Jack said, WoZ will be the WORST game JJP ever produces (anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes on it will agree it's one of the best games ever made), it sounds like he intends to deliver on that promise. I am really looking forward to my Hobbit.
Opinion not fact, how can an opinion on best ever be fact? In my mind, it is one of the best. Wish I could keep every game I ever liked but decisions need to be made based on space, economics, variety, interests, priorities, and oh yeah, nonya.
CraZ4Pin is unable to make his point to the history there but I do hope the detail is on par with the T-Rex backally TOPPER but you have to be realistic, it's going on the playfield. I would be looking at the Warg and barrels as an example. If it's on par with this detail, I would be pleased. The BackAlly pic is misleading with a pf toy next to a topper. Seems like an apple to orange comparison.
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:I thought that new T-Rex head was intended to be a replacement for the pf Toy? You think it was meant to be a topper? Either way, it never came to fruition ... and more importantly I'm also pretty sure it wasn't Matt who made it (I'm not sure why it's still on the Back Alley website.) Matt seems to have confirmed he is making the Smaug sculpture himself.
I agree 100% that the barrels look very cool (although I still wish they would do something like light up or spin when the bumpers were hit.) I just don't see any great examples of actual characters that Matt has sculpted from scratch where you want to see the detail in their facial expressions and the terror in their eyes. The witch was definitely a letdown and I'm still not sure on Warg.
The represented T-Rex is obviously NOT a functional pf toy as it is pictured. I assume it's a decoration/topper.
