The best toys are the ones that do something and smoothly flow with the game rather than require excessive shots.
Most bash toys that require hit after hit but don't really do anything and stay in the way are not great toys in my opinion.
Toys like the spinning house in WOZ, the ring magnet in LOTR, the spinning disc in TRON, and the castle in MM are used in the normal flow of the game but do not monopolize the gameplay. Code often makes the toy.
Quoted from epthegeek:Interactivity with the ball is what makes a playfield toy interesting to me. The best example that comes to mind is the TOM trunk. Hit it and it rotates to show a scoop, hit the ball into it and it rotates again. Eventually it rotates to a side that can grab the ball and take it away. To anybody playing, pinball hardcore or not, that's fun stuff.
My only problem with that is that the code requires the trunk shots too much.
