The pop bumper, as the base of the bash toy, would give the bash toy more life. In the same way the magnet successfully adds life to TWD LE/Premium's WW, Xmen's wolverine and Ironman's Ironmonger. What I don't like about the TWD Pro is that the ball just bounces off the WW without any action - the WW absorbs the energy of the ball, preventing it from being a 'feel good' shot.
Using WW as a toper for a bumper could have been cheap and would have added heap of fun, but I'm sure it never came to Stern's minds. I expect it could have been mechanically designed to also spill its guts when hit.
...maybe on a future game?
