Yippee Ki‑Yay! The Ultimate Die Hard Pinball Machine Is Real

By

Yippee Ki‑Yay, Pinball Fans!

Hold onto your flippers—because yes, there is a real-life Die Hard pinball machine… and it’s as epic as you’re imagining. The catch? It’s a one-off masterpiece crafted by Virginian pinball wizard Jason Good.

Seriously, can you believe no major pinball manufacturer ever made a Die Hard machine? With all the action, explosions, and John McClane one-liners, this franchise was practically made for pinball!

What started as a Visual Pinball X digital project has now become a fully playable, physical Die Hard Trilogy pinball machine – and the results are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Jason and his team have nailed it with incredible artwork, gameplay, and cinematic flair.

Honestly, someone alert the big pinball companies: grab Jason and his team, get the license, and make this official! Until then, we’ll just have to live vicariously through this one-off gem. Yippee Ki‑Yay indeed!

You all cast your vote and now it is time to reveal the results of what you all wanted your dream pinball theme to be.

We swear, we did not influence this result, but let’s just say we are very very happy to see Masters Of The Universe at the top of the dream theme heap! We were surprised with Pokemon, Die Hard (movie) and Predator (movie) getting votes for equal 3rd spot, but Harry Potter (2nd) and Rick and Morty (equal 3rd) were always going to poll well.

With all this talk of dream pinball themes, we wonder if the major pinball manufacturers and their licensing teams will take heed and surprises us in the not too distant future? We should hope so!

So, do you agree with this vote result? What theme would you have preferred to be number 1? Let us know via Twitter or Facebook – go on, have your say!
