Animatronic English Civil War figure. Multiple programmable head and eye movements.
February 2001
In partnership with Gems Display Figures, now Gems Studio.
The Animatronic Head is fully programmable for movements of nod, shake and eyes from side to side.
All the mechanics are contained in the head which uses the standard Gems neck-post attachment which enables it to be fitted to any of the Gems range of bodies.
The moves for the head and eyes are recorded by moving a control knob, repeating for each of the movements and so building up the performance which can last up to four minutes. The performance can be triggered by infrared sensors etc and can also be set to repeat automatically.
