Can't say I'm a Munsters fan, but the machines are quite impressive. Significant difference from the Pro to Premium/LE models. That lower playfield with it's own ramps boldly stands out.

I don't think I've ever actually seen the show, so theme does nothing for me. Doing the premium in B&W seems bold though-I have the feeling that some of the LE buyers are going to be torn on this, and it's going to be a very polarizing choice. Looking forward to trying one at some point.

I have very fond memories of the show as a kid- love the theme, artwork and pf design. The gameplay looked fun from the CES stream.
Personally I prefer the color pf of the LE but all 3 editions look sharp.
Looking forward to playing one soon.

I used to love watching this show as a kid. One of my altime favourites along with Twilight Zone. To say I was excited to hear Stern was releasing this title would be a big understatement. Yeah a grail pin for me for sure. The original series it just hilarious. Fred Gwyn (Herman) and Al Lewis (Grandpa) we’re comic geniuses. Not long ago I was watching some episodes on YouTube and I was just as entertained. If you no clue what “The Munsters” is do yourself a favour and check it out. It wasn’t that long ago that they had a whole bunch of full episodes on YouTube.
Back to the pin. I really like the layout and the fact that it is designed by John Borg is a big plus IMO. It looks like it has great flow and that classic design kind of guarantees that. I like having a bash toy in a pin and the Herman Bash toy in this pin I guess is a no brainer. The artwork is fantastic on all three models although I’m not a fan of the art on the LE cabinet though. I get why they went with mostly black and white on the premium’s playfield. I really like the audio/sounds/call outs especially the main track and the videos look cool from what I have seen. I love grandpa’s lab and the fact there are ramps and a multiball down there. I even like the fact they called it Grandpa’s laboratory .... how fitting. In the series Grandpa’s lab was downstairs. Anyways yeah I can’t wait to give one of these pins a whirl or better yet buy one. Yeah Another winner for Stern for sure.
