I am shocked there has never at least been a shark themed machine! Could do so many bad ass things with a shark eating a pinball!
Or using something like creatures hologram with a shark!
4 big sharks in middle of playfield on Bally's 1989 Atlantis pinball machine, along with good looking ladies riding on dolphins on the backglass/translite.

Since we're on the subject, I thought I'd share this. Many years ago, I came up with my own shark-themed, non-licensed game of my own: White Death. I only got to the whitewood stage and here is my half-assed attempt from 2000. Yes, I know, it looks crude and amateurish. Playfield "art" was made with markers to give an underwater appearance. Insert holes were traced, then freehand routed without a CNC. I used a WMS blank No Fear playfield to trace and cut the outhole/flipper/sling/trough locations. I have since attempted another whitewood this version with shot and insert variations, including attempts to utilize Rosh's awesome insert template design. It's a slow process, and I have yet to immerse myself in programming, metal/plastic fab and wiring.
Nonetheless, you can see where I was going with it. I thought to not reveal it until I made a working version, but it's taking too long, so screw it. In case Stern or somebody else DOES make a Jaws pin with a similar insert and shot layout, I can say that I was toying with the idea beforehand.

That actually looks freakin cool!

Tons of inlays, I like the shark's teeth.
Ya that actually is a great start to work with. You may wanna find some spare time to invest in the idea and push forward. Just my thoughts.

Appreciate the kind words. Even though pinball building is tough, I'm making an effort to learn more of the facets involved to make it less intimidating. The programming and wiring part is my main hurdle.
