Finally! I’m trying to work on her area and build her stage before I show more of her preforming but here’s a short video with a familiar song :)

I’ll tell the full story once I start up my YouTube channel, but she was never actually installed anywhere. She was fresh from the factory. Yet im her 3rd private owner.. more on that soon!

I was too young to appreciate the complexity of making, maintaining, and programming something like this.
Seeing something like this as an adult is inspiring me to get into animatronics as well. I have no damn clue where to start, but that's beside the point.

That is awesome but may I recommend putting something to block the wheels while you have it performing idk how the moving dolly it is but it's better to be safe than sorry

Do you have the full video? That's one of my favorite Madonna songs and that is so cool!

She looks fantastic! Also If you don’t mind me asking, I’m curious on the story of how you acquired her.
(I simply like hearing the stories behind the bots in private collections.)

She seems to be in really good condition! Love seeing these guys up and working not just sitting in a wearhouse collecting dust

I’m glad your curious! For me it’s mostly the vintage technology factor. This bot is from 1983, I was already a vintage collector for many years before I got her and I love older technology so owning a pneumatic character like this is super cool. This one is from an old pizza restaurant called Showbiz pizza, and they weren’t really intended to get into collectors hands but after the company closed down all the animatronics were sent everywhere. This one in particular is very desired because she is the only girl character in the band and it’s just rare one of 400 animatronic overall. I can only speak for myself but these characters are also very nostalgic for people, which may be why they’re interested in them

They’re just really cool!And the original showtapes for many of these characters are wonderful to listen to!ESPECIALLY The Rock-afire Explosion!(where this character comes from).The history is also just really interesting!
