Quoted from jgentry:Seems like the list of awesome toys is pretty short.
I think some toys are a lot better when consider the entire area. Like the ship on ST. Yes it just bounces and crashes. But add in the drop target, magnet which is also a lock, and the kickback and you have something pretty cool. Same with the AFM ship.
The list is short because I think a lot of people myself included only classify a true pinball toy as something the ball physically interacts with.
That's why I would vote the satelitte in Goldeneye as the best pinball toys (biased as it's my favourite) but it has the ramp to launch the ball into the satellite where the magnet catches the ball and holds it for you to then repeat the process and knock the original ball off the magnet for multi-ball, it's just great fun and totally unique.
+1 it's a challenge, especially with the satellite moving/turning. The entire shot/mech is a great example of pinball engineering - popup ramp, rotating satelittte, captive magnet in the centre of the satelittle dish, its all wonderfully complex for a pin.
It would be great to see intricate and complex mechs like this back in Pinball again, Stern are great at offering up the illusion of interaction - POTC ship, Vengence on ST but it would be great to see a return to genuine interactive toys especially with a licence like Star Wars.
