With the recent launch of the new “Lightyear” film into theaters worldwide, it’s no wonder that the Toy Story franchise is getting renewed interest as of late, despite the former being a spinoff of the latter. This is why the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of pinball games, Jersey Jack Pinball, collaborated with Disney and Pixar to create a brand new Toy Story 4 pinball machine, based on the latest movie in the franchise, originally released in 2019.
The Toy Story 4 Pinball game has all the bells and whistles of a premium pinball machine, including an HD monitor that displays scenes from the movies and characters, and that reacts to the player’s performance in-game. This feature comes alongside lots of appearances from characters in the movie, some of which are even part of bonus stages and features. This includes Duke Caboom, Forky, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and many more. The cherry on top is that the action is mostly narrated by Bo Peep, and that the game also includes a special rendition of Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”.
The pinball machine itself looks like a top-quality product, like we’d expect from any JJP creation. It comes in two editions: Limited Edition, and Collector’s Edition. The Toy Story 4 Pinball Limited Edition comes with a blue-coated armor that gives it a sleek finish, as well as exclusive cabinet artwork. Moreover, it also comes with a shaker motor that provides haptic feedback during play; a sheet of invisiglass for the playfield to enhance visibility in any lighting condition, and special individualized numbering plaques. This edition will have a MSRP of $12,000.
Meanwhile the Collector’s Edition features much of the same, but it also offers a unique Pixar ball shooter; a different set of artwork and armor coating color; a set of fiber optic fireworks topper, along with a flying Duke Caboom mech for the Duke Caboom bonus jackpot event, and a set of over 450 LEDs for the under-cabinet lighting, among others. This Collector’s Edition is the real deal, and is definitely worth the extra $3,000 that it costs, if you’re a fan of the franchise.
One unique feature that distinguishes this machine from most others is the digital photo booth, which automatically takes pictures of the user as they play. This comes alongside standard features like WiFi connectivity for uploading players’ high scores, along with their best photos, to Twitter. Furthermore, both editions come with Bluetooth audio so that the player can get completely immersed in the action with a set of wireless headphones. Lastly, the game also features connectivity with Scorbit, an online competitive pinball platform and social network where everyone can share scores and engage in discussions with other users around the globe.
