Quoted from mbeardsley:And how many Elvira (or Munsters) shirts have you seen lately...?
No one was saying Elvira was a bad theme.
I don't think t-shirts are a great pinball-theme indicator.
But they are bad themes when it comes to generating new players. Kids these days have no clue about the Munsters or Elvira. I think the point about the T-shirts is about showing relevance. Elvira and Munsters are not relevant nor have they been for years now.
Elvira is a great theme for pinheads because of the great history between Elvira and Pinball. Munsters is completely demographic. Lots of older guys that loved the show are buying pinball machines.
But when it comes to relevant themes that will bring new people in, and bring quarters to operators Stranger Things and Rick and Morty are great themes.
