American Pinball just posted on Facebook about what a great guy JPop is and promising everyone their MGs.....Comment?
In other news, Kevin Kulek just partnered with Vonnie D to present "Predator Gremlins of Dangerous".
Color me cynical about this whole venture.

Quoted from frolic:The sad thing is not only will they miss their own self announced deadline, but they haven't had anything more than empty cabinets to show for Magic Girl. To this date, the Pintasia Magic Girl is the only one we've seen that actually flipped (barely).
I have to suspect once AP realized the pig-in-a-poke they had with Houdini, the amount of work and money THAT game needs, it shelved whatever investment was going to go into MG.
What other reasons could there be for them to announce things with such fanfare and then go radio silent for months?
Just curious....Has anyone reached out to AP for comment?
How many more twists and turns can this take?
What's JPop's next Hail Mary...hooking up with Vonnie D?

Quoted from lllvjr:They posted this on fb this morning
Just more vagueness.
They just posted on their Facebook page that they are starting "fresh" and "from the ground up".
Sounds like they kicked Jpop to the curb.
Happy Holidays everyone. As the new year is upon us we too have something to be grateful for. We're happy to say that we've made some great progress on Houdini, our first original pinball machine. The rumors are true, we have started fresh, from the ground up, with our new team and reimagined the game in ways we never thought possible.
While it's too early for pictures to share just yet, we felt it was important to share that our American Pinball team is growing and we're proud to say that we've added some well-respected experienced pinball professionals to our American Pinball family.
Thanks for all your support so far and please keep a look out for more details and another update later this week

Quoted from rosh:We are currently evaluating which shows we will be at and certainly looking at the ones that have been mentioned in this thread. MGC might be a touch too soon, but after we settle back in we will assess it.
Please consider adding CAX and PAGG to that list. I'm pleasently surprised how well this came out.
Bonus kudos for shaking off the JPop stench.
Quoted from rosh:As far as 'lighting bolts', there are none of those in the machine, nor will your find a 'Z', even in the 'spirit board' high score entry screen. The lack of a was not taken well by a particular parts guy with a Z in his name. It was pointed out, that even though you can see it, you can still enter it. So if you see a Z, its as not done by us Again, as a reminder, nothing that was done by John was kept, we started over from scratch, keeping nothing but the name.
