The OP was a little aggressive with his opinion, but I agree that another Elvira pin is overkill. To think she gets 3 pins and Spinal Tap can't get one?

Also Scared Stiff is hard to top when doing a third Elvira. It's not the best pin of all time IMO (sorry Ted), and probably not in the top 10, but it is one of the best thematically integrated pins ever, with awesome art and dots and music and some of the best - if not the best - call outs of all time. But the shots aren't all that and the rules are just too shallow to warrant the high price it commands.

More power to you dudes that dig Cassandra. She never did anything for me.

Quoted from spfxted:

actually it's #4 ....should be #1...but give it time....

On IPDB, but that is slanted towards Bally/Williams to a fault. On the Pinside Top 100 it's 17, which might be closer to the truth than #4, but Pinside skews heavy newb, so it's kinda stupid too.

So there ya have it!

One thing we can all agree on, Magic Girl is DEAD LAST in all polls. Kaneda can rave about it being the "most beautiful machine ever" (very debatable), but the damn thing doesn't flip...so it's LAST! Lol.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I find this whole thing interesting because it's a niche sequel game that appeals to a small group of pinheads - it's basically High Speed 3 or another Black Knight. There's no way this thing would be getting made if it weren't for the other two games, because let's face it, in 2017 I can't imagine there's much value in the Elvira brand itself.
The suggestions that this is going to be a small run game at a high price makes sense, as it's not a theme that's going to appeal to the masses. But as is shown here there's a small but loud group of Elvira fanatics, so it goes to follow there's a small but loud group of pinball fans who will open their wallets up for this one.

But will it have a variable random response flipper delay? Because that's what everyone will want to know...

Quoted from o-din:

Sounds about right. When the show was on, there were plenty of nice boobies my own age which is probably why I didn't feel the need.

Freaking nailed it. In Huntington Beach CA in the late 70's/early 80's, I was not getting excited over pale gothic Milfs on TV.

"We're both 36. This was prime-time for Elvira. Sure, you'd find magazines no problem at that age. I guess I didn't discriminate as much. I'm talking like age 8-12 here." - quote by someone (reply fail)

Primetime Elvira was 2001?
