Although complaints about the original artwork were honestly quite minimal, the updated artwork is in a league of its own.

Here�s a direct side-by-side comparison, with the new artwork (and playfield plastics) on the left, and the original artwork on the right.

As Keanu would say... whoa! Click on the photo for a larger version. More updates after the break.
