Evening everyone,

I think it’s safe to say Atomic Godzilla is one of the best mods for Stern Pinball's Godzilla and up until now he has gone unchallenged but now there is a new challenger for his crown as King of the Monsters.

Introducing Atomic King Ghidorah:

Video reel here:

I tried long and hard to get Paul @Jazzbouche to produce a Ghidorah as that back right corner was left feeling empty and more like Dialled In with nothing but towers and pylons as options.

Unfortunately he quickly had a year long waitlist on Atomic Godzlla, so with his full support I began learning 3D modelling, 6-8 months later and after scrapping the project and starting it over again, the big reveal is here.

Atomic King Ghidorah brings more powerful interactive lighting effects, along with the interaction and customisation you have all come to expect with the power of resident King of the Modders @stumblor Lolly GI.

Each Ghidorah is a carefully air brushed and hand painted resin sculpt, mounted on a plastic base featuring redrawn factory artwork in order to flawlessly replace your factory plastic, it also makes the install even easier at around 15 minutes.

Thanks to Davey Ghidorah brings a new 2 stage interactive lightshow, allowing Ghidorah to charge up his attack, before unleashing it on your playfield! This can be seen clearly running up his 3 translucent yellow spines, building in his eyes and mouths.

Of course running on Lolly GI this means the custom Lolly board controls everything flawlessly and is 100% configurable over wifi offering limitless configurations if you feel the need.

The price will be approx £260 (he is BIG) at the time of this post plus postage.

We have a list already started of people that have shown interest while this has been in development but please, even if we have discussed being on the list, pleases repost your interest and I will simply mark you off twice in your original/correct position.

I did have an initial batch of 50 almost ready for the release but those went within 24 hours of the Pinside reveal. I am already in the process of getting the second and third batches of 50 on the production line.

As always, thank you for the support.

Jon & Michelle - Hot Mods Pinball


Oh yeah I should probably mention, it does not block the awesome Noodle Bar from Davey, unless your below 5’5, in which case you might need a small step box to see the lowest half of the bottom neon symbol - step boxes sold separately.

Deffo a 'Hot Mod' Jon with all you've put in it >>> great to see it finally come to life !
 
I was all excited to buy this then I realised I’ve got the pylon mods installed in mine so probably wouldn’t fit. 😭😭

Thanks dude, it took about 4 months longer than it should have. When I started I had zero knowledge about 3D sculpting, by the time I had finished, I had learnt so much I felt I could do better, so started over adding about 30% more detail to the model.

I had to look for the image of the original sculpt as it’s been a while (these are just the outer heads, as the inner part of the heads, teeth, tongue, eyes are a separate translucent yellow part) but they the added details on the heads made a huge difference!

My tongue in cheek answer to this is power lines and pylons belong in Dialled In 😜

In all seriousness though, it is only the far back one that needs to be removed, this should be easy to relocate next to the main building as it’s close and there are plenty of nuts and threads you can use as mounts.

I was never a fan of that back one being mounted sideways and I always found it odd having pylons in a Godzilla pin as no pylon has ever survived/remained standing when Godzilla is around.

I actually blame @Jazzbouche as once I had Paul’s much larger Atomic Godzilla in the game, with Mecha Godzilla in the bottom right that back right corner just felt empty and uneventful and Godzilla is all about the Kaiju’s/monsters, so it felt natural to bring in his No.1 nemesis.!
 
Thought I'd post a comment on here as I already have the Deadpool/ Hellhouse mod that Jon previously worked on - for which I've really been impressed with the thought and quality work that goes into making it. If that is anything to go by, this new mod looks top notch.
