Went and saw the new G.I. Joe movie last night and I couldn't help but think about all the ideas you could do with this theme in a Pinball Machine! Hawk, Duke, Flash, Storm Shadow, Snake eyes, Cobra Commander, Destro, Rip Cord, Flint, Lady Jaye, etc ...
And the toys inside this machine could be off the hook .... Helicopters, Jets, Tanks, the list go on and on ... Plus all the "stuff" you could blow up ... Wow. Really this could be a great pin idea down the road don't ya think?
I wondered why they either didn't go after the license on the first movie, or didn't get it. Maybe they were waiting for some sequels so they had enough game content and to know if the movies would be a flop. It does have lots of potential. Used to watch the cartoons all the time as a kid.
Quoted from B9:I'd be interested in this if it was not associated with the movies
Absolutely! Base it off the '80 cartoons, not those dreck of new movies! 
Quoted from Pinmeister:I'm sure it would almost as good as Transformers, and better than the Care Bears would be.
That's not saying much.....I thought it (The new G.I. Joe) was a BAD movie.
Just had a flash, JJP should do : the Sound of Music pinball, a musical journey hahahaha
After Wizard of OZ that would be right on. Sorry has nothing to do with the thread but could not help myself 
Lame so lame hehehehe
Something current and popular would be nice. Too late for dexter and breaking bad. Maybe walking dead or sons of anarchy?

Why is it too late for Dexter ?
Would bring a dark theme to pinball. Would love it 
Too late for dexter and bb because they are both ending this summer. A few years ago dexter yes but it's too late now.

The second movie was aweful. There was a story behind why most of the original characters didnt come back but the movie was just terrible.
Quoted from pinball_customs:I'd rather not have a pin with Channing Tatum on the backglass..
The 21 Jump Street reboot was pretty funny, could be worthy of a pin.
I remember re-watching some of my old He-Man recordings on VHS. IMHO the show is pretty dreadful. Not at all what I remembered.
Quoted from s1500:Even without the movies, GI Joe would be a great theme idea. The toys have been around since the 60s, and there's the cheesy 80s cartoon. There's plenty of recognition & content to make something fun.
Agreed
