Stern Rumour - Muppets 2014
« on: July 16, 2013, 09:00:39 AM »
I am just adding fuel to the fire but why not curious to hear what people think -  rumour is that Stern are getting away from super hero's and heading towards a TV show theme.

They even posted a link to a video on their facebook
[ Invalid YouTube link ]

I know Stern like to tease on facebook but I think the Muppets could be a fun family friend colourful pin and they have been around for years plus they are releasing a film next year Muppets Most Wanted - While on a grand world tour, the Muppets find themselves wrapped into an European jewel-heist caper headed by a Kermit lookalike and his dastardly sidekick.

What do you think?

As much as I like superheros I think taking a break from these themes is a very good idea.

I also think a muppets pin is a very stupid idea.

If they did a TV theme I would really like a

Dukes of Hazzard - one of those classics that was never done

Walking Dead for me if it is a TV theme.
That would be killer.

There's plenty of great ideas still available for pinball machines,  unfortunately Muppets isn't one of them.
Personally I'd love to see them do a Pulp Fiction pinball, the music alone would sell it to me.

I'll be a bit different and say it's an awesome theme. Bright, colourful characters. So many mode possibilities with the material to draw on. Kermit the Frog!!!! Classic theme. If they do make one, it will have no problems walking out the door. Appeals to both old and young.

Cheers!
Adam.

I grew up watching the Muppets. The Vincent Price episode scared me so much it gave me nightmares  @@^

Not a good theme for a Pinball machine.

Muppets has a huge range of toys/themes that could be done for the one game. Plus hit a younger audience.

How about a DJ theme, making your own music, samples etc...
spinning disc flahers, level meters.

I read the title "Stern Rumour - Muppets 2014" and thought this was some sort of amusement industry award, although with the JJP situation I would have thought they should be awarded Muppets 2013 (for the third year running)......

They lyrics say it all. The words target adults, gays, transvestites, old men.......where are the kids?

[Kermit]
Ladies and Gentlemen, Its The Muppet Show!

[Muppets]
Its time to play the music
Its time to light the lights
Its time to meet the muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

Its time put on makeup
Its time to dress up right
Its time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight

[Old Men]
Why do we always come here?
I guess we'll never know
Its like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

[Muppets]
But now its getting started
Why don't you get things started?
Its time to get things started
On the most sensantional
Inspirational
Celebrational
Muppet-ational
This is what we call The Muppet Show!

The original Muppets series was a great show.
I don't think it'd be a title I'd go for but I could see it doing ok.
Fairly wide appeal I think. Bring it on.  :)

Yeah I reckon its not a bad theme.  Been around for years so much better than some tv themes that lose popularity quite quickly.

As long as the Swedish Chef and Beaker are featured it'd be ok.   %.%
