One of my relatives had a smaller version of this bear; in addition to the pouring and drinking, once the bear drank from the cup, his eyes would roll and the fur on top of his head would wiggle.

The system of tubes is a very elegant way to keep the bottle filled. Well done!

It must have taken significantly more than five nights at Freddy’s for an animatronic to reach that level of horror.

Yeah, but they’re going to get a fur transplant. They’ll be better in the future. :+1:

Still, it’s a great concept how the water moves back into the bottle. Really cool.

I have seen their work on Salvage Hunters: the Restorers* and they always manage to do a good job.

*a bit like Repair Shop but more commercial.

I misread the title as “Antique beer automaton…”.
Then looked at the clip.

Serendipity.

I wonder if they’d be up to the task of re-skinning a T-800 Endoskeleton.
