Where's Uncle Fester? (Addams Family pinball)

[Colton '67]

I've played the actual TAF pinball machine and Uncle Fester is sitting in the electric chair, but for some reason he's absent in this? Just an empty chair. Why is that?

The prop is actually an after market add-on. FarSight only has license to make Original table designs. That's why they don't do any colored DMD displays. They have to keep it original. Cheers!

Christopher Lloyd, the actor that played Uncle Fester, did not allow his voice or likeness to be used.

Cheers exmachina64! He isn't refering to the likeness, he's talking about the physical toy fester doll that came after market and sits on the electric chairs on real tables. :)

Not an after-market add-on, but only available on Special Edition (aka "Gold" edition) cabinets, of which only 1,000 were made. Released two years after the original. Had extra speech, playfield add-ons like Fester on the electric chair, and Thing's box having a "wood" varnish instead of plastic, and extra bonuses like "Cousin It's Hideout," which awarded extra points on random mansion rooms.
