I was looking for cool PTT data and found this article, and then this image, and then whatever that is.
Who is this?
No seriously I have no possible theories I’m confused.
They don’t even mention them, like it’s a ghost.
@CyberSnout Do you know what this is? I’m honestly stumped. I don’t even know if it’s an Animatronic but it has the Fantasy Forest/Cyber Head design, which makes me really question what this is.
My only guesses are either a test character for drum based cyberamics, or a test character for something else.
I at least think it’s a bear judging by the Short Snout and small ears.
It’s unknown but it’s likely A. a scrapped cabaret character or B. a character for created by the company for a non PTT business.
it kinda looks like a beaver. i’ll look into beaver animatronics and the like
what era are the heads in the frame from?
The article and image are from October 1981.
copy that, thank you
@CyberSnout I found the Bear. He’s in the same article as the King prototype.
test/prototype article (Since they don’t have a name I don’t want to create an actual article just yet.
The Drumming Bear was an unnamed Test character created by Fantasy Forest for most likely Pizza Time Theatre sometime between 1979 and 1980.
does that mean that the bear was a character? i’m so intrigued by this. how can we find his name??
The Bear seems to have been an actual Animatronic. We don’t know his name yet, as no newspaper mention him directly, but it does give us info such as the bot being built by Fantasy Forest. It’s kind of amazing that of ALL the bots the newspaper chose to mention, one of them was the Mystery Drumming Bear.
As for how we could find his name, I’m not really sure what you mean by that.
The only ways we could find His name would be through newspapers and mentions in corporate documents.
i had posted that comment before i saw your other replies lol, the site is laggy on my device. i don’t think we can find his name because he’s probably just a prototype
Wasn’t that one scrapped cabaret octopus supposed to play the drums?
It’s possible. To my knowledge we have never received any info on what the octopus was. We don’t even know who made it.
Probably not since the Bear was made by Fantasy Forest in house while the Bull was seemingly a reproduction/replica bot of a Pasqually mech by PTT corporate.
i’m pretty sure that ozzy was an april fools’ joke
