I’m a mod guy but think that’s way too many. I just kept the left plastic one on mine. But hey, it’s your game. Do what makes you happy.
Idk, the plastic standups are so cheesy, and these were all used cheap ones off ebay. So I'll play for awhile and maybe thin the herd if needed
I think the 3 bigger Eddies fit well but when you start throwing other off scale figures it doesn’t match. JMO, but it’s your game, do with it as you wish.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:I think the 3 bigger Eddies fit well
Sometimes you got to get a bigger eddie.
Hey ,one guy likes it ,maybe. I'm thinkin a lil cluttered, but hate the plastic stock pieces. Now a game like dialed in, way to many toys and gadgets. Jus my op tho
Normally try not to comment but since you asked that looks terrible. It's a pinball machine not a doll house.
Plus you've added many spots where you could get balls stuck.... if you actually play it.
Well, the prob is when you get gifts from friends and family. Try to appease them all. Mitch I do play my games and do the work myself too. Do you? Lots of haters haha
Of course I fix and play all my own just dont turn them into doll houses.
I also host league nights and tournaments.
Any serious tournament player wouldn't even want to play your iron maiden as the risk of ball hang ups is huge.
If you didnt want comments you shouldnt have opened up a thread asking for opinions.
Also maybe stop trying to appease everyone and make your own decisions. Just cause someone buys you a useless gift doesn't mean you have to jam them into a pinball machine.
Put them ontop of the head or maybe build a shelf?
I think you've passed maximum Eddie occupancy... maybe rotate them in and out, depending on which relatives/friends are visiting?

You could put them on top and make a custom topper but I think that’s too many for the play field IMO.
So in saner times I would have said yeah, way too many Eddies!
Normally I kind of hate action figures and off-the-shelf toys on games, the hotwheels cars that come from the factory drives me nuts...
But since my IMDN LE came with cheezy Eddie figures already I kind of did the best I could and went with it.

But I'm totally done now, I promise!
...and yeah, additional ball hangups are an issue. I'm planning on adding some clear lexan strategically to keep the balls from handing up on Trooper Eddie and might just cut The Beast's one foot a little shorter for the same reason.
I've never had a hang up issue and still play game 5 to 10 times daily. Best game I've ever played. Totally agree, the plastics are cheesy!! I have a acdc pro I'm in process of getting rid of plastics, waiting on a few guitars and locomotive.
You’re making the Star Wars owners look somewhat sensible! But seriously, if you like it that’s all that matters.

Alpha male hobby!

That’s a good one considering the whole game is based on a cheesy comic book.
At some point of course it is too many eddies but that train has left the station. I see a bunch of spots that are bare and begging for an eddy of their own !
big eddies , small eddies , get out the goop!!!!
I guess you need to replace those figures with ones with better quality, and try to be selective and keep some consistency.... Similar size, similar quality... etc etc, just dont throw figures random and think is going to be ok... honor iron maiden and the machine if you like them/it.
