Quoted from hawkfanz:That’s an awesome topper. Finally one that isn’t just flat or redundantly says the name of the machine. Never understood toppers but these new ones from stern and CGC are making me change my mind!
I have some nitpicks after my initial excitement (why 2 castles, wich btw. consist mostly of the gate; the helmet looks plasticy and the shoulders are flat plastics and not molded) but alltogether it's still way impressive and a lot of work synching all his movements to every line of speech.
I really want a BKSoR and even more so now,... just some more essential things to pay for then pinball right now sadly. XD
Quoted from EricHadley:What I don’t understand is why stern can’t do toppers like this all the time AND release them with the game. I feel like this and Star Wars both would have sold well at release and now have lost steam and they will never release them. Lots of lost dollars.....
Well with Star Wars I think it really was a licensing issue and now with some rekindled interrest, due to the reskin, it may regain financial viability.
With Black Knight... well it is a lot of work to synch the topper to the speech, ESPECIALLY when the code is still changing?
Plus this is a side business with way more custom parts that have to be build in small charges, so it's kinda hard/ expensive to get them manufactured quickly?
In addition it makes sense to set manufacturing run numbers according to sales of the main game.
Many variables in that.

I'm really happy Todd recovered and is back and enthusiastic as ever.
