Looks like the Wolverine and Hulk bash toys had an aborted fetus.

Inspired by the hugely popular AMC drama, the newest Stern game brings the hit series to life on the pinball playfield.

A brilliant high-definition zombie-filled art package heightens the player’s excitement.
The Limited Edition (LE) version of the game offers unique special effects such as a fish tank with illuminated sculpted zombie heads and a motorized crossbow assembly that allows players to launch the ball anywhere in the game. The LE mirrored back glass with exclusive art adds to the dynamic pinball experience.
“The Walking Dead story has captured the intrigue of audiences for years – from the popular comic books to the hit TV series. We are thrilled to serve such a passionate fan base and to bring this game to pinball fans,” said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball.

Looks like a good start-so both ramps can divert to either side, plus the left one lifts up on the LE for a bash toy? The crossbow on the LE looks a little like the austin powers cannon (but bigger).

I've never seen the show, but a comic artwork package was probably too much to ask. That LE cabinet design is pretty neat though, but it also looks like another price increase! 6000 pro! Looks like a reasonable amount of stuff in the game, but damn...that's getting pricey.

Re: Stern's "THE WALKING DEAD" pinball

Far more impressed than I thought I would be with this game. I was expecting lousy art. I have to admit I totally disagree with Tim, I think the art is pretty decent.

From the man himself...

info from Stern Pinball

I am more excited about this game than I have been about a pinball machine in years. This game captures the world of The Walking Dead with brilliant art and great playfield mechanical toys.

I love to shoot The Walking Dead playfield. The shots are great, and the ramps are smooth. Included among the mechanical devices and toys are a “Cell Block C” with cell doors that are bashed to open, then a Walker bash head inside, “Well Walker” bash toy, a playfield magnet, 3 bank drop target, a shot lane returning the ball to the shooter, custom molded Walker characters, decaled cabinet and speaker panel, and more. We have designed a new and reliable star rollover switch, always a favorite in past games. And of course all the playfield lighting is LED’s.

The Walking Dead Pro is loaded.

The Walking Dead Limited Edition is even more loaded with features, including a Crossbow ball firing mechanism, fire button in the lockdown bar, “Well Walker” guts, a 2nd playfield magnet at the “Well Walker”, a magnetic ramp ball diverter, “Governor’s Fish Tank” with illuminated head, a single bank drop target, spinning targets, traditional playfield supports and lock down bar, rust powder coated armor etc., unique decal art, and mirrored backglass. The LE has multicolor GI lighting, and certain inserts have tri-color control lamp LED’s.

We have designed a The Walking Dead Pro model with production starting next week and a 600 game The Walking Dead Limited Edition model for production in late October. The Pro distributor price will be the same as price established starting on August 15. We will tell you the LE price as we talk with you. As in the past, a deposit is required from our distributors with their LE orders, and there is an added charge to specify a particular LE number, should that number be available.

I have attached The Walking Dead Pro and LE photos, a Game Features matrix, and today’s Press release.

Did I say that I love this game? I do!

Best regards

Gary
