The 14 Animated Figures does not include things like animated props and similar items. It's just the characters.

Finally confirmed the spinning star fish in Mermaid are not AAs.

It's in the IU article.

Fingers crossed he's in the ride with the other OGs!

Any word on the supplier? I’m betting it’s Creature Technology.

The figures look spectacular. Really happy with how Dracula looks in monstrous form. Great to see Gil, too.

Wasn't expecting any references to the Mole People, so that rocks.

 

[Lucky Planet]

holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap

EDIT: why is Dracula like... hot

all of them look cute. even Frankenstein and wolfman. that's not a bad thing! but they look like, softer. softer features. the only one that didn't look softer was creature of black lagoon.
he looks very creepy.
obviously wolfman looks fierce and vicious but he's got a softer look
softer than I expected. and dracula definitely looks pretty.

Dracula looks way better! The art they keep using is doing him dirty

But..... where phantom?

I wonder if phantom will take his mask off.

My Boy Creature is getting a meet and greet and an anamatronic? Wow

Kinda Wonder if any of the Themeing from this land will be brought over to the Vegas experiences they are building

he looks better with fangs to be honest. great change.

Lon Chaney should get double billing. He played both the wolfman and the phantom of the opera.

Ah, you see, they didn't cancel the show.

Well, despite my best efforts to avoid it, the Creature from the Black Lagoon AA is all over the place online.

He looks incredible. Best character revamp of the bunch by far. Very identifiable as the classic design, but executed as it probably would be if the movie were being made today.

Won’t spoil you, but knowing you and your vibes, the AAs are literally perfect. You need no worry.

We thinking there could be a meet-n-greet with Victoria Frankenstein as well? I'd be shocked if there isn't.

Also, just... holy sh*t. The animatronics are PERFECT. This is very easily the most excited I've ever been for any ride ever.

 

[Wigglepebbles]

I wasn’t sold with the artwork shown earlier, but in animatronic form they’re simply amazing!

 

[GA-MBIT]

If these are as amazing as they are being talked up, I might have some trouble avoiding spoilers. I imagine I'll be seeing a lot of these guys in thumbnails and posted on social media.

Very excited for all the effort being put into this land. What an amazing time to be a Universal fan.

 

[Lucky Planet]

they should do the Thriller dance lol

It was posted (by Alicia) there is --- with one more animatronic of Frank

I believe they are from Roush. Universal has worked with them on a few projects before but I don't believe they've worked on any Animatronics for Universal, might be wrong on that though.

Interesting. They seem REALLY advanced so I thought it had to be Creature.
