The Thing(John Carpenter)
Goonies
Castlevania
1. A tornado-related theme, but do it in a throwback early 90’s alphanumeric style.
2. Vaguely sexy alien ladies with elongated heads doing ballet poses. Give it a killer bonus countdown and it would absolutely rule.
3. Heroic eco-terrorist in a reverse Terminator time travel scenario. Could be legendary if paired with a sick soundtrack.
Quoted from Krupps4:Honestly, that’s an awesome idea. Can you imagine if a pin company could pull that off and do a decent job of it? I’m all about something creative and different.
Anyone who's put off by the imagery of the General Lee can take the role of Jason and do something about it.
1. The Fifth Element
2. Dune
3. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Harry Potter, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Samurai Jack
What about a Michael Jordan pin? Could use the Bulls intro music which is pretty iconic. Game winners, dunk contests, random weird modes with golf and baseball….gambling and cigars.
Quoted from Lhyrgoif:Jules Verne themed pin (like journey to the centre of the earth, 20k leagues under the sea...)
It’s rare but it exists: Verne's World
Quoted from allsportdvd:NHL would be awesome
always always thought a World Cup soccer would work well as a re theme, i like the game for what it is as pure fun and hearing goallllllllllllll
I am dead serious here. These would be great pins if done correctly.
1) Battlestar Galactica (2004 SIFI Series)
2) Buffy the Vampire Sayler
3) Happy Tree Friends
1 Pee Wee (1st movie and Playhouse combined)
2. Beetlejuice
3. Regular Show
Honorable Mention:
Drop Dead Fred
Venom (comic)
Transformers (original cartoon)
My current list for themes that have not been done yet:
1. The Witcher: Preferably based on the TV show.
2. Halo: Preferably based on the game.
3. The Rings of Power: Preferably after a few seasons but lets be honest it's a no brainer with Lord of the Rings from Stern and The Hobbit from JJP.
Themes I would like to see get redone:
1. Star Trek: Preferably not one based on the Discovery show. (I know it's been done several times in the past and the last game from Steve Ritchie was great but I wouldn't mind another.)
2. Spider-Man: Not a Venom pin but a Spider-Man, it could even be Spider-Verse but I would love another Comic based Spider-Man.
3. Mario: Would Just print money again, and it's classic arcade/video game perfect for pinball.

Goonies
Castlevania
I have said Castlevania for many years and also had on my list. The music enough is awesome for a pin too.
If Stern ever licensed a decent amount of songs (30-40) I’d buy these influencers:
Cypress Hill - Hip Hop / Hard Rap with Latino influence.
Santana - Rock / Latino
Jimi Hendrix - Rock / Alternative
My cream dream Supreme theme is Airplane and Airplane 2 or just Airplane on its own. Have the white lane, red lane, green lanes be the loops and have the bickering audio go through the bit as you combo the loops. Another fun feature/mech could be an Airplane toy similar to the Cactus Canyon train crashing into the playfield, and a shit hits the fan match game. Lots of potential...Mayo Clinic Multiball, Gifts from the (insert religious solicitor here) mystery scoop rewards, and Crash Positions mini-wizard mode (shaker motor goes crazy).
Terminator 1 - Play as Kyle and Sarah, like in the Xfiles pinball table.
Danger 5 - way too niche, but damn it would be hilarious call outs non-stop...and ya know, killing Hitler
Dream Themes (remaining):
Harry Potter - premium models of all three pins that will be designed on HP license This game is atop the permanent wish list and therefore is dropped from (5) below.
Top Gun2 - but Top Gun1 would be fine, too.
Matrix - basing on film #1 is a must.
Black Sabbath or Ozzy pin - don’t wait .. just do it!
Hellboy - basing on original with Ron Perlman is a must. Can be film 1 or 2.
Predator - original version with Schwarzenegger.
I don't have a 'dream theme' (I've made them already), but if I had to pick 3 'passion pins', I'd go with:
Monty Python
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
Blues Brothers

I think I replied to this in a different thread, but Hellboy would be awesome. Even the comic version with Mignola art. So much content to pull from. BPRD shots would be a ton of fun and there are SO many stories you could adapt for the game.
