Here's another update:
A shopper in the Chicago western suburbs has reported seeing a 5-foot-tall robot Santa, a 5-foot-tall Mrs. Santa, and a 5-foot-tall Nutcracker/Soldier at a chain housewares/outdoors/seasonal merchandise store called "F.I.M."
I am not familiar with the "F.I.M." retail chain, but this is the first sighting of yet another life-size audio-animatronic character (the Nutcracker/Soldier).
As I've mentioned above, if you're planning to drive a character with a stereo, a microphone, or Ultra-Hal via a computer audio output, make the sales-people show you the audio input jacks and demonstrate the lip-synchronization to your satisfaction!
Apparently some of these characters are designed with lip-synchronized speech capabilities, and some are not!
Best regards for the holidays!
Sincerely,
Don
Today I got a ' 5 ft singing Santa's and I was wondering if there is any way to have a button put on my front gate, so that passers by, would be able to push it to make the Santa dance. Can you suggest anything that might enable me to be able to do that? Because it would be shame to let the Santa go to waste like that!
