Although, I’m not a fan of the theme, this is one smooth playing pin with lots of fun shots. The toy box is a great gimmick. I’ve played both the Pro and the Premium and I much prefer the Pro. The second floor playfield in the Premium is an unnecessary distraction from a beautifully uncomplicated design.

To date this is the most fun I’ve ever had playing a pinball machine.

A wonderfully unique playfield with some really fun shots and scoring oportunities.

When I walked up to this machine and saw the size of the flippers, I thought, “I’m going to hate this game!” I was happy to be proved wrong! A very fun game.

In Banning, during a three day, free play weekend with over 500 machines to choose from, I kept finding myself drawn back to this truly unique pin. The invisible, warped playfield, while initially frustrating, is a challenge begging to be mastered. The spinning bumpers are entirely unpredictable. If you get the chance, play a couple games just to watch how the ball moves; it's the next best thing to playing pinball on acid.

This is my first in-home machine and after a year I'm still as excited to play it as I was the day it arrived. I'm still learning new tricks. In addition to being a fun playing machine, it's a nice looking piece of furniture with a theme and artwork that never looks outdated. One thing I will ding it for though, my highest scores have all been achieved by ignoring the signature head and just shooting the middle ramp repeatedly for unlimited millions. That essentially means that when you're playing to get the highest score you aren't utilizing the parts of the game that really make it fun.
