Poster Girl

Poster Girl is a fascinating and enigmatic electro-mechanical pinball machine from the lesser-known Spanish manufacturer Talleres del Llobregat S.A. [Automaticos]. Its exact production year is unknown, but its glamour-themed design places it among the wave of European EM machines built around a 'women/glamour' theme.

The machine boasts an impressive array of features that would be familiar to pinball enthusiasts of the era: two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, and a host of rollover buttons, standup targets, and a kick-out hole create a dynamic playing experience. The inclusion of a mini-bagatelle in the upper-right playfield adds an extra layer of challenge and variety to gameplay. Notably, each of the four score reels features numbers printed in different colors -- green for thousands, blue for hundreds, black for tens, and red for ones -- creating a visually distinctive display.

The design and art on Poster Girl carry the glamour theme through the cabinet and backglass. With a maximum of 18 replays on the replay wheel, players need to master their skills quickly to make the most of a game. Its designer remains unknown, but Poster Girl stands as an interesting example of early Spanish pinball manufacturing.
