Quoted from Dayhuff:Wow, over $1200 already? You can pretty much bet these will be getting repo'd soon. I'll wait.
John
The art he did for Magic Girl is phenomenal, its a shame he cant sell translites and playfields to raise the money he is deserved, I know I would buy both from him direct to hang on my gameroom wall.
Quoted from zombieyeti:I can confirm - if you read the description- this was one of 2 for the first prototype print tests back in 2013 while seeking vendors.
John gave them both to me on a working trip and I've had them hanging out in the studio ever since. They both were printed with indecia stating it is a prototype and is dated 2013.
This was the initial look of MG with multiple cyan/blue hair and fleshy colored skin. The logo was also dropped on at this stage & it later had a few Jinx characters added in - not sure if they are in the current final version out there.
I'm keeping one & parting with one. And no, I'm not going to have any printed nor did I have this printed - it was all John. If these get reproduced by someone they would be knock offs.
thanks to all for the kind words & support! I owe you
Have you heard or spoken to John since "games" where delivered? Reason I ask is I would love to see John give you the rights back to your art to sell, as I am sure I would be one of many here that would happily buy art from the games you did for John to see you whole and get the professional and financial credit you deserve for your work.
I have never cared for translites or playfields hanging from my gameroom walls but I would cover my walls with your stuff it's just brilliant!
PS. Will you ship the proto translite to the UK? If so I'll be bidding 
Quoted from Dayhuff:I wouldn't hold my breath of I were you. If someone thinks they can make a few bucks off it they will. I have many original prototype glasses and translites that have since been reproduced by others. It's just a matter of time and people don't care which version they have as they will always lay out the cash for the cheaper one which brings the value of my originals down to pennies from the price I had to pay to get an original because that's all there was at the time.
John
That's why I just posted my post above I would prefer to see Zombie receive the financial fruits of his labours!
Quoted from jwilson:Since JPOP never actually paid for the work, doesn't ZY retain the copyright on the artwork?
No idea I would just love to see Jeremy sell art from all the pins he created for John, John can go crawl under a rock for all I care but Jeremy should certainly be able to get his "pay check" for the awesome work he did on MG, RAZA & AIW, I would buy translites and playfields direct of Jeremy and it would be great knowing he's getting the credit and financial rewards he deserves from his work!
Quoted from Damonator:+1 on buying a backglass - I would encourage you to color your Alice in Wonderland sketch and sell that as a backglass too!
+1
Quoted from Pinballfantexas:Considering he is still owed money on these projects, personally I wouldn't want to spend anymore time on them.
I know personally that was the reason I was asking and I'm sure others reiterated it for the same reasons.
Jeremy (ZY) made some of the most beautiful artwork ever seen in pinball and if he can sell translites and potentially playfields to get that money he should already have and then some, then I would be all for supporting him direct, I am already doing that by bidding on his translite but I would love more of his work from MG, RAZA & AIW, just because John was a complete fruit cake is no reason the art should be hidden away or Jeremy shouldn't get paid from it, plus I'd rather have this translite than a Mona Lisa on my wall
Quoted from hocuslocus:holy crap the bid is up to 2050. wtf is wrong with people
Quoted from Pinballfantexas:Let's hope it goes to a good home.
Yeah hopefully mine 
Quoted from iceman44:Utter ridiculous nonsense.
This will be a forgotten chapter in history next year
It won't be able to sell for $100 then
The more money than sense crowd is chasing it right now.
When the chase is over it will be a hard fall down to reality on all thing related to Jpop and that disaster.
Well I certainly don't have endless amounts of money I work two physically demanding jobs, definitely a lack of sense though, can't argue with that part haha.
Way I look at it is simple I consider it a damn good piece of art, I would rather have this on my wall than the Mona Lisa
