Quoted from gouveia:Hey guys,
Thanks so much for all the great feedback. I've never sold one of my mods, but I really liked the way this came out and would be happy to make more. I just wanted to see if others were interested. Steve

That's definitely a different witch, as well....curious how it looked w original? ( silly old elf is making a pretty sick looking witch...)
Quoted from gouveia:I like the witch that silly old elf made. I think it's very cool and definitely an improvement. I just wanted to see more of the witch's body instead of just her head. I also wanted her scale to match the size of the trees more. From the players perspective, it looks like she's appearing from out of the forest. At least to me, anyway. Haha.
And agreed, w your great concept!!!....did you ever consider the hallmark version w the hourglass?....think the scale matches yours....

Quoted from gouveia:So...I hit a minor snag. The new witch mold wasn't making me happy, so I made another one. Unfortunately, now is not the time in San Diego to work with silicone rubber, because it takes FOREVER to cure with the current weather. FOREVER.
Good news is I now have the time to work on these things diligently to make sure I send out a mod that you'll like and that I'm proud of selling to you.
So now we play the waiting game...
Steve
Agreed...no worries...when you're happy w final product, I'm sure we will be!!!

Quoted from gouveia:Getting there. It's very time consuming, but I'm really happy with the way they're turning out.
Steve
Very, very excited!!!
Quoted from gouveia:You didn't miss it. I forgot to explain that in the video. I use clear double stick tape (the real, heavy duty stuff used to attach GoPro's and things like that). It doesn't budge, and doesn't damage the machine. I'll attach some to the base when I send it out.
Cheers!
Steve
Excellent.....looking forward to this " finishing touch" to a beautiful machine...looks like it was meant to be there all along!!!
Quoted from gouveia:I took a lot of time to make the mod look like it belongs.
Steve
It shows!!!.The witch coming up through the red smoke was integral in her entrance, and her new size appears to be scaled perfectly with the trees...very, very nice, and a hand made piece only furthers its elegance in the game...great stuff!!!!
Ps- 0 concerns of ball trap. I've got the well mod, and the ball never even comes close. It's position on the play field doesn't make it prone to air balls ( except in extreme multi ball scenarios). The smoke will get hit occasionally, however, but being made of resin, I anticipate 0 issues there as well . The "well" mod is foam and it's survived, although over time I could see a chunk coming off eventually. You've covered the bases!!!...mark

Received, installed today...AWESOME MOD!!! This looks like it belonged from the start....witch looks genuinely creepy, and the smoke effect is outstanding!!! Great, great job....couldn't be happier...GET THIS MOD!!!....mark
Quoted from titanpenguin:Agreed. Very easy install as well. I was a little hesitant on just pulling up on the witch at first, as it felt like it was stuck. Once it starts moving though, it pulls out easy.
I was more worried that it wouldn't line up correctly when I put it back in and hit the switch....whew...worked like a charm!!!
Quoted from DCFAN:For those that received the mod, please post pictures. Thanks
Will do, but it's my iPad, so won't be amazing....I can honestly say that the Witch toy is now a centerpiece, as it should be....unbelievable difference!!!
Quoted from MK6PIN:Will do, but it's my iPad, so won't be amazing....I can honestly say that the Witch toy is now a centerpiece, as it should be....unbelievable difference!!!
Tried taking video of mine tonight, but quality was terrible. Look at Ops example, and know it's even better in person....if you own a WOZ, BUY THIS MOD!!!

Quoted from ramsfan:Awesome Mod, even better guy to deal with. Just simply fantastic. This great mod really draws the right amount of attention to the witch coming and going, harassing you, etc... which is the major them of the movie. In my opinion, a must have for this machine.
Really enjoying this process, because Steve is great to work with.
Ditto...big time!!!...Steve has been awesome to deal with, and has the " mod of the year" imho.....the entire " feel" of the game has changed, and really creates a dramatic effect where it's needed most.....the small wall underneath really ties it all together ...thank you Steve!!!...mark

It's official...the mod actually looks better with the wall add!!! Puts the witch up higher, and she sinks way out of sight in the down position. An incredible, quality built mod....literally changes the ENTIRE look in the center of PF....amazing!!! Forget LOTR, she looks like Queen of the trees!!! 
Quoted from beelzeboob:I should probably just kill myself.
LMFAO!!!....Boob, don't do it, don't do it ( although the mod is ridiculously awesome).....

Quoted from gouveia:Fantastic!! Thank you for posting that.
I also agree with you about gameplay. I think the witch rules are easier to understand when she's a more noticeable target. Plus, I just like lighting it up 'cause it looks cool.
Just an early adopter here rethanking you, and reconfirming to potential buyers this is a must have mod!!!
This really puts the Witch effect as it should be....the centerpiece of the game!!!
Handcrafted genius!!! As it should be, for a machine of this caliber....

Quoted from gouveia:The mod comes with black light. I'm including a short cable with three UV LEDs that plugs into the topper GI in the back of the game and sits hidden away above the monkey (you can see them hanging from my cabinet in the OPEN picture). That to me is just enough light to make him glow without lighting up the back of the game too much. (Yes. I like my WOZ dark. It think it looks like Oz at night.) Just one more thing I forced myself to learn to make the monkey really stand out.
Very, very excited for this!!!

Quoted from gouveia:Yes. I know I said the first 35 will be quick, but I am rolling these first few or so out slowly. There's a lot of tiny little details that are important, especially if you're not used to working on your machine. audihere was a great first installation because he lives close to me and we could troubleshoot a few things over the phone. I'm gonna do my best to cover ALL the bases before too many of these go out.
Thanks Chris! Glad you like it. Video instructions coming soon for everyone else!
Hey!!! East coast guy here, and one of your first witch guys (kidding of course....can't wait to get this thing!!)

Quoted from 27dnast:#31 on the list paid for! Thanks Steve!
Wait!! Thought I was 31 on the list ( looks like you are #24 unless I'm looking at the wrong list)...Have to go back and recount...
Quoted from DCFAN:I believe you are 39 if I counted correctly.
Counted again...Are you 20? Still come up w 31 for me...Fuzzy math, or wrong list..
Quoted from DCFAN:People ordered multiples.
By the way, mine is paid for and waiting for it to arrive.
Ahh...Mystery solved..Thx!!
Congrats on yours!!!
Quoted from 27dnast:We could solve this confusion pretty quick. I’ll swap spots with you for $800!!!
Easy. Right?!?
Cold, you are...No worries...I am a patient guy...

Don't sweat it Steve...I've got a list of things I need to do to on several machines...I know I'm close, and will be an awesome add to my game...huge danger in having 18 pins and OCD towards them...they are never "done"!!!!

Quoted from Rager170:Just out of curiosity, how would one make a witch mod for WOZ that doesnt follow the basic design that was created by JJP? Since the witch goes up and down and stays in that same spot, I dont think theres a lot of options.
I think there was some lit skull thing that was offered some time back, replacing the stone wall look. Definitely looked amazing, but not sure how many got made.
Bottom line - there are mod makers and then there are $$ makers in this niche of the business.
The first do it for the passion of enhancing their own game (true craftsmen or engineers )then demand arises and figure a way to get them out. Usually focus on only a few toys/concepts. They probably make "some" margin, but nothing staggering. I'd put Steve, Mike ( @timebandit), Randy, etc. In this category.
THEN there are the second group...Selling everything from overpriced strip lights, to flooding the market w every 3d printed thing they can think of to make serious margin. Won't name examples, but we all know them.
Steve....Just keep doing what you do...Your mods stand alone, and always a waiting list...tune out the noise, as it's always going to happen. Appreciate you making them available ( in limited quantity) to the rest of us....mark

In for crystal ball (have the other 2)....good grief....hopefully I made the 100 list.....stuck in a meeting
