Stern, 2012Here is my X-Men Magneto Pinball Topper $149 plus shipping. I am just working on detail painting and such. What do you guys think? Wolverine is getting the upgraded paint job as well. Magneto's hand will light up and will have recessed lighting as well.

Here's the final paint job on it. Head and helmet are two seperate pieces so it gives the topper some depth to it.

Yeah, I'm usually pretty impressed with your toppers, but the wolverine and magneto just feel a little cheesy.
Artwork was obviously lifted from here:

Isn't that copyright infringement?
I think you need to take a little more time on your toppers. Not just this one, the wolverine one looks like it is lacking as well.
OUCH, brutal in here! 
But unfortunately I have to agree, I was looking forward to more with the Wolverine topper for my machine, hopefully the revised one comes out better. But this Magneto one doesn't do it for me at all if I owned the Magneto X-men. Very basic compared to some of the other ones I have seen from you.
It's not always easy being creative. I DO want to make great topper for GREAT machines. In no way am I trying to push out stuff just for money. I will get the creative juices flowing again..........some more coffee is what I need.

I would really recommend getting some ideas from people in advance, I am sure through the threads people offer up some ideas but starting a thread for ideas and/or photos to help would be a great plan for new toppers.
I still like the basic idea of this one. I should make the back piece more of a cape, work on the face, add lightning to it.
You may have already removed them or something, but I can not see the images above.
Keep up the good work bro, I like what I've seen so far... This is coming from a guy who's artistic skills end at "Stickmen w/ swords".
Pinheadpuckguy - Still my favorite pinball topper maker! I always like your use of color & depth. (& your second version of this topper is looking good)

He never made a waterworld topper 
hahah damn still mad I sold that machine.
Quoted from J85M:Much better I thought your original magneto and wolverine where nothing more than crap
Wow!!!! Straight to the point. I dunno about crap...........but they lacked something.........oh yeah detail.

Didn't mean to come across harsh, but compared to some of your toppers like AFM and LOTR which where great, your original xmen ones fell very short, but the sign of a great product is taking negatives on board and eliminating them all in the next version and that's exactly what you have done with this topper there is nothing negative about it now it's awesome.
One problem now though is we are all going to be waiting eagerly to see wolverine version2 with high expectations now

No that's fine. Wolverine is drying and I am deciding if I like it or not. I need to help my AC/DC brothers out first!!!! Hint hint.
Yeah, thats much better than the first two. Would be even better if you could get the cut outs directly printed with a high resolution image instead of spray painting them but for the most part it looks good. Well done for rising to the challenge.

It's called airbrushing. 
I feel blessed that I get to work at home (stay at home dad) and make cool stuff for some great pins.
Now that's badass! Knew you had the talents to blow your original design out of our minds and I think it's safe to say you have done that. This might be the coolest topper I've ever seen, the lighting is phenomenal and puts the topper over the edge. Bravo!
Magnetos will be ready to go out early next week. Wolverine unveiled tomorrow...............Happy 4th.

Ah i see. I know another technique for this kind of work. Its called being able to mask an area properly before you spray it. 
Its easy to patronise on a public forum. Much less easier making perfect toppers for high end machines....
