Metallica Master of Puppets (Limited Edition)

The Metallica Master of Puppets Limited Edition pinball machine, designed by John Borg and released by Stern Pinball in 2013, is a limited-run variant within Stern's Metallica lineup, produced in a confirmed run of 500 units. It caters to the devoted fan base of Metallica and pinball enthusiasts alike, bringing the intensity of the band's music to the playfield.

The gameplay is defined by its energetic and challenging design, with 2 flippers, 3 pop bumpers, and 2 slingshots that require precise timing and strategy. The bar target is a standout feature, allowing players to score points by hitting it in the right combinations.

The mirrored backglass features artwork that showcases caricatures of the band members amidst flames. This edition carried an MSRP of $7,595 when new. Each unit included a numbered Limited Edition certificate and plaque, though at least one documented example has been found with mismatched numbering between its playfield tag and certificate, suggesting such discrepancies may not be unique to that game.
