The Hobbit (LE)

The manufacturer expected the production run to be 1,500 units. As of August 2017, the game can still be ordered therefore the production run has not yet ended for us to confirm the actual quantity made. Jean-Paul de Win did the playfield and cabinet art as well as the video art for both displays. Matt Riesterer did the toy sculpting. All the music was written and created by the duo named Two Steps From Hell. Quinton Kappel provided the custom voice talent. Pictured here is a Limited Edition prototype machine photographed at Chicago Expo 2014 having "Seaside Bronze" armor, one of an estimated two such prototypes per Ted Estes. The armor was changed to "Bronze Vein" for production in 2016. The manufacturer had issued pre-production promo photos showing dark gray (or black) armor but this was an artist's coloring (including the leg bolts) and these legs did not appear on the game. Price when new: $8,500.00
