    description
    Ball-holding toys are [[gameplay-feature:interactive-toys]] that catch the ball and keep it — themed stand-ins for plain [[gameplay-feature:ball-locks]], usually staging a [[gameplay-feature:multiball]]. The catch is the show: a rotary fishing reel locks the balls on *[[title:fish-tales]]* (1992, [[manufacturer:williams]]),[1] Thing's disembodied hand plucks the ball from the playfield of *[[title:the-addams-family]]* (1992, [[manufacturer:bally]]) by magnet and drops it below,[2][3] the ball flies more than twenty inches through the air into the steamer trunk of *[[title:houdini]]* (2017, [[manufacturer:american-pinball]])[4] and Soundwave's chest opens as a working cassette door to lock pinballs on *[[title:transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye]]* (2026, [[manufacturer:stern-pinball]]).[5]
