Quoted from GRB1959:

If the original custom metal die is indeed lost to time then another artist would likely need to create a new custom metal die.

Several years ago, the artist who originally made it said the dies no longer exist.

From the comments in that article, it sounds like he might be willing to do it again, but it didn't sound like it would be cheap to have done.

Travis of the now defunct TwistedPins attempted to remake the topper, but it wasn't quite like the original. Here's a photo of the embossing die that was made early in the process:

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

How time flies. That was 4 years ago. Wonder if the artist could even be found?

Sounds like the guy who runs phoenix arcade was in contact with him. I imagine he might be able to get in touch with him again if his contact info didn't change.

Quoted from woody76:

I own a printing and marketing company. I have all the presses and means to do something like this. If the original dies are gone forever I would need the original art from Phillip Grear or Rick at PPS. Most of the metal dies we make these days are made of copper. They are more durable and last longer. I am not sure what something like this would cost, but I just made a copper die for a foil stamped business card the other day and it was around $200. Twisted Pins had their work done in Germany saying that no one in the US could do something like this. I find that really hard to believe. They key to this is having the original artwork and original die specs.

Well, try contacting Rick and see if it's something that might be feasable.
