Wow! Cartman would be proud.

and award for cabinet that kids aren't aloud to touch goes to...

Coolest cabinet ever...

With a back like that it will need to be in the middle of the room.

Wow. Very nice. And best of luck with the project.

Will this be a physical game or is it a fancy cabinet for a Virtual Pin?

Agree that sculpting the back is kind of retarded, for many reasons, number one being...wait for it....COST. And if I can't shove a pin up against a wall, I'm not going to own it, pretty simple there. Nonstandard side rails and lockdown bars promise to be an absolute joy to try and replace later on too..

Plunger looks interesting, flipper button looks EXCEEDINGLY stupid to have to deal with (Sorry, I hate hate HATE convex buttons. This is a pin, not an EVO competition figthing game stick..) all that trim around it too, much of which looks pretty pokey and sharp?

Love the aesthetic, but the practicality side of things is....um......yeah. And I don't have any faith you can get this out the door for a reasonable price either. =P

It looks like a Victorian wardrobe. I don't know if that's a bad or a good thing!!

love the cabinet. while some cabinets look great, this looks like a piece of furniture. love the detailing.

If you climb in the cabinet you end up in Narnia.

I second this, the cabinet looks fantastic.

Wow! Looks great! Victorian pinball!
I have a knee jerk degree of skepticism because it seems so damned hard to put a pin together, especially with a cab this detailed. I mean, even the BACK of the cabinet has more detail than most of the others entirely.

But I genuinely hope you succeed. Great concept regardless!

That thing looks awesome! Huge Lovecraft fan. Would make a great theme.

That cabinet is SICK!

That said, given my games are all in rows, with their backs snug up against the wall, I wouldn't pay anything extra for cool cabinets since you can't see them. This must be aimed at the "I'm a bachelor, I only own one pin, and I put it in the middle of my living room" crowd.

Another boutique pinball machine!? Interesting times we live in!!

Notice "The Rebel Unit LLC" Everyone quick send your money to an LLC so that if it fails you get nothing! Now I hope they are successful but apparently everyone believes they can build a machine. Yet like TBL if they build it and not use everyone's money to develop it, it might be a cool game. Anyone that thinks they are going to build a machine off of pinheads money is going to learn some valuable lessons. The preorder thing is over. I wonder how many people will be able to get their money back from TH. I heard their are many who will be canceling after the revel. Best of luck to the rebel unit, I do truly hope you develop something great.

I wish that when a boutique company announced their game that it would also include a video saying "hey, look, here's our functioning and flipping prototype" and that video then proceeded to show a working prototype.

I'm just not digging the fact all these new pins coming out will be over $5,000 and this pin looks like it could be over $10,000. I'd rather the innovation be spent on making a great pinball for less then $4000.

Nice looking cab. 4 sure

Also worth noting is that the tentacles that are at the bottom of the backbox will stick straight out when the backbox is folded down, creating a problem with standing the machine on end for transport. Also if the head is too wide, it will also create a problem with getting it through doorways without being removed. Almost better not to even bother making it hinged at that point.

Personally I'd rather see the bulk of my pin purchase under the glass. That's where all the fun happens.

Looks super cool but damn....how much will this cost?

Why is this game named "Wrath of Cthulhu" when another boutique company is making "Wrath of Olympus".

That is certain to cause confusion.

I am all in for a Lovecraft pin. Looks fantastic - but I plead to stay close to the source material as possible. Every time one moves far from the original Mythos, things tend to go wrong (Stuart Gordon for example). Are you planning on adding elements from his major works: At the Mountains of Madness, Colour out of Space, Shadow over Innsomouth...besides just Cthulhu?

This looks like a ridiculous pipe dream. Anyone can make a 3D render. Don't show anything until you have a game. And that means a built cabinet, with a populated playfield, and art. At minimum.

I'm sure it's exciting to render things and dream and want to share those dreams with people, but they're just going to set you back in the long run. Keep it to yourself until you make it long past that stage if you truly want to see success.

Much respect to that. It does look really cool and I hope you guys do what TBL just did.... and knock it out the park. Good luck man

The money should go into gameplay instead of the cabinet.

And if you are making the cabinet something special, dont do the back. Nobody will see that.

I think it sound more like Cthulhu inspired. That's ok with me.

I am very interested in this game, hopefully it's more like TBL where you can buy one after they are ready, not like Jpop where you have to buy them when they are just an idea.

I don't think there has to be any made up limited number either, let the market decide how many will be built.

Keep us posted.

Wow, Aliens and this it just keeps piling up. Very exciting time to be a pinhead.

It looks impressive, but I can't help but think that this would be cost-prohibitive to actually produce.

Keep in mind, the buyers pool for $6k-$9k price point for pins is rapidly shrinking, especially with all the new pins projected for release in 2015.

I'm glad that you guys aren't jumping in and asking for money right away. Can't wait to see how this turn out!

I'm scared the hear the retail pricing.

I hope you are closer to a production machine than a single cabinet render would suggest. I have enough non-available boutique pinballs to stay up to date on right now.

That said, I would buy a great Cthulhu pin in a heartbeat.

Best looking cabinet ever! If the attention to detail in the cabinet is the same given to the pf, artwork and rules then this game will be awesome. Also, such a super cool and extremely dense mythos for modes and such for a pinball game. No doubt battling Cthulhu to save the world in an epic wizard mode! Good luck.

I'll be interested to see how this develops, especially the artwork since anyone reading the stories has their own ideas of what these old gods/creatures look like despite the descriptions. I used to play the role-playing game bitd...great material to draw from. Good luck, if it turns out well I'd love to buy one.

That would be a beautiful pin and interesting theme. Not sure about the cabbage you are throwing into the non-pin parts.

Good luck though, love to see one in person!

Not true. I'm pretty sure I can't.

I stand corrected!

Call me crazy, but pinball to me is about the playfield and how it shoots. That's a fancy piece of sculpture pictured above, but that doesn't mean much of anything about how the game will be.

I love how I point things out that get thumbs down, then people later in the thread say the same thing and get thumbs up. Ya'll some epic hypocrites lmao.

It means the game will be expensive and I won't be able to find one on route!

Wow, that cabinet is amazing! I can't wait to see it in person someday.

It should be "Call of Cthulhu", not Wrath of Cthulhu.
Afraid of the CoC acronym?

Wrath of Cthulhu seems odd. And does not seem original after Wrath of Olympus.

But Cthulhu is an excellent theme, with a lot of ideas to create a great pin.

.........Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagnl...........
.........Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagnl...........
.........Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagnl...........

.......Huh?..... Hey, how did I get into this thread?..........

Game looks cool though.

agreed. also lame to piggyback on another game that has been announced for over a year.

Change your name now before it is too late.

cab looks cool for a virtual mock up. Is this just going to be a virtual pin?

My other hobby is Boardgames... Recently, there has been over-saturation of Lovecraft/Cthulhu and Zombie themed games.

It appears that this trend is now moving over to pinball as well.

What else has been done with a Lovecraft/Cthulhu theme? You may be getting the confused as they are not the same as your typical zombie lore. Lovecrafts writings mostly deal with a sci-fi/horror mythos of "the great old ones" coming to planet earth.

I'm very much in favor of the ornate cabinet, however I can understand those who aren't. May even be possible to have a standard cabinet for those who prefer to keep the cost inside the cabinet so to speak, but hope you don't abandon that mad cabinet as it really stands out.

I'm not sure but could be that Lovecraft is in public domain already?

One question what type of display is it going to have a color LCD?
