If you're talking about that Franky thing, no, that's closer to pachinko. (I forget what the actual name for it is, however.)

While I have been shown the POP! figurines, the others, I know as a fact, do not exist, as I monitor recent releases of the other two pretty closely. For the latter, in particular, there has not been a release of an arcade-sized pinball machine of any anime property (the closest there's been is Godzilla, which was based on the 1996 movie--the only other Japanese franchises to have a pinball machine are Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, and Transformers the last of which is based on the Michael Bay movies).

There's a lot of One Piece pinball machines in Japan and fan-made pinball machines outside Japan, just Googlefu it.

Sailor Moon and One Piece official Monopoly just released recently.

I think leafy sea dragon is referring to just the US and not other countries. I mean sure Italy is getting One Piece (and Sailor Moon) Monopoly... but is it coming here? No really... probably not...

No, I do mean worldwide. If this is official and created by Hasbro, then I'll check it off the list. If it's bootleg, however, it won't.

As for pinball, I do keep my ear to the ground pretty strongly, and there is neither any mention of One Piece pinball machines on Pinside nor Tilt Forums, nor is it listed on the Internet Pinball Database (and that list is downright MASSIVE, containing tens of thousands of releases, including the fan-made Naruto mod--this is the list, but it requires you log in to see it). Searching for "one piece" on any of those sites turns up nothing. None of the manufacturers officially in the business from 1999 and onwards (Stern Electronics, Bally, Williams Electronics/WMS, Jersey Jack Pinball, Spooky Pinball, Silver Castle, Heighway Pinball, American Pinball, MarsaPlay, Chicago Gaming Company, Planetary Pinball, Churchill Cabinet, Multimorphic) or even the shadier ones (Skit-B, Zizzle) have made any mention of One Piece whatsoever. Also, to my knowledge (and I do know a lot about pinball), no Japanese company is currently in the business (not counting US branches of Japanese companies), the most recent one being SEGA, which stopped in 1979. There are hobbyists and parts dealers in Japan, but none who design, manufacture, and sell fully-functioning pinball machines for a living. This is why there are so few Japanese licensed pinball machines.

(And this is one thing I really do want to have in my house. If any of those above companies announces a One Piece pinball machine, I am selling off my Jolly Park and buying it new-in-box even if it's ten grand.)

You know what would be great if it looked like Game of Thrones? A live action Fate series.

Yeah, they should do that, damn it. It's basically Highlander they could totally sell that to normal people. And it would star a blonde british lady so it would be super easy.

On the plus side, if this does resemble a piece of 90's syndicated cheese, it will have a kickass theme. Remember Highlander?
