If you're ever tempted to sell these over the coming years, DONT. You'll regret it later on, and they'll be nearly impossible to procure again in 10-20 years
These types of videos inspire me to learn about the electronics behind the characters, their history and their design, as well as to produce my works better! It is a pleasure to see that in the middle of 2023 there are people doing this type of work! all the best!
I really enjoy storytelling like this! It’s cool to hear about the funtown mountain characters again. I remember seeing those on the Carpetbagger and your channel way back when. Which contributed to my interest in Aaron’s work!
We still have a Showbiz Pizza, currently a furniture store but there used to be SBP signage in the parking lot until a couple of years ago. There's still the bones of old band setups (Tweetsie Railroad) here and there. R-A-F fans know the feeling.
Seeing your interview from Norm was actually my first introduction to the Rockafire Explosion and I was hooked straight away, playing five nights at freddy's and now seeing real life animatronic performers amazed my 12 yo brain and from then on I was constantly looking at old motors and electric robots to rip apart and reuse to make my own version of billy bob. Although I failed horribly it was extremely fun! I just wanted to let you know that if it wasn't for you I would never have found out about these guys as soon as I did, so thank you so much for your hard work!
Couldn't agree with your two videos more, Jack! Pretty much the same way I got hooked on the Rock-afire, albeit a bit later than I wanted lol. Wish I got into it around the time you did, because there's so much cool stuff I missed. But better late than never! The band is such a charm and it's so cool to see these guys get restored by someone with such a passion for it. Keep up the great work, and thanks for your help on everything thus far!
Was interesting to watch this unfold over the years. I remember in the interview you were originally intending to re-skin Mitzi into your own character.

Really impressed with your story. Nice to hear you had a pleasant experience with AF. Unfortunately not everyone has.
Bro has the biggest bravery for having that in the house
the animatronic characters do get a bit quirky at night.
oh god, afton’s coming back
I was honestly really shocked when i seen how young you were, even with the help of your dad being able to manage a whole ass animatronic is crazy
…I’ve followed Rockafire stuff for like 7 years now, and had no idea you were the guy on Tested until right now… crazy stuff dude.

The Maker fair video with your Mitzi and Billy Bob was one of the things that got me into the Rock Afire Explosion.
