having said that, the theme itself hasn't proven itself to be overly strong lately. The most recent movie was a disappointment in Disney's eyes. The characters, while well known to an older generation, are not perfectly well known to kids today. That's kind of what the movie was all about, actually, and it rings true. Thanks in LARGE part to how Disney acquired and then more or less squandered the Muppets for *years*, they are not as big as they once were. I think that a Muppets pin would sell strongly to a subset of pinball collectors, but would actually be a pretty big route flop - it wouldn't earn tons from kids, who both don't play pinball anyway and don't really know the theme, and it wouldn't earn tons from adults because if you put the pin at the local bar, it doesn't seem very many to be playing a machine with Ms. Piggy doing call outs.

With all that... I voted Gonzo. Love that guy

I would buy them all. Sure they will be $15,000 by Christmas!

I don't like how/why the sale to Disney happened, but understand it.

The current of generation of young kids are't the ones that are going to buy it. Their parents and grandparents who have the money will. But the kids WILL learn about the Muppets and will love them like the last two generations.

I also don't think it will do as badly on route as some think, but it may not matter if Stern can sell most of the production to the home market.

I'd take a Gonzo LE
