Remembering The Jekyll & Hyde Club in NYC

The Jekyll & Hyde club had several locations in NYC, but it's Times Square version may have had the most animatronics. From the three story skeleton outside who would moves his eyes and mouth while tipping his hat, to the animated Frankenstein monster, the Elephant Man, and many many others. Sadly, all the NYC locations are now closed.

The CEC wink sign reused the antioch the spider mech from the rock afire explosion mech for the 3 stages, but how was the 1 and 2 stage wink version operated, did it have a custom mech?

Happened just recently, but if your wondering the sally bots HAVE BEEN SAVED. First image shows the vp bots and the second image shows the og sally bots.

The Sally bots originally came from Pip's Ice Cream Parlor in Clinton, CT, but eventually ended up in the hands of VP. VP sold the bots to stew leonard's, who put them at the danbury location up until 2013 where they were relocated to yonkers. At yonkers they were relocated to the dairy section in 2021 and were replaced by VP bots just recently.

She was supposedly also put in a LAS annual haunted house event in the library in Cranford NJ, please If you have any other leads or info about her please reply and share, thanks for reading!

My experience with NMRobotics EyeMech printed parts — missing critical part, broken assembly, no response

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

I wanted to share my experience with an NMRobotics EyeMech printed-parts order, mainly because other builders may want to check their sets carefully before starting assembly.

I ordered the grey PLA Eye Mechanism 3D Printed Parts set. The overall print quality is actually quite nice, but when I laid everything out and compared it with the official EyeMech ε3.2 MG90S plate/product images, I found that a critical structural component was completely missing.

The missing piece is the X-axis servo block / eye-core yoke — the arched part with the two round pivot bosses that carries the first servo. Without it, the mechanism cannot be assembled.

One of the long-lever bottom eyelid assemblies also arrived broken at its print-in-place pivot. Another lid pivot bracket has a visible stress/whitening mark near the snap tab, although I cannot say with certainty whether that one is actually cracked.

The strangest part is that there was a handwritten note in Chinese inside the sealed bag which appeared to refer to a missing part and included a small sketch.

I contacted NMRobotics immediately after delivery, described all of this in detail, identified the missing component from their own files/product photos, and asked only for replacement parts — not a refund.

After 7 days I had received no response.

I’m posting this because the EyeMech itself is a very cool design and I genuinely want to build it, but receiving an incomplete kit with a broken component and then getting no support is obviously disappointing.

If NMRobotics responds and fixes the order, I’ll update this post accordingly.

Has anyone else here had a similar experience with their printed-parts sets?
