Maybe Stern want to capitalise on the success of Master of the Puppets with a Muppets follow up.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

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.

Or if we're going Rock n Roll, how about a Queen pin?

The thing with band pins I reckon is that Metallica looks awesome (and I am not a Metallica music fan) because of the artist behind the work, if it was a pin with a bunch of guys photoshopped on the playfield with long hair it wouldn't be the same. I just don't see too many other band pins with the same art potential, but could be wrong.

I don't think Stern can go wrong with Iron Maiden if they go with the cover style artwork and please the Maiden fans. Seems like there are a few out there and it has the music to back it up with the cool artwork.

I think the Beatles also have a varied catalogue of music and a Yellow Submarine themed machine alone would be awesome.

Cheers!
Adam.

Don't forget there's been quite a few crappy themes that have been made into great pinball machines.
The more I think about this one, the more I think it could actually be pretty cool.
Pins: The Getaway, TotAN, WH2O, Pinball Magic, Banzai Run, Flintstones, Judge Dredd, Lord of the Rings LE, Metallica LE, Iron Man VE, The Walking Dead LE, Star Trek The Next Generation.

I think a muppet pinball would have a limited market but that's the same for any machine trading on nostalgia. On the basis of nostalgic themed pins give me a Goonies pin  ^^^, I get that for sure. Loved that movie as a kid.

If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Stern could really go all out on the oversized plastic playfield toys on this one. Forget about Wolverine and Magneto.
