Quoted from WizzardRob:Who or what is "Stiffton" Deadhead?
A couple of the previous answers here 
:
Quoted from Medisinyl:"Stiffton" was a bit of a throw to Scared Stiff--in that game, the Stiff in the coffin has a top hat, which I see as a "high society" accessory. The "ton" suffix is often associated with high society (old Britain) and wealthy characters (Thurston Howell for example). DeadHead is obvious I imagine
Quoted from Medisinyl:Something to this effect:
"It's a throw to Scared Stiff, while making it a name. The "stiff in the coffin" has a top hat, indicative of "high society/fashion," which is where the "ton" suffix comes in...an old UK term, referencing high society and fashion. DeadHead helping tie it in with the games further."
While it's been a very popular choice many have liked, I didn't expect everyone to want that, which is why the customs were an option early on.
Now that is interesting. I googled it but obviously could not find a single answer.
Cool that you put so much thought into that. Nice reference
I would like a v2 Scared Stiff casket and Gargoyle please. Don’t need the other pieces but will take the full set if needed. Thanks!

Quoted from DakotaMike:Man, end of an era. I'm surprised that there are still an owners left that don't have this kit!
I’m an early buyer but want the v2 versions 
got mine a few weeks ago and I just want to say how beautiful they are. the craftsmanship is there obvs but even more importantly (imo) is the, "wtf-these-aren't-stock??" feeling I get when I look at these. they blend in like they belong and they stand out to the careful eye. and the "cheap thrill" (but tasteful) of when the tomb flips when the ball passes through is such a nice touch to give a non-electrical mod some movement.
i'm on the list for their stranger things mod and really looking forward to it! i guess i should consider myself lucky that the Medisinyl team(?) keeps doing mods of pins that I own 
and honestly even if I didn't own SThings, the mod is so elite it would factor into a future purchase decision.

Sad to see this one go for sure. It's a milestone that's tied to several life events for me (both good and bad).
And yeah, I lost count a long time ago, but there's a lot of them out there .

Thank you!
And as for "team," it's still just Marissa and I for now, but aiming to get more help soon. Otherwise, I'm the only one that tackles designing the mods.
I had mentioned Marissa in the AMH thread, as I hired her in Feb. 2021, and her help has been what enabled me to design the AMH set, and take on some of these more daunting projects such as STh. I was buried under a 6 month backlog at the time and unable to create anything new to move forward (which is why some mods were discontinued a bit prematurely at the time).
She's a friend of mine that had been an art teacher, and timing worked out where she could really use a job like this, and being able to offer this to her is another reason to thank everyone for the strong support.
She's been the one painting the majority of the mods since Feb. 2021.

1 week later
I'll send messages out for the next batch by tomorrow night.
To make good on my promise of making a few old customs at the end here, I've made the three pictured below.
These are on a first come basis, and available to anyone that claims them first (part of a full set).
GoodHead and EHOH may now be one of two each, and the George Romero may be one of four or so.
I'll update as sets are claimed.
NOTE: If you're already on the list and want to switch your choice to one of these instead, just let me know.
A thread post may be best for me to know for sure who claimed a set first (will also post to the master thread).
House of Horrors: **Claimed** (Mad_Dog_Coin_Op)
GoodHead: **Claimed**
Added 19 months ago:GoodHead: **Claimed** PBMAN
Added 19 months ago:Romero: **Claimed** (matlynch91)
Quoted from PBMAN:Hello. I’ll take a EHOH as well. If all spoken for I’ll take a Good Head. Thanks.
Only one of each was made. After it had been up for a bit, I claimed GoodHead for myself, but I'll let you take it (I thought if I kept it that I'd add red glitter to the lips and "blood" drips, then decide if I'd keep it for myself or add to the charity donation this year [I do like that one and the innuendo with the drips seemed fitting for Elvira]).
It's in my best interest to focus 100% on the overwhelming STh list as soon as possible, so these were to make good on my promise from earlier in the year (before STh, I thought perhaps I'd make more at this point, but three seemed to be a fair compromise over skipping them).
Quoted from PinStalker:Oh man...... Goodhead is awesome....
If it wasn't taken already I'd say "I'll take it!!!".
Maybe I'll be bidding on the charity auction......
Those with * should ship on Tuesday (PMs sent).
Parts for the final run are being prepped this week to ship by the end of the month.

Quoted from markdw:I'm really sorry I missed out on Medisinyl's run of mods. I was late to the party I just acquired a HOH nib from local disto this past week. If anyone has any mods for sale please PM. Much appreciated.
Messages are going out for this last run within the next hour.
As you were already on the list, you did make it into the final run as we had talked about in PM last week.

Yes sorry should have been more specific on this post. I meant anything above and beyond this last run if there was other mods I may have missed. Thanks for hooking me up!
Hi Greg,
just a quick thank you. The Mod arrived at my door in Germany today. The shipment was handled by DHL in Germany which is a good thing! No delay or weird postal issues. The Mod parts were very carefully packed and got here safely!
The mod looks fantastic! I have to say the detail is stunning. Very nice quality feel and such a beautiful paintjob. THANK YOU!

Just updating here to confirm that the final Elvira sets were all paid for and shipped out Tuesday earlier this week.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll update again once I have a finished version of the charity auction set (parts are done, so it should be soon if finish experiments go well).
I got my mods early on and I still love them. Thank you so much for all that you have done for this game. You do not get enough praise for them. I hope you next run of mods are just as popular as these.

Quoted from thewool:Hi Med, please can you add me to the reserve list? Thank you.
I appreciate your interest, but as noted above, all sets were paid for and shipped, so the last set available from me will be the charity auction set (Project Pinball at Expo).
These are permanently discontinued.
Sorry again to anyone that missed out.
I did what I could to bring up the Sept. deadline over the last 7+ months or so, and had to draw the line somewhere to be able to move forward (ideally I would have cut Elvira sooner once faced with the overwhelming Stranger Things list, but I wanted to stick to my word on the Sept. date I set before the STh reveal).
Posting interest here or in the master thread may help locate a second hand set.
Newcastle
Charity Auction set:
Only set to have gold hinges, gold Gonk lettering, gold Gargoyle eyes, black glitter lettering (and pinball machine), and of course the unique Lyman casket itself.
I brought back the skull and dagger under the lids (from the 40th) for this special set.

Thanks Greg, it looks great and we are honored to have it available at the charity auction at Expo!

Will the Expo auction be available to those not at Expo?

Sorry I did read the last few pages of this thread but totally missed that. I checked in a few weeks ago and knew September was the end but then life took over a bit...
Dear all, I'm interested in a second hand set. Please contact me if you ever think about selling. Thank you!
Quoted from jfh:Will the Expo auction be available to those not at Expo?
Unfortunately no. Anyone on-site can bid and will be contacted if they win, they don't have to be at or near the booth at that time. But we do need them to pick up the item(s) as we aren't able to ship them. Thanks.
