X-Men Wolverine LE
About This Machine
The X-Men Wolverine LE pinball machine, designed by John Borg and released by Stern Pinball on June 29, 2012, is a limited-edition variant produced in a confirmed run of 300 units, themed around the Marvel character Wolverine. It is distinguished from the Pro and Magneto LE models by blue powder-coated trim and a mirrored backglass in place of a translite.
Key gameplay features include three flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, two magnets, seven standup targets, two pop-up targets, a spinning target, and a magnetic spinning disc, all contributing to an immersive experience built around the X-Men license. The machine's motorized right ramp can pivot to deliver the ball to the left ramp, and it supports multiball with four installed pinballs, along with a vertical up-kicker, scoop, dual up-post captive ball lock, dual right inlanes, and speech.
The X-Men Wolverine LE's art, credited to Kevin O'Connor and Stephen Jensen, pays homage to the comic book series, and its Wolverine figurine toy doubles as a "Bash Toy" with a standup target built into its base. Notably, the machine's backbox is equipped with fluorescent lighting, creating a dynamic visual effect. As a limited run of 300 confirmed units, this pinball machine is sure to captivate fans of the X-Men franchise and enthusiasts of pinball in general.
