This morning, Stern Pinball officially revealed the official topper for it's super popular Godzilla Pinball machine. Not only was the topper revealed, they are already in stock and will begin shipping to dealers immediately. The topper will work on all three models of the game, Pro, Premium and Limited Edition.
The official Godzilla topper will be a lot cheaper than the Mandalorian and Rush toppers, with an MSRP of $999, compared to $2,000 and $1,699.99 for those two. As I hypothesized in my post on the topper last week, the topper does activate an exclusive mode in the game, "King of Monsters Time Attack."
At this time, Stern Pinball does not have a second run of the topper planned after this initial batch but the Company has told distributors that it does intend to produce more based upon demand.
Description from the Stern On-Line Store:
"The Godzilla Heat Ray Destruction Topper accessory will immerse players into a world of chaos, incorporating a custom molded Godzilla sculpture breathing a heat ray against a city landscape. With 3 fire panels, a custom sculpted heat ray plume implementing 21 RGB lights, and a special flash lamp projecting Godzilla’s shadow, this exclusive decorative topper integrates distinct light shows and includes an exclusive “King of the Monsters Time Attack” mode elevating the entire gaming experience of Godzilla."
