Recommend picking up some good reading material to help pass the time until a BTTF drops

Sounds very similar to TMNT. “Choose your 007”

Why ‘settle’ for a Jaws pin when you can have a Jaws19 reference in a BTTF pin?

Holding out hope for this

Need to build up to 88MPH before a multi-ball or something cool (change rule set based on year you travel to)

I got a TMNT pro at the same time I purchased a TSPP, which were my first pins. TSPP was first in my radar so basically played that for a few months straight with only a few turtles games sprinkled in, mainly because TMNT was so brutal at first. Then I got a LZ as my 3rd pin and exclusively played that for a while until it was out of commission so then gave TMNT some love. Slowly learned the shots and started to get in the groove but then got an LOTR and it’s been that and LZ that get played the most now. I think I’m hanging onto TMNT for the nostalgia but it definitely gets the least attention right now.

I’ve seen it mentioned in the past and would totally support and purchase a Batman Animated Series. Maybe even dive into that universe a bit with Superman Animated Series and Batman Beyond. Possibly a bit of the Justice League stuff too.

Then thinking about all the other at home cartoons while 40 year olds were growing up I’m thinking Animaniacs (which was just rebooted on Hulu) and Tiny Toons (but that’s when WB was large in the 90s but maybe not as popular now). I’m sure there are others I’m missing that’s in that 90s window after the 80s mix of He-Man, Thundercats, and GI Joe.

Edit: X-Men animated series would be another now they are rebooting but may be redundant with the existing pins. The animated Spider-Man show was awesome too but same there.

I’ve seen these mentioned before but would definitely purchase:

Batman Animated Series
X-Men Animated Series
Batman Beyond
Spider-Man Animated Series (with Venom would be great)
Superman Animated Series
Friends?

You know it! Just watched an episode with my boy tonight. Never realized the Grey Ghost / Simon Trent character was voiced by Adam West, which then led us to watching the Batman Adam West show, which will now lead me to check out how much those pins are going for out of curiosity.

Would love a Batman the Animated Series although don’t see it happening with the recent passing of Kevin Conroy. Getting Mark Hammil for some Joker audio would be sweet though.

Delayed He-Man 40th anniversary editions

I’m a strong advocate of getting more 90s/2000s representation but when trying to think of mega hits during that time it seems they’ve already been done (Austin Powers, LOTR, JP, Dark Knight, Terminator). The only one I think would be cool that hasn’t been mentioned much is maybe the Bourne series but not sure how that would translate to a pin, especially since he didn’t speak much in the last movie. Has Mission Impossible been done?

I don’t know, unless it’s a cartoon I don’t think anything 80s wouldn’t interest me but then again I’m probably 10 years short of the main demographic.

Getting with the X-Men ‘97 hype train I’d love to see a BTAS but don’t think there’s anything recently released that would help market it.

What about the Gladiator? Especially with the follow-up movie on deck? Or Count of Monte Cristo, The Kingsman, or even Tombstone?

The Simpsons has enough content to make as many individual machines equal to how many Marvel pins have have been made and I’d probably buy every one. Especially if it’s based on S1-10 content.

I considered myself a pretty hard core fan through the mid 2000s but haven’t seen a full episode after season 13 or so. Coincidentally my son has surpassed me in watching so there’s definitely cross generational appeal with my sample family of one.

Now that Jaws has arrived it’s time to have a pin for the real predator of the ocean.

Free Willy would be a hit no doubt?
