Quoted from dgoett:
really ready for an update! It's been too long. They were supposed to be shipping first units by now.
skull looks amazing!

I could be wrong but I don't think they were ever really firm with a release date. They only posted optimistic time frames. More recently they were I think they said the first would go out late in the year (that is my memory anyway, someone will correct me if I am wrong).

We all want a larger update of course, but I think we can all assume the boys in their garage have been learning a lot recently that will improve the final product for all of us. Remember Jack's frustration in dealing with suppliers for WOZ, I'm sure the same is happening here and they will get through it.

Skull is awesome. I wish the playfield art was consistent with the pieces. The game feels like it has a split personality.

i wish i couldn't agree more.

Yes, PF looks silly, compared to the realistic skull, I would hope they reconsider the PF and maybe do away with the whole cast and focus on I don't know what? Maybe the Predator with H Geiger inspired realistic art.

lol hAbO... my reaction as well.

The spinal cord also has membrane pieces between the discs that are not pictured. I got to hold the white prototype earlier this year... It is a very high quality piece, it reminds me of the type of material they make the skeletons out of that you saw in science class.

Cant wait. Thanks for the pic Matt.

It sounds like it wasnt just a straight medical model ported over. I love the attention to detail everyone is putting in on this pin. I sounds like it could be something really special when its completed.

Sorry to be so scarce, everybody. We're hard at work over here with lots of big things coming together and we're already looking towards Expo.
It's no secret that working with contractors to get parts made takes time and has holdups, but things are moving along quite well. We've gotten some stuff in recently that hasn't been shown/talked about yet that are extremely cool, like custom backbox lighting by CoinTaker lighting! The final game is coming together nicely, and no worries about a complete game this year
Website is assembled and is passing simple tests, so that should be up shortly. All donation appreciation packages have been sent out this week, as well, so if you've been waiting on your T-Shirt (thank you so much for your patience), keep an eye on your mailbox.
Lastly, update emails were sent out to EVERYONE, so if you didn't get it, email me so I can get it out to you again, but please check your junk/spam folders and settings first. Ted, this means you, too, buddy

I think this would go with the playfield art a little better color wise but I dig the original also.

I actually like the playfield art. I checked out the Predator comic book art and I think the playfield art is actually of better quality.

Perhaps it could be better, but it could certainly be worse, like some photo montage.

I just think many folks were set up to be disappointed because of the artist's portfolio which is, as a rule, somewhat darker in tone and... more angular?

I remain comfortably positive with the art, as long as / especially if, something is done with the Disney huts, the featureless hand and the, with the release of the VUK feature now completely out of place, grey skull.

I've never really been a big fan of the open-mouth Predator and always liked how the movies kept that part minimal for the most part and relevant to what was going on in the movie... With that said, how cool would it be if after you drain or before a mode - all lights go dark, uv kicks on and BAM! there's one pissed off Predator staring you down right in the middle of the playfield...

I got a Jungle Patrol Dutch and a Predator, then added a few sales items and used the 20% off code Selfaware. I love sales on top of sales.
