Excellent - adds that little bit of bling which makes you wonder why some pins had them(GnR,FT,WH2O,TAF) to name a few and then most didn't. Was it a cost thingy when the machine made and then was released. I Have often wondered if all D/M pins had a header designed and then it came down to $$$ and the header was the 1st to go before the price tag was attached to make the pin sellable. Certainly adding a custom header that suits the game is all plus. ^^^

I may try and find a Striker stuffed toy to sit on my WCS, add a ball and some lighting as well.

very nice Brett. I must admit I wasnt a fan of it at first but now I try to customise every pin I have whether its a topper and/or added bling on the playfield. Ive seen some very cool customisations done here in SA. Always good to see a personal touch to a collection. Catch up soon.

Hey all,
I am trying to work out the best thing to use as a Topper for my Batman Forever Pinball Machine.

I am looking to see if anyone knows of a cheap version of this light that I can modify to include the Bat logo......... Needs to have a motor and revolve / rotate so I can cast the Bat logo all over the gamesroom. Make a cool topper I reckon...........

Jaycar and dicksmith sometimes carry a 3 set partylight version , and a single party light that moves around with a small electric motor included.this is similar to what u have mentioned in the post/ batlight website... ^^^  each light is about the size of a coffee mug.

If u go to jaycar or dick smith, get their catalogue and go thru it...i had a similar idea when i first got my batman forever but i just never found the time or the spare room on the roof.. it would look bloody great...but definately go to jaycar/dicksmith and get their catalogue...u could easily place the bat shape over the lense of the light n modify easily that way.  ^^^

their respective catalogues have alot of stuff that is not sitting on their shelves.hope it helps.  !@#

Have a look at TOPPERS thread in general pinball discussion.
Love your Freddy & Star Wars Knight - these things add another facet to the hobby.

I just scored this topper to add to my Sega- Lost World Jurassic Park pinball.

It will straddle the standard factory topper which i have included a link to as well.
