The picture above ( originally posted by Gorgar ) shows what looks to be a scoop exit inside Gene's mouth . Doesn't look like the head can lower because of the stand-up targets and rails around the spinning disc . I don't think it'd be able to tilt forward either as his head would hit on that wireform ramp . It looks as though the set-up is for Gene's head to stay as-is and the balls do indeed exit his mouth down onto the playfield . Two problems with this could be :

- Dents in the playfield from repeated ball drops from a height .
- Tongues breaking .

I guess time will tell .
