It also features a reimagined artwork package by Flyland Designs’ Brian Allen, including speaker panel and inner cabinet art. The blue powdercoat side rails include flipper button area protection, with the blue theme extended to the legs, backbox hinges and lockbar. The game appears to include the LCD mystery mirror panel which was part of the Funhouse 2.0: Rudy’s Nightmare upgrade kit. It is also expected to run on the FAST Pinball controller and driver boardset and use playfields made by Classic Playfield Reproductions in Nova Scotia, Canada. Building of the game will take place at the Euro Pinball Corp manufacturing business in Italy established in conjunction with Pinball Brothers.
