Most of the beloved pinball games by Williams are just made of crap.
How many broken boulders do you see on every WH2O? They are made of the thinnest plastic in the world!
How many broken dragon wings do you see on MM? Again just crap.
How many broken spiral ramps do you see on games like Comet? The plastic is maybe 1mm thick. I doubt you could make it any thinner if you tried.

Yes, but think about how much it costs to produce those very detailed boulders especially when the entire game is covered in them.
Those boulders are vacuum formed - there is no cheaper way to mold plastic. You can do it at home (as many do to replicate their broken ones, but using thicker plastic).
They are as thin and as crappy as Williams could possibly get away with. Even on unbroken spots, you can see that the plastic is truly paper thin.
