KISS has teamed up with Stern Pinball for the release of a new pinball machine. IGN reports that artist Kevin O’Connor, who contributed the hand-drawn art for the KISS console originally released in 1978, returned to contribute to the new machine. “They’re a great rock ‘n’ roll show, with great theatrics,” explained Stern CEO Gary Stern. “Their makeup, their look, it’s just cool for pinball.” The new machine will feature a giant Gene Simmons head that “spits [balls] out for the ‘Blood-Spitting Demon Bass Solo’ multi-ball mode.” According to Stern director of marketing Jody Dankberg, that’s just one way the new game attempts to reflect the KISS concert experience. “At a Kiss concert, [Paul Stanley] likes to fly out into the crowd and he plays on a little stage . . . We re-created that with the ball,” Dankberg explained. “The ball will float the back panel on a magnet, land on the stage, then the toy Paul Stanley is going to rock out to ‘Love Gun.'” There is no official release date or price for the new pinball machine.
