Quoted from PinCrush:

I love the theatrics of Kiss with the costumes, fire, lights, explosions, chicks. The whole Kiss presentation is killer. The music (especially the "hits") just doesn't do it for me. Despite being a life-long hard rock/metal freak, I would never be interested in this pin based on music alone (like I would for Maiden, Beatles, Zep), but if they nail it in the art and gimmick department, I could see purchasing one day.
Like most others, I'll have to wait and see the whole package - then wait and see if the code gets finished. JPOP's version would have sold me, but I fear Stern's take on the artwork will be more ACDC style - we'll see.

Quoted from ashburton:

I have not heard a KISS song on the radio or in a movie since the 90's. I have heard ACDC, though, especially in action movies so I don't think the two bands can even be compared. I think TWD would have much more appeal to comic book nerds as well as the huge population of tv fans. Kids have no idea who Gene Simmons is except for maybe a small population who know him as the fat guy from that one reality show.
Every kid knows what the Walking Dead is, and I think that if the average person walked by either one of these machines they would choose TWD 9 out of 10 times and maybe bring fresh blood into the pinball scene when it was all said and done.

Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:

Now lets just hope they hire a real illustrator and not a middle school art student with a copy of Photoshop Elements..
