Quoted from rotordave:Wow. Can any one say "reproduction"?
Must be easy enough to cast one.
Surprising there are so many of these missing ...
rd.
Provided you HAVE one. 
Quoted from dementedwarlok:If I would have got it I would have had backallycreations make a remanned one. 152.50 was the exact price it went for. There is things you have to walk away from and that is one of them for me.
Could these be made on a 3-D printer or something? I could absolutely paint them if I had blanks to start with. We need to figure out how to make some of these things, because the price on the NOS ones is getting ridiculous.
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:I have a NOS DD Big Shot. I have loaned my NOS stuff before for repo... and it didn't come back NOS.
I'm happy to help in this hobby, but... I'm reluctant to.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Kerry
Is there anybody on Pinside with the knowledge/time/desire to do this kind of repro? I'd volunteer, but sadly know nothing about the process or legal ramifications, if any. I'd sure be first in line to buy one though!
Quoted from Leeb18509:Lol, I owned a Dr. Dude that I bought with some "alternative" figure installed for the Big Shot before I knew any better. Guess what? It was just as fun as an "original" Dr. Dude. Get a grip people...

You're right - it's just as much fun... but some of us are crazy...

I would love to see what everyone has instead of the factory Big Shot. I'm sure there are some pretty funny ones out there!
Quoted from dementedwarlok:Backalleycreations here in Indiana is willing to make a repo. If anyone sends it to them
Do eeeet.
Quoted from dementedwarlok:Also mad amusements had them for sale at one point. They are out of stock now and I have signed up on the waiting list. I may give them a call and see if they plan on getting more. They were selling them for 15 bucks.
I did hear that not too long ago they were easy to come by and pretty cheap, but the supply ran out...
Quoted from dementedwarlok:I took one for the pinball team to stop this crazy pricing. I bought it. As soon as I get it it's going to back alleycreations to be reproduced. I don't know any prices or if it can be done but I will keep the Dr dude community informed as things happen.
Thanks for taking the plunge! Keep us informed. I'd be into one even if it was a paint-it-yourself deal.
Quoted from lotsapins:I have this if it of help to anyone.....
You found the missing upper half of my Big Shot! 
I'd sure take him if you don't need him!

Quoted from dementedwarlok:well i got my money refunded. if it pops up here I will pay him. if he gets it back he will let me know.
Well, they are pretty rare. Maybe someone at the post office really wanted it!
Another on ebay today. I don't know where $150 came from on these things, but there you go...

Ug, yeah, passing on that. I think I'd be into one for about $75. Otherwise, I'll just stick with what I've got...
Quoted from dementedwarlok:What is used to screw the big shot figure into the bracket?
Screws.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I just went through my machine screw drawers till I found a couple that fit.

Another one on ebay today. $150 seems to be the going rate.
ebay.com link: BALLY DR DUDE PINBALL MACHINE NOS BIG SHOT FIGURE
Nope. Still looking for those three plastics. At this point, the prices are pretty much out of my range and I'm just going to hope for reproductions someday. Might try to make my own as well, but haven't had much time lately.
