Kewpie Doll

Kewpie Doll, designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, was manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in October 1960, with 950 units confirmed produced. It is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) machine with a carnival shooting-gallery theme, and notably was the last wood-rail machine Gottlieb ever made.

The playfield features two flippers, three pop bumpers, four passive bumpers, two slingshots, ten standup targets, and two gobble holes. A distinctive 'Score to Beat' window on the backglass let operators slide in a card showing a suggested high score for players to chase, drawn from a set of replaceable cards (in point values from 1,100 to 1,500); the maximum displayable score is 1,999 points, and the replay wheel maxes out at 26. Sound is provided by two bells and a knocker.

Interestingly, Gottlieb's manufacturer flyer artwork for Kewpie Doll shows the playfield missing a pair of rubbered posts that are present near the shooter alley on actual production units -- a small but documented discrepancy between promotional art and the finished game. Beyond these production details, specific information about the game's broader reception is not available.
