Quoted from jwilson:The typeface should match the rest of the game though.
Yep good suggestion. Will check out if the font is out there.
I will make others up. Just need to make sure this is bullet proof before making a batch up.
PCB is completed for various pins but it does not cater for all.
Awesome. Would love to see an AFMr (CGC) version. Also, availability to customize/personalize animation would be really cool (maybe a must for me). Of course price is a consideration as others have mentioned.
Quoted from Cantabkiwi:That’s super cool!
Can we add or change the image?
Like on Rick n Morty to say either “away we go” or “new adventure”
Or "SQUANCH BALL" like the static aftermarket insert that someone made? It just fits so well...
Okay, I'm really chomping at the bit on more info about this. I know you probably can't commit to an availability, price, ability to customize video, and other details yet, but can you please let us know what platforms this would work with? Selfishly, I'm interested in the CGC games (AFMr in particular).

Ive not looked at the CGC pins due to not having one.
I would need info on the shooter lane switch wiring etc.
If you want to help out in that PM me.
This looks like a great option for adding power for mods.

There is also a similar option for Stern SAM/Spike systems.

And $20 cheaper!
Quoted from bowtech:In for a Flintstones and no fear model
Quoted from ToucanF16:And $20 cheaper!
It's cheaper because it's just a power splitter. The one from pinball life is an actual power supply.
Quoted from Calfdemon:I am just scared of what I would imagine the price might be.
Why, did you just drop $2200 on a 24K gold leaf Indy topper?

I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere, but I obviously missed something somewhere. Now I am off to search threads on Pinside for gold Indy toppers... lol

I had already found it and watched the SDTM video... I like toppers, but come on... that's fricken ridiculous and crazy money. 
Quoted from Calfdemon:I like toppers, but come on... that's fricken ridiculous and crazy money.
I agree, but it is pretty awesome, IMO.
Sorry @vimtoman, didn't mean to stray off topic of your great animated launch button mod.
Looks great! Can OP post a pic of it on a workbench with a regular launch button?
Is the size bigger? Smaller?
Its a standard 60mm Launch button.
Going to be programmed with pre-set animations.
Price wise Ive not totalled as still sourcing parts.
Looking at increasing flash for more anims.
I wouldn't go overkill on the start button version, it's something you only look at once to start a game.
Simple animations with same game-font "Start/etc" wording is fine.

I would tend to agree, but really I think the mod is more for the observers than the player as personally I don't stand so close to the start button to actually see/read the front of it while playing. However, I love the idea of animating it with theme integrated eye candy.
BTW, this sort of reminds me of a Nest thermostat. Function isn't really changed by having the screen, but offers more visual feedback (mesmerizing for those of us attracted to shiny objects). 
"Squanch Ball" would be cool if you could work with that as an alternate option. I am interested in this mod once completed as well.

This.. I said it before too. I love the portal animation and Rick's fingers coming out flipping you off. I just wish it said Squanch Ball instead of Launch. But I would take it with Launch too if that was the final version.
Have cleaned up and made videos more vibrant in color.
Button used to emulate shooter lane switch.
Four synced videos.
1.Plain warp
2.Pickle Rick finger 
3.Rick finger
5.Launch ball anim
Final proto being made for test on friends pinball before I make the first batch.
