Aussie Pin that never got built - Croc Hunter
swinks:
I have only been into collecting pinballs since 2010 and along the way have seen just a few images and read little tid bits here and there about the Steve Erwin's - Crocodile Hunter Outback Adventure Pinball and understand it was pulled in 2006 due to his death but given that Steve is no longer with us for a while now (I do say this with all respect to his family and wish that he never lost his life) that this could be brought back to life as it would be a great tribute to him, his family and what they stood for - animal conservation and has the potential to be a fun pin.
Does any one have any other info other than what's on IPDB?
Does anyone have a image of the playfield layout or art?

"The game images presented in the flyer and the other art shown here are computer-generated, as this game never went into production. It was to be manufactured under license from Bally. Wayne Gillard, Managing Director of The Pinball Factory, tells us that with the untimely death of Steve Irwin, the licensing collapsed. We asked him to confirm our understanding that 25 translites were made and he replied that parts were ordered for 25 prototype games. Only two whitewoods were made, a sample cabinet and a production cabinet, the latter having the same artwork as shown in the flyer."
Also I did start the thread in the Pinball Nostalgia because it is a bit of Aussie History that never happened - a shame
But if anyone has seen a cabinet for themselves or a playfield and can share a pic or more would be awesome.
