For me on this game it is theme, I love my IM and recently discovered that I am a growing lover of either monster (MB, SS) or superhero themes (IM, XM) and I like some of the features of this game and I like a open plan fan style and there are some features that I am still very curious and am intrigued about, the right entry ramp that goes to the left that seems to have a diverter to either the left flipper or drop into a ball pop out thingy, also like the flap thing in front of the Hulk - does it flip up so you have to hit the hulk or does loki pop up ??? I like the looks of the ball lock and the drops and intrigued about the orbit ramp I think it is (left to right).
The art on the playfield I don't mind apart from the box outline around the pops - Capt America I think. The art of the cabinet - hulk le is cool in a way but would of like the avengers team in the back ground to still link it in butI just think of lots of snot to be honest when I see it as well. The pro is lacking a bit of colour so reckon a custom set of rails will change / help that. The blue le looks cool though hope it is a metallic not a flat blue like on X-men otherwise looks a little plastic. My IM has the US set of candy apple red and it adds that high end feel and I like that. The Avengers Premium (CC be interested to know) is the pro cabinet art with rumoured red trim like on the AC/DC so don't like that personally - Premium with a metallic green or blue would be cool and help the cabinet art a little to bring out some colours,
For me I do like some Sterns but if JJP did a monsters or superhero I would be there as well. I like the idea of this one as well because no interest in purchasing JJP's WOZ and Hobbit and Stern's Metallic / Kiss and Star Trek ,so nothing for me for a while so this will be a possible first and last NIB for me for a long time.
Lastly a Monster's and Comic SuperHero's game is a game theme that I think will not out date like some other games. Interestingly when IM first came out I was not into pinball but I read it was not well received due to being a budget style game but now a sort after machine which I think this will fall into a similar category as targets are hidden but some photos show them tucked around and has a few ramps and a interactive toy and ball lock so I think this has potential to be a great game. But that is my personal opinion and don't expect anyone to agree.
My thoughts anyway guys but looking forward to a gameplay / explanation video to help make my mind up. Interesting that Stern never did a promo teaser video this time around not even a week before.
