Joe, You already know this, but I am in as well.

Needs bigger straps too.

Don't see any image.

Straighten those legs. The ones on the cover are straight. Curved ones look too fancy.

Actually, none of them have front legs. Just that front post. What you guys are calling legs are actually brass supports. This is what the State of Virginia electric chair looks like, which is what everything is modeled after.

Not all burnt up. But, I think that it can be "bad assed" up some.

Now I'm definitely out.

Nice, dkpinball.

I am a big fan of mods and toppers. But it's not easy to make something that will look cool and right for this game.
From the pictures I saw, Dirty Donnys artwork is rich, powerfull and thick on this pin. In my eyes he has a total unique style.
I didn't want a new pinball game. With AC/DC, SM, WoZ and Hobbit comming I thought I have enough and no more room for one more. But the moment I saw the Metallica pictures I knew I would have to get one. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but STERN and Dirty Donnie nailed the look of this pin for me. So I sold my SM to get one.
But I don't know how someone could make a topper that doesn't look odd to the DD art.

For the MoPLE I would like to see a "Master of Puppets" text scuplture in arctic silver or, or with an uplighting grave cross. Simple but cool so it would go well with the rest.

I think it looks great. It maybe a missmatch for MOPLE but, will look nice on the other cabs and that will be the majority anyway. If I end up getting a MET I'll want one.

People don't even know the first album was to be called metal up your ass

What posers and fanboys of the Black Album and beyond haha... Half these LE owners probably have no idea. Too bad for us real fans

I'm in for one when it's ready, to match all my other laseriffic's

Yeah, people do know that. But there was never a sword on the seat of the chair on Ride the Lightning. What is your point, exactly?

Exactly. What "posers"! lol

I love his disdain for people that like the music of the same band that he holds himself out as better than everyone here, because he knows so much about.

Sorry guys... That did come off pompous but yea I just think it's hilarious that some people have no idea of the bands history and when you've been a fan of something for a long time and people have no idea it gets the best of you. Even though this pinball and not music trivia so I'll shut up because we can like themes and know nothing about them. IE Star Trek or World Cup Soccer for me...

I said nothing about the chair or sword just the statement about the first album

now settle down Samuel... I don't want the mob of topper lovers after me

I like the second two first pic!
Great job

That 2nd pic with the star in the middle is fookin' sweet!!

The first one is minimal, simplistic design....looks good. I like where you are going with the chair....buuuuut it seems to get lost on the topper with it on and the lights out which is how I would play my pins. I know you put some time into it...and it's a neat idea....it just isn't working IMO.

I dig the middle one with the star too. Too bad it's just for you ;(

Yes, the middle one with the star looks great!

I don't feel the chair in any off them. I like the first one but something is missing. The Metallica name is cool and needs to be in lights but you need something under it or in the back. Maybe 3 degrees of perspective. Like a toy in the front, after you have the name which provides the light for the topper and than a glass piece to complete in the back and gets illuminate by the metallica sign. From smaller to bigger, 3 rows. But the first lane needs a small toy if not it's too much. You are the expert, just a few ideas. Really like the ACDC topper and it's a bit like that I would see Metallica.

Sure you'll get a flash of genius soon

Please do a MASTER OF PUPPETS album topper!!!!

+1

I would buy instantly for my LE.

BTW, I sent my AC/DC back to you today for "the fix." Thanks again.
Mike

I like the blue Metallica in the first pic. Could you combine that with the lightning and the chair and somehow get the chair illuminated a little better? Just a thought.

Please don't take this the wrong way as I think Laseriffic has the best toppers around by far, but I feel these Metallica options are very weak. I think the Master of Puppets idea would be a cool one, where you put grave stones on the base with the Metallica logo over them. Keep it simple.

I do not own one but my favorite topper would be the clean blue electric one.

6th picture upwards from this post.

I like the 2nd one in your first post Joe ( the one with the single symbol in the middle under the Metallica ) .

One thing though , I'm not really liking how the "M" and the "E" , as well as the "A" and the "L" are looking like they are joined . Perhaps you could put a line or something between them .

Have you given the guitar one a thought for Metallica Joe ?

I have the guitar-shaped one on my ACDC and it looks awesome . Perhaps an authentic Metallica-shaped guitar ( sorry don't know what brand James uses ) with the Metallica name on it .

Crosses is best one so far. I will call you.

Jim

To bad you couldn't make hands protruding out of the plastic with strings attached. It is probably not doable though.

Will the laser you have score a line instead of a cut on the plastic to make the missing lines for Metallica?

That'll look pretty good when done. If I knew how to make toys or figures I'd sculpt some hands for you that could just have a bolt that connects them to the plastic. Is that image without metallica on it copywrited?

You are getting really close here Joe. Helmet, dog tags and grass - awesome!

Yes, some hands would make it perfect. People could then add their own strings. If possible, I would also like to see "Names" on the grave markers like "hero, pawn, soldier, puppet, son and friend." That would be kick ass!

There is no way grave markers in a "row pattern" can be protected so don't lose sleep over that.

Sign me up for a MOP topper when your done!!

Kind of cool, but the tombstones need spacing between them. Don't think I'd get one for my LE though, it's too redundant.

I get that just wasn't sure if they had the rights to it if you're making a 3d image from it.
