With a career that spans over 40 years, including 14 studio albums, five gramophone awards, a TV show, and a movie, Weird Al may have only just revealed his greatest accomplishment to date: a new pinball table called Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity.
Pinball machines have retained their popularity because of their targeting of specific fan groups. If you walk into a room full of pinball machines, you will most likely gravitate to a machine themed around a movie or TV show that you are already familiar with.
Multimorphic is the first company to create a table featuring Weird Al's massive body of work, which is why it is the first company to feature pinball machines featuring famous musical groups. Fans of Weird Al will probably find themselves singing along to 17 of his greatest hits licensed for the machine, including Like a Surgeon, White and Nerdy, Amish Paradise, and Dare to be Stupid.
Being Weird Al-themed is probably more than enough for most fans to unload a pocket full of quarters, but the table is built on Multimorphic's P3 Pinball Platform which brings some modern features to pinball with the most obvious being a high-def screen under the table.
Pre-orders for the Weird Al Museum of Natural Hilarity start on February 28, and there are two options: a Standard Edition kit featuring a standard height backbox, and an animated Weird Al playing the accordion popping out of the top. This is not the cheapest Weird Al collectibles. The Museum of Natural Hilarity upgrade kit costs $3,000 and the P3 Pinball Machine costs $8,300. Do you want to be stupid with your budgeting?
