    Quoted from athena:

    I guess you guys have never seen
    NEMESIS (peyper) ??
    Walkyria?? (Joctronic)??
    Valkyrie (jeutel) ??
    Iron Balls (stargame) ?
    Mephisto (stargame)
    And a German company called Geiger did amazing art for their conversion kits!
    Check out Miss World!!
    Not to mention superman, middle earth
    To pick 5 is impossible!! So really it’s better to ask.......what’s everyone’s favourite from each manufacturer?! That might make it easier?!
    And nowadays zombie yeti and dirty Donny make beautiful stuff like Primus!!
    On second thoughts, no. There’s just too many brilliant backglasses
    I’ve attached some pics for everyone to see!

    Nemesis looks like they just stole a Boris Vallejo painting TBH. Attached.

    I'm definitely a big Haunted House fan. Also Sorcerer, Black Knight and Blackout. So many from this era. I also really love the infinity glass backglasses...Space Invaders is awesome, as is Empire Strikes Back. Vector too!

    Too many EMs to name them all...seriously so many beautiful works of art.

    Going more modern, both X-Men LE backglasses are beautiful, as is Star Trek LE and BK:SoR LE. If translights count, I personally really love Mustang (all three...but pro especially), and Black Knight:SoR (again, all forms).

    Quoted from Krupps4:

    This is an outside the box selection, but I’ve always thought Close Encounters is a great looking pin with a cool backglass. I think part of it for me is the color scheme.[quoted image]

    I remember a minty one at Aladdin's Castle in 1978, and it indeed was impressive. The bright yellow backbox and super-clean-ness contribute to that.

    Bally Playboy is there too, but it must be like new.

    Love love love my Centaur but actually think the backglass is the weakest part of that pin.

    How about Black Hole? A still picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s all about the rotating light animation.
