Greetings Pinball Fans,

Since we have released the artwork for the playfield we have been busy on many fronts. The team at our MC is working on their prototype games as production parts continue to arrive daily at JJP in NJ. Jack spent last weekend at The Michigan Pinball Expo and had a blast with hundreds of people. KOZ and his people put on a great show. Thanks for everything and to everyone there. It gets bigger each year.

Jack spent the better part of this week visiting vendors in Chicagoland and at the MC. Next week, members of the Team will be in NJ to work on details of the production line and refine the various procedures and methods to build games. We will have another update at the end of next week.

We have not shown the Witch Mech. in a while so here's a shot of Matt and Bryan holding it. We are not showing the final at this time so these are prototype parts and some recent progress pictures. More on her next week.

We took a shot of some production playfields in a final stage of the Clearcoat™ process which is proprietary to JJP. Clearcoat™ brings out all of the vivid colors and subtle detail that Greg Freres work creates and when it's complete there is a beautiful hard clear finish.

Check out the link below for the exciting alliance we have formed with Dynamics, Inc.

This Sunday 4/22, both Jen and Drew celebrate Birthdays so everyone at JJP wishes them both well and Happy Earth Day too!

That's a nice PLAYFIELD very bright and detailed.   When I first heard about This title I cringed thinking how could they make this an appealing title (hate that damn movie).  But there doing a bloody good job with it.

  Thanks for the updates ^^^

Greetings Pinball Fans,
 
This weekend Jack is out in Denver at The Rocky Mountain Pinball Expo. Many thanks to Dan and Holly Nickolich for the hospitality and for the hard work that they and their people do to make this show happen.
 
At Noon today Jack spoke to a lively group of Pinball Fans many who have ordered ECLEWOZ games.
 
Greg Freres was there to show off the latest approved artwork, the playfield plastic set which is pictured below.
 
This past week Joe Balcer, Keith Johnson and Jim Thornton were at JJP Headquarters. The visit was the first of several planned in support of game production. Parts are still arriving daily and sub-assemblies are in process.
