FIGURE: "The lead singer of the greatest animatronic band of all time, THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION, feels like it was pulled right off of the stage at Showbiz Pizza. Deluxe edition comes with classic striped overalls, trademark banjo, a 2” Birthday Bird mini-figure as well as an interchangeable version of Billy Bob’s head exposing the animatronic robot parts underneath."
About THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION: "The Rock-Afire Explosion is a life-sized animatronic robot band, created and manufactured by inventor Aaron Fechter, which played in Showbiz Pizza Place in the 1980s. Fechter implemented the use of latex masks for the characters’ faces, which allowed for a range of facial expressions, including smiling and the raising of eyebrows, along with computer programming that permitted some characters to move in rhythm with music, making it theoretically possible for them to play actual instruments."
