What Happened to the Crocodile Hunter Pin

The Head 2 Head Pinball podcast interviewed Wayne Gillard on their podcast last week!  Gillard had a lot of great stories.  He also shared a little bit about the rumored Crocodile Hunter pinball machine:

“Regardless of what people say, it costs you a million dollars, no matter who it is, to design a pinball machine from scratch.  From design to having a product that you can start putting on a production line and copying.  We put about 250 thousand into it, we had a playfield layout, we had some basic flippable software, cabinet art, translite art.  We didn’t have any playfield art yet but that was where we were heading.  We had some sounds and some voice and stuff as well.  So we were getting to that point, but unfortunately he got killed by a sting ray…He approved some of the art, some of the voice stuff…”

Dr. Phil is a Pinhead

It is true.  Dr. Phil is a Pinhead.  In a separate interview, he calls pinball one of his vices.  (Thanks Matt Peace for the interview link!)

The best part of this?  This comment we received on Twitter from @Tipsy_Danger_:

“I wonder what machine he has. I like to imagine it’s a Dr. Dude with tape over the “dude” and Phil sharpied on it.”

Robin Williams Owned a Hook Pinball Machine

A collection of Robin Williams possessions will be auctioned off and the proceeds will be given to Williams’ favorite charities.  One of those items is a Hook Pinball machine, a give to Williams from Steven Spielberg.  RIP Robin Williams.

— To Those Who Make This Hobby Better —

Shoutout to @Tipsy_Danger_ on Twitter!!  As mentioned above, he commented on Dr. Phil being a Pinhead by saying: “I wonder what machine he has. I like to imagine it’s a Dr. Dude with tape over the “dude” and Phil sharpied on it.”  That visual was one of the highlights of my pinball week.  Thanks Tipsy Danger!!
