The Wolfman (Animatronic)

The Wolfman was created for the Wolf Pack 5 show and debuted at the 1978 IAAPA. He is meant to be a parody of the radio DJ, Wolfman Jack. Wolfman's mask uses the same mold as Buddy Crash from the Bear Country Jubilee, with teeth and mustache glued on. His mech was later reused for Repete Thornsberry in the Hard Luck Bears.
