(WED, Date unknown) Following their introduction at the 1964/65 World’s Fair, Disney planned for the large-scale use of Audio-Animatronics in many future attractions. As a result, WED Imagineering’s MAPO division developed the casting system to take a “kit of parts” approach to figure production. This is an authentic, MAPO-built Series A-1 Audio Animatronics frame from the Disney casting system. The A-1 series of figures include the human characters in Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, and dozens of other classic Disney attractions around the world. The frame is presented without head or hands, with several animatronic cylinders in place. Steel and aluminum. Measures 23.5”x96”x26.25”.
