Quoted from Nevus:

I don’t think this is marketed at me. I don’t get what Heavy Metal they mean?
The Film (I like)
The Music Genre
A video game
This would be pretty cool

Anyway... I hope it’s fun! Maybe I’ll get to play it at TPF.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:

You have at least one. I own most of the magazines, from issue #1 up until the 90s, then more sporadically until today. Working on finishing the collection over time. I was keeping an eye out for the Brazilian HM game from the 80s, but I'll take one of these. Not at 8k, but I can wait until one comes up in the preowned market. No hurry, no worry.
That being said, the first thing I wanted to do was to buy it, tear out the controller and turn it into my own version of HM.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:

I would have to do some digging to find the dates. Some of the memorable ones for me:
Den of Earth
Anything Azpiri ever even glanced at(Sept. 1993 is a good example)
Druuna(Spring 1988 and Sept 1997 are good ones, IIRC)
The Waters of Deadmoon(various months between 1990 and 1992, IIRC)
Tristan Karma(one of them was in November 1991)
Ranx(Sept. 83)
My favorite in recent years was the Vampire Requiem series. That art was amazing, and 100% not safe for work. It's extremely gory, sexual and would probably cause some people a lot of discomfort. If you like things like Hellraiser, it's great. They were in the mid 2000s.
Right now, there is a big end of the decade sale concluding at https://www.heavymetal.com/
September 1993 had some good stories. The Upturned Stone and The Mirror.

Quoted from Pinballer67:

CPR do custom work. One offs. To be clear, you hire an artist to create unique artwork (no copyright infringement) for PF, plastics, BG, cabinet decals, etc. So it isn't cheap and they won't replicate the same art, twice.
Anyway, if any of you are a lifelong Heavy Metal fan and are seriously interested and disappointed by the Stern offering, here is a link to a gallery of a conversion of a Firepower game to Heavy Metal. Get ready to drool....this one looks sweet (warning: MATURE content here!):

According to their pricing, I'm guessing ballpark you would probably be in the $8,500 range for the art *materials* to *do the rebuild yourself*:
1. Customer Re-Theme Option 2: $3,000
2. Custom cabinet decals: $350
3. Custom topper: $90
4. Plus custom artwork: $5,000(?) -- depends on the quote, which depends on the artwork you want done
Please note: I am not connected to CPR in any way. I did do an evaluation of what it would cost a few weeks ago at the prompting of a friend...because I have a Firepower; he is a rabid Heavy Metal fan; and this looks incredibly good (would look killer next to my rebuilt Centaur). But I'm skipping, it's too much $ for my tastes since I'm not a true HM fan.
