Fingerprint: Wicked Taz-Ball, pair of identical black-haired female faces wrapped in red-orange flame mirrored either side of four stacked center inserts, four-column central insert tower mixing white and blue lit panels for multi-balls, vast chrome wire ramp plumbing across upper half, round pale-blue emblems with white three-pointed M on apron sides, electro-mechanical, pale cream-grey cabinet, steel-blue black chrome with red yellow blue accents

The most memorable feature is the pair of identical black-haired female faces in profile, wrapped in red and orange flame, mirrored on either side of the four stacked centre inserts. Second, the four-column central insert tower mixing white and blue lit panels naming multi-balls. Third, the vast amount of polished chrome wire ramp and ball-guide plumbing arching across the upper half, catching light. Fourth, the round pale-blue emblems carrying a white three-pointed M on both sides of the apron, and the mirrored SQUEEZE TRIGGER instruction text. A small dark silhouette inside a glowing oval at bottom centre is also unusual.

Full description

Full-view photograph of an electro-mechanical pinball playfield under a reflective glass top, cabinet sides and chrome lockdown bar visible at the edges. The lower third is a black and steel-blue apron with a symmetrical chevron of yellow-and-orange trim, two chrome outlane rails, a red round centre post cap and two white rubber flipper bats pointing inwards. Four rectangular backlit inserts are stacked vertically in the centre of the apron area: two lit white with red borders and two glowing blue, sitting between two matching black-haired female faces wreathed in red and orange flame. Across the mid-playfield three blue-bordered lanes are labelled FREEZE, above a scatter of glossy red round inserts and a large gold-and-black spread eagle. Chrome wire ramps, rails and a clear plastic ramp dominate the upper half, with blue and yellow plastics bearing a round white F-like emblem. Two large circular light-blue emblems with a white three-pointed M sit on the left and right of the apron. Colour scheme: pale cream/grey cabinet, steel blue, black, chrome silver, with red, yellow and blue inserts as accents.

Three enormous overlapping portrait heads filling the whole glass - a grimacing square-jawed man on the left, a bigger stoic man in a crushed fedora dead centre, and a smirking dark-haired woman on the right. The huge top title is rendered in battered, splintered cream block capitals that look eaten away by acid or bullet hits. A bright red strip along the very bottom carries a slogan in large distressed red capitals, a deliberate red-on-dark contrast to the rest of the blue-grey art.

Full description

A backglass lit in dim blue-white monochrome tones, dominated by three large portrait heads across the width. At centre, largest, is a stern middle-aged white man with a square jaw, heavy brow, deep-set eyes looking slightly upward, and a crumpled pale brimmed hat whose crown blends into smoke-like brushwork; he wears a light-coloured shirt with a dark collar and dark tie at the lower right of the frame. To his left is a second man, similar square-jawed face, teeth bared in a grimace, wearing a dark suit and a bow tie, his head rising out of black shadow. To the right is a woman with dark pulled-back hair, arched brows, and a faint confident smile, bare shoulders visible, her face lit in cream tones. Behind all three heads is a dark blue-grey cloudy sky with wisps of white paint. Across the top, huge block letters with chipped, chipped-edged cream fill read the main title, with a smaller acronym line directly beneath. Along the bottom a red banner strip carries a slogan in large distressed red capitals, flanked left by a boxed script maker's logo and right by a website credit and a cursive artist signature.
