Quoted from c508:This month's PLAYBOY is the last issue with nudity... They are rebooting in 2016 as a MAXIMish publication! So gen 4 PB could be very "family friendly"
Well Hef is 90+ maybe thats the reason
The newest issue I have is October 2002. And it was given to me.
Quoted from underlord:FREDDY vs Jason. Based on both complete franchises. 1979 and up. We all know horror sells. FACT!

1980 and up.

There is an interesting article about the transition in the New York Times. Bottom line = nudity is everywhere these days, so let's focus on content (and hopefully attract more readers).
Nudes Are Old News at Playboy
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/13/business/media/nudes-are-old-news-at-playboy.html?_r=0
Quoted from c508:Monster High
Calvin and Hobbes
Mad Max
Buffy
A really good Star Wars
after further reflection... also:
Asterix the Gaul (the new artist is very good... original artwork or reproductions from the series would be awesome... sadly probably not much of a US audience for it).
Battlestar Galactica (original or Sci-Fi not Galactica 1980)
Logan's Run
ZARDOZ (imagine his head vomiting up multiballs and the callouts "The Gun is Good," "The Penis is Evil," "Go Forth and KILL!" "Zardoz has spoken")
Monster High remains at the top of my wish list though.
I'd be happy with a number of the titles mentioned in this thread, however I feel the only one that even has a slight chance of being made would be mad max. Sure is nice to daydream though.
Star Wars (new movies: VII, VIII, IX, Boba Fett, Young Han Solo)
Queen (the greatest rock band of all time)
The Mummy (there's a new movie in the works)
Stern has also been "re-imagining" classic themes like Kiss, Playboy, Star Trek or The Amazing Spider-Man, so in the same vein, here are some they might consider:
- Fathom (imagine swirling ramps and a big lower playfield "cave")
- James Bond
- Medusa (or mythology theme)
- Dr. Who (prime for an update)
Quoted from fumbleflippers:A Super Troopers pin would sound good right about meow!
Nice....
Quoted from c508:ZARDOZ (imagine his head vomiting up multiballs and the callouts "The Gun is Good," "The Penis is Evil," "Go Forth and KILL!" "Zardoz has spoken")
Haha! You're sick!! 
Didn't think anyone even KNEW about that movie!!!
Quoted from Pinball_Nate:Haha! You're sick!! Didn't think anyone even KNEW about that movie!!!
I have a thing for 70s sci-fi... and ZARDOZ is underrated! 
Quoted from tommyp:Alice in wonderland.
Too soon?
Predit... Sorry.
Quoted from c508:I have a thing for 70s sci-fi... and ZARDOZ is underrated!
How about StarCrash with a busty Caroline Munroe!!! Talk about your niche' pinball markets!!!
I'd love to see a Tombstone pin. The call outs could be great. I'm your huckleberry, that's just my game.
Quoted from mbaumle:I'd love to see an original theme and title again. Alas, those day are gone forever, over a long time ago.
People are always surprised to hear that the video game industry is larger and more lucrative than Hollywood. I'm surprised pinball manufactures haven't yet capitalized off of that (unless you count Gottlieb's Super Mario games). Plus, if a lasting franchise was selected, the game would have lasting appeal, and wouldn't look dated as hell in a year or two. That being said, here are my top picks:
A Legend of Zelda game ---> Timeless and creative.
A Minecraft game ---> Could play like junkyard, where you have to collect pieces of things to build other things.
A Metroid game ---> This would be sort of a niche theme, but man oh man would it be good.
Really, and game franchise with a long history of goodness would be nice.
Full Throttle ?
That's an original theme is it not ?
Thought of another one... Princess Bride! Could have both "Princess Buttercup" and "Dread Pirate Roberts" editions! DPR for me!
Quoted from whisper:New South Park or super mario
I'm on your side - the Sega fart-joke-based South Park machine doesn't reflect the smart, razor-sharp satire that the show has become. It's a game that needs at least a ROM update, at most a re-design.
Jaws. Jaws. Jaws.
With release of Star Wars, and already tickets are selling out, shows power in these older genres. Jaws was original blockbuster.
Ghostbusters is a strong title too but lackluster design/ meh code may be an issue
Hellboy
Scooby Doo (original 2 years sourced)
Christmas Vacation
The Thing (1982)
Non-license
A GOOD ghost/haunted game
Steampunk and/or Victorian adventure
And artwork for all of this that is drawn, not photoshopped, with an open, uncluttered playfield.
1) Original Western - Something a little campy along the lines of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
2) Attack From Mars II - Doesn't need to follow that license, but a spiritual successor to Attack From Mars would be cool.
3) Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Maybe with a Whoa Nellie throwback feel.
4) Harry Potter - Probably one of the most obvious missed themes.
5) Zombieland / Plants vs Zombies - A little burnt out on zombies, but I still think Zombieland would be a great fit for pinball. Then again, I also think Plants vs Zombies could be done really well. It's a simple theme and could feature a major return of drop targets. Basically just a game that features drop targets that must be hit with some urgency.
Quoted from lpeters82:Attack from Mars II - Doesn't need to follow that license, but a spiritual successor to Attack from Mars would be cool.
How about taking various pop culture references and doing an abstract version (without needing licenses because they are only concepts)
Futurama space invaders episode

The Simpsons Aliens
Kang_and_Kodos[1].png
War of the worlds (the modern tom cruise version)
2265487-war_of_the_worlds3[1].jpg
Yeah, it's a pretty generic concept, defend earth from waves of attacking aliens. I do like the idea of a pinball version of Space Invaders. I know the theme has already been used, I'm talking more about a series of drop target that need to be hit similar to the advancing aliens in the video game. That alone would make a really cool upper playfield.

2) Attack from Mars II - Doesn't need to follow that license, but a spiritual successor to Attack from Mars would be cool.
That was called, "Revenge from Mars", and it did not work out well...
5) Zombieland / Plants vs Zombies - A little burnt out on zombies, but I still think Zombieland would be a great fit for pinball. Then again, I also think Plants vs Zombies could be done really well. It's a simple theme and could feature a major return of drop targets. Basically just a game that features drop targets that must be hit with some urgency.
The Walking Dead and the Pinball FX2 version of PvsZ was already made as well...
You know it's strange, while editing that I pretty much forgot about Revenge from Mars. What I originally posted was a Smash Up style game where you defend earth from various creatures. I figured not enough people would know Smash Up. I'm actually changing that to a King of Tokyo machine after hearing some of the suggestions in the Spooky thread.
I really want a SM, it's next on my list. Really hoping Stern does the remake, otherwise I'll be looking for a nice older one.
If Stern can redo Spiderman as a Vault Edition themed to the comic books, why not The Walking Dead redone as a Fear The Walking Dead
edition?
I'm kidding! I'm Kidding! Nobody really want that.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:If Stern can redo Spiderman as a Vault Edition themed to the comic books, why not The Walking Dead redone as a Fear The Walking Dead
edition?
I'm kidding! I'm Kidding! Nobody really want that.
Walking Dead Comic book edition would be worthwhile.
It's an old thread, but I thought of some others. First though, interesting idea Star Gazer. You've really thought about it.
Star Trek II Wrath of Khan (first ball lock - "They're still running with shields down", 2nd - "Their coil emissions are normal". Multiball start - "Their shields are going up...they're locking Phasers. Shields! FIRE!"
A Knights Tale (jousting theme)
A Raiders of the Lost Ark pin - just the best, first movie.
I agree with c508 - a Battlestar Galatica pin - the original series, by your command.....
And of course, Rogue One.
I still think SpongeBob could be an awesome machine. Flying Dutchman green hologram, Krabby Patty multiball... the possibilities are endless. The MUNSTERS could be a great theme too.
I'd buy any of these:
1 - Battlestar Galactica (reboot version with human cylons too)
2 - Scooby Doobie Doo (original mysteries, mandatory no Scrappy)
3 - Guardians of the Galaxy
4 - James Bond (medley: like best villains, girls, various Bonds, or focus on one particular Bond's movies)
I think a few of these would sell like hot cakes!
