Overview

Come one, come all and feast your eyes on a pinball marvel that’s sure to amaze and delight players and fans of all ages as we introduce to you the “Eighth Wonder” topper for Stern’s King Kong!

Featuring iconic imagery and artwork that matches the game and a dynamic, interactive lighting experience that illuminates the city skyline as well as your gameroom. Rip those spinners and see an interactive spotlight light up Kong on top of the Empire State Building casting a cool strobing shadow effect onto your game room’s ceiling! 

The main attraction is undoubtedly the sculpted billboard structure that features an embedded 10-inch digital display and comes preloaded with 6 animated recreations of iconic King Kong movies posters. Owners will also have the ability to fully customize the display by adding any video footage they want to the included SD card making their topper a truly one-of-a-kind showcase!

For LE owners an additional upgrade package (+75 Euro) is available. Package includes adding a mirror finish to key elements of the topper to match the game’s mirrored translight, and a custom billboard plaque that features the game’s LE number. *Please add a note when placing order, or email us afterwards. We will then send a separate link for payment and your order will be added to the LE list.

All toppers will feature the easiest installation process we’ve built to-date and can be installed in 3 easy steps using the game’s existing mount screws and power supply!
