Sgt. Singer (Animatronic)
History
Sgt. Singer was produced by Creative Presentations for Craig Singer and was used in Sgt. Singer's Pizza Circus sometime around 1982. At some point he would be renamed to Sgt. Striper by Creative Presentations so that they could sell the show elsewhere branded as Sgt. Striper's Review. Other known shows Sgt. Singer was in were a Sgt Striper's Touring Band Show in Wild Horse Saloon from Idlewild Park in Ligonier, Pennsylvania and a show called Sgt. Striper and His Band that played in Mirapolis Park in France. Okamoto Amusements currently has the last variants of the band in their amusement park branded as Circus Band, with two other variants being sold off to somewhere. While the specifics are unknown, it is well believed that aside from the animatronics held by Okamoto, all other iterations of Sgt. Striper were thrown away into junkyards.Design

This was a farm themed variant of the band. It's hard to tell from the wear and tear in the images, but it seems like Sgt. Singer wore a brown jacket with a red trim and had an orange beard instead of a white one. He also wore brown gloves and his beard may have been orange instead of white.Beach Bums
