Mr. Munch (Cyberamic)
The Mr. Munch Cyberamic is an animatronic figure created by Pizza Time Theatre Inc. for Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre locations from 1979-1980s and by other companies in the 1990s.
It is a pretty simple figure, having only 8 movements. The Mr. Munch Cyberamic would later be utilized in the Road Stage, 2-Stage, and 1-Stage shows as part of Munch's Make-Believe Band, changing his arms to play the keyboard correctly, and stopping his body turns.
History
This animatronic first premiered at the Concord, CA (1975 Diamond Blvd) in 1979. The only changes to his look over the years were the addition of a baseball hat that read "Munch" as well as legs and shoes.
