Much like spacehey is a retro social media that has been brought to modern standards while keeping the original spirit my new purchase is something much in the same vain for pinball.
It is a old tropic isle pinball machine from 1962 which has been refurbished and repainted to Disney theme and has had a modern digital scoreboard added.
I had to go across to England to get but it was well worth it.
I can't decide if I should repaint to a theme I like as I am not a fan of Micky mouse but the previous owner did such a good job repainting I don't want to ruin it. Plus the wife and little cousins love it.
I was thinking if I do repaint it will either be one of four options:
Comic book themed (thinking maybe something from Image like Fire Power)
Something original like characters from the comic I created. (Please grab copy of you are in the UK or Ireland by going here)
The original theme of tropic isle which you can see below.
Finally the Bally version of this playfield which is a spaceman theme called moonshot.
Opinions on whether to stick with the Disney theme of change to one of the following would be appreciated.

If you want to compete in pinball tournaments, you'll need a lot of talent. A certain amount of chance is always present, but as a player's ability and consistency grow, the luck aspect becomes essentially unimportant. Professional Dissertation Help UK

I wouldn't blame you for keeping it as is, but if you were to change the theme I think going for a theme based on your original comic would be a very good idea. It would be totally unique, and I imagine from your perspective it would be cool to be playing on a pinball machine with your original characters on it.
Thanks dude. It has grown on me and I decided to keep it as is. Probably for the best as not sure I am as good an artist as the person who painted this.
