About Us
Matt Riesterer started Back Alley Creations with the development of the “Black Pearl Pinball.” The original “Black Pearl Pinball” was the first creation that he did for Stern's 2006 “Pirates of the Caribbean” pinball machine. The “Black Pearl Pinball” was where Back Alley Creations took off.
Matt started using his experience in metal fabrication, prop design, sculpting and molding to start creating things that he felt needed to be included in pinball machines. Matt's eye for detail and precision allowed him to create full detailed parts to enhance the beauty of pinball. During this time, Matt created more detailed parts to be added to Stern's 2007 “Spiderman” Pinball, as well as many other popular pinball machines. Matt's artistic eye also saw a need to offer custom colors for pinball hardware to showcase the beauty of the pinball playfield. Matt Started offering custom powder coating on Stern's 2006 “Pirates of the Caribbean” and well the rest is history.
In 2011, Back Alley Creations was hired by Jersey Jack Pinball to design and sculpt the original toys for its 2013 “Wizard of Oz” pinball machine. We have had the pleasure of designing and sculpting for Jersey Jack's 2017 “The Hobbit” pinball, 2018 “Dialed In” pinball, and have worked extensively with them on their “Pirates of the Caribbean” pinball sculpting some of the original toys as well as mass producing a lot of the toy parts for most of their games.
Back Alley Creations also continues to design, create and mass produce toys for Spooky Pinball.

In 2016, Back Alley Creations finalized a deal with Planetary Pinball to make licensed Williams Pinball Mods, as well as remake some old stock parts for them.
Back Alley Creations was also contracted to design, create and mass produce the toys for American Pinball's 2018 “Houdini: Master of Mystery” pinball machine, and the 2019 "Oktoberfest" pinball machine.
