This kinda thing has been said in different ways before but I enjoy the new responses with them

So, if you had the capability to build a single pin for your own use what would it be and why?

Mine;
I'd like to say EM type games only as I doubt anyone could have skills in carpentry, electronics, design, art and coding heh.

I'd be mostly interested in hearing why the choice then features etc. (Can be embarrassing!)

Personally I've thought of Alice in Wonderland (before hearing of the JPOP game) as where I used to live had a strong presence and enjoy the wackiness.

One of the Harryhausen tales as I adore them both artistically and old-school fantasy cheese

Or just a simple undersea/mermaid deal or more likely woodland critter thing to both please the missus (tho she'd prefer a black hole!) And because I believe that has large appeal, especially for kids and would capture some EM era charm.

I would love the entire project, probably more than playing but the first game would feel so satisfying.

Bonnevil69 - Yea I should keep up on everyone's projects for sure! Must be talented bunch of people. I've attempted to dabble in various coding and guess it's not just for me.

Spootdev - bet your Alien pin will kick Heighways butt

Pinballgeek - Funny we're currently watching Red Dwarf. I'd love to see a homemade pin of the first 2 series.

Jediturtle - Dr. suess? Only really know the cat in the hat. Please elaborate! Sounds interesting.

Plungemaster, I like the sound of that a lot!

Will have to check that out tomorrow (still working!) Thanks

I mainly wanted to hear personal reasons for self made pins, not so much intricate designs but a mix of both has been awesome.
Strange - for example what film,art,life piece (that sounds stupid) would you love to build and make into a working pin? Don't need to necessarily think about the ruleset etc
