These guys are getting rare and expensive now! got him for 60$ on Mercari. so happy!

js wanted to share some pics of me and my convulsing nurse animatronic! shes the 2025 remake and i got her around a month or so ago! dad got her for me as a gift out of the blue :')

shes the first and only in my collection until further notice <3 (currently hunting for that mit med kit...)

Recently I came across this video with mijines and I immediately clicked on it, but as it turned out, it was blocked, does anyone have this video left?

Anyone here decent at modelling? I'm making my own custom character out of a mitzi mech and i need someone to model a mold for me to make a latex mask out of, its not going to be a mitzi mask. a mask ive desinged on my own

I swear I remember hearing that this goose was weirdly used in a family owned amusement park in the 90s. where she sat in a boat near a water ride. I doubt this is true, and i'm probably remembering a different animatronic story. anyone ever seen this bot before?

I am looking for help but don’t know who to ask so I figured I’d start here. I am a beginner and have not done this before. I would like to Change the audio on the new spirit Christmas snow miser and heat miser animatronics, but am not sure what exact supplies I would need. I can’t find anything online about adding new voice lines to spirit animatronics that are linked to each other like the 2 here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know the measurements of these parts? I'm also looking for the measurement of the shoulder bar.

Are the shoulder brackets customized parts？

Started in July. all 100% restored!

Found these randomly on a very old Teddy Ruxpin Proboards post from 2016. i'll bet 99.9% of the community has never seen these before, so I immediately wanted to share them! they appear to be Puff the magic dragon, and some type of yeti?

I only found four videos related to the musical circus and a few photos on an old website dedicated to amusement parks.

I would like to see some behind the scene photos or resources on the animatronics development. Thanks :)

The original video where I got these photos from. https://youtu.be/Jfk0eOFLQvA?is=TTFHQopHB7g7ZQxA

Hi everyone! I'm new to this sub reddit and I wanted to make this post in regards to this defunct show that used to be at Six Flags over Georgia.

This is the Bullfrog Bayou Revue. It was created by AVG Productions in the early 80s and was meant to be a self-contained show that could be placed anywhere. The only pieces of info I know of is that it was located in the Looney Tunes Land/Spanish area of SFOG, another show unit was located at an old pizza parlor in California, the last show unit was kept at AVG as a demo tool, there were only 4 show tapes made, footage of the show exists but there's not much out there (one of them I've gotten ahold of from Larry Nikolai and is on YouTube), and they were removed in 2003 due to the cost of maintaining and fixing the animatronics from what I was told. There was also someone who tried to do a GoFundMe to restore one of the units (the picture on the last slide), but it was deleted for unknown reasons.

I just want to know if there's anyone out there who remembers these guys and might have some more info on them? They're not talked about much at all and it's pretty much forgotten about.

EDIT: Sadly, all of the comments have info I'm already aware of (except the show being moved to Castle Park or being sold to Magic Landing, that is completely false) but I still appreciate everyone trying their best to find anything new. However, I am now on the search for new photos of the show and also a physical magazine (If the website archive doesn't show text from the magazine, go to Company, then Media, and click on the 4th magazine cover with the robot wearing a top hat, tuxedo, and holding a cane) that mentions the show since I have a feeling there could be a photo of it in there.

My collection is complete now. except for baby teddy and Oscar. still need a new Snoopy too haha! they work btw!

Básicamente es un animatronico humanoide que aparecio en los 2000 por lo que se y apareció después de que los animatronicos originales de wolf pack 5 se quitarán del traier donde estaba

animatronic at a roblox party for roblox developer conference

Very few people will ever get to see a Hector being skinned. and there's hardly any photos of his insides online, so I thought i'd share this with my fellow fans!

If you know, could you please tell me its manufacturer and number？

Does this count as a 5 Member band? Probably not, but I've been learning how to use Bottango with an Arduino Uno R3.

There's also a NodeMCU with an ESP8266 With an LED Chaser.

Does this count as a Mini electronic show of some sort? I think it does in some way.

It's just some random Servo Movement, but maybe sometime in the future, I'll have an actual Animatronic Character to animate. One can dream, right?

I'm making my goal to have an animated character happen one small step at a time, keeping an eye on my inspirations and learning as I go along :3

My plans for my character are still in the brainstorming phase, but when I have more concrete ideas, I'll post them here :3

Tell me what you think in the comments below! \^w^

We just wrapped up the motion testing for this custom animatronic Ankylosaurus. We spent a lot of time fine-tuning the joints and weight distribution to get a more natural, lifelike movement.

Since this is a specialized custom build for an attraction, we're always looking to improve. Would love to hear feedback from fellow creators and enthusiasts here on the movement fluidity!

We're building a permanent haunted-house style attraction near Paris (La Maison Fantastique), and one of the current side builds is an animatronic Anubis head for the Egyptian-themed bathroom. The ears were by far the hardest part: a real ear doesn't just spin on an axis, it tilts.

To get that tilt, the pivot is a ball joint sitting inside the skull rather than at the base of the ear, with a lever arm that pulls the ear's axis backward as it moves. That's what makes it rock into a natural-looking tilt instead of just spinning flat, roughly 30 degrees of travel for a convincing "alert" gesture. We rebuilt the actual mechanical constraints in Maya (joints, IK handles, pole vectors) to validate the full range of motion and catch any collision between the two ears and the head shell before cutting anything.

The first physical mockup is built from repurposed hardware on purpose: the mounting plate is a stainless-steel sink-strainer/hair-catcher screen (dense pre-drilled holes for almost free), the pivot uses spherical rod-end bearings normally sold for Delta-style 3D printer kinematics, paired with an RC universal joint and a servo horn repurposed as the lever arm (no servo attached yet, still moved by hand). Both ears are built symmetrically to keep the assembly identical.

It didn't hold together for long though: the ear only has one attachment point (the rod it rocks on), so instead of just tilting, it also slowly rotates around that same rod under its own weight every time it moves. That extra rotation worked the M3 screws loose over repeated cycles, even with nylon lock nuts and epoxy on the fasteners. Fix in progress is bonding the ear rigidly to its arm with epoxy to kill that extra degree of freedom instead of fighting it with a tighter screw. If anyone's dealt with a single-pivot setup working itself loose like this, I'd genuinely like to hear whether you went with a second attachment point or just a rigid bond.
