@@TheTNTMuffin Jared Sanchez’s collection,the guy who has 5 kings,also the 3rd one you mentioned is not a custom,it’s a Dolli Dimples with king cosmetics
@@tutorialtime403 Yeah I assumed something like that about the third one, but I didn’t see any info on that, so I didn’t mention it. Also wow that’s insane he has so many of them! 5 is insane
@@TheTNTMuffin yeah he has the 3 you mentioned,his first king witch he has him as an Irish character and king cat who he most of the time keeps him bare and has him play the saxophone
Volo seems to be focusing more on that rockafire they are installing. But as its outside in a shed. We migjt have a 2019 BBWL again. The four little shavers are working well though. And the beatles have slow air pressure
@@bartdude2032Both kings are getting a full overhaul at some point this year. Those bots were actually originally refurbished by Jared, the person that runs the King RU-vid channel. They took a ton of abuse due to the pressure being set way too high, and a lack of flow controls. The fast movement may look good on Jared’s RU-vid channel to some people, but in an environment where the robots perform all day every day, it’s just not feasible to have them running that fast.
@@showbizwisconsin8350I did not refurbish the mechanics, just the boards and cosmetics. With proper care (that’s the million dollar word), the body snapping would not have happened. The problem is there is no dedicated technician to keep them up working correctly. And hence is why it is best as a production. So when I legally rebranded the character, it seemed best as a production.
Btw, you have to pay to get into the Volo Auto Museum! You also have to pay to watch the kings and the Begals to play. The Pirates and little shavers are free if im not mistaken. Just wanted to clarify that!
As someone who went to the volo auto museum billions of times, it truly is a fun time. Ive seen all the animatronic shows and thats been the main reason I was going (beside all the music related stuff). I remember going as a little kid being scared of them, but after a while, I became obsessed. Now I go for nostalgia, but the pirates are still my favorite!
@@TheTNTMuffin I think I remember reading a sign saying that there are only 3 left, but volo has the one in the best condition. I dont remember were there from sadly.
I think there’s more king animatronics cuz TheRealSullyG Got a King head On eBay and there was a full body king animatronic at the mystery fun house in Orlando Florida and I heard that it was in a warehouse house or probably destroyed not sure if it’s true or not and there’s an other king retrofit with a band called Rocky and the railroad rascals but they just reskinned the king head use the body with a mr munch body
I feel comfortable that the kings are in private collections as they dont get overused and be taken care of. But places like jungle jims and volo i seen vids where they are running so much that they look like their at the end of their life! If i travel to usa i might go to smithy and other private places than places that use them for profit!
Yeah it’s nice to see them kept in good condition, but it’s also nice seeing them out in the public for anyone to visit. I’m glad there’s a mix of both!
I think both Jungle jims have the birds they are located in the pet section hanging from the celling you should go to the one in Farefield since its the original location and its very cool in there actually
I noticed you didint mention Sully. He also has (or had not sure what its curent status) a King animatronic he got from someone in a Large Box with couple other characters.
@@TheTNTMuffin check out the video: Buying more Chuck e cheese robots. Channel name is just sully. In the video one of the robots he unboxes is the king. Atleast so he says in it.
@@TheTNTMuffin it’s a really neat store, the bathrooms look like porta potties on the outside but are like actual bathrooms on the inside, they also sell stuff from all around the world,
@@TheTNTMuffin do it he’s the final character on a 3 stage he was important character than munch jr there were 8 of them left from 2014-2023 he was made from the looney bird bot respect the Pizza Cam
Hirtshals bowling center is a very old bowling alley in Denmark it might be a good video idea to look at it's history i actually bought a jackpot machine from it
Just wanna mention the guy you mentioned at the end is actually the exact same guy that runs The King animatronic RU-vid channel, it was just one of his side channels LOL He's pretty controversial within the fandom but at least those bots survived destruction! Nother note, Volo isn't really the best with their animatronic care, a lot has gradually broken over time and they don't really seem to know how to care for these things properly LOL
@TheTNTMuffin Interesting, I believe yrs ago when I had a call with Jared he told me it was his older account he abandoned? Not sure if that was a straight up lie or not LOL
@@FurbyRockerI never said that it was a side channel. @mikeymo helped me transform King John into a sitting King. And the arm mechanism is original to ETT (not dolly dimples)
