House of Pancakes probably comes to mind for him first when thinking of HOP.Picturing Tom shoving women and children out of the way just to be able to say 'First!' at HoP (of all places) is just too funny to me.

Glad this show has returned and the quick turnaround to get it ready. Just watched a video and the Trump AA looks a million times better than the 2017-2021 face. Biden is now next to Andrew Jackson, where Trump was 2021-2025. They set the precedent with Biden not giving a speech, so even though they could’ve easily reused Trump’s 1st term speech, I’m not surprised he’s just reciting the Oath of Office. As I’ve said many times before in various HoP threads, I’d be onboard to have a new/additional speech for Washington or Lincoln than a speech for whoever the current president is. And I know this will never happen, but I’d love to see an additional, former president have a speaking role. Maybe someone *slightly* more recent like FDR or JFK? Anyway, I’m glad it’s back.

I think we’re underestimating Tom’s depth. His connection to the HoP is symbolic—he relates to the founding fathers: larger than life, heavily powdered, and rarely seen standing.

Not as good as 2.0, which is expected with 3.0 having the mechanical components needed for face movements/speaking, but so much better than 1.0. Night and day difference.

For a second I thought I got lost in the test track thread.

I personally think 3.0 looks the best of all versions.

Maybe Teddy Roosevelt and have him talk about the National Parks to tie it into Piston Peak? (although that is kind of covered in American Adventure)

That's a good idea. Tie it in with a new attraction right outside the front door.

None of these figures are their latest AA tech, right?

Just reskinned figures.
Very surprised they didn't put Obama next to Biden. Otherwise the show I saw was pretty respectful. Only a noise when Benjamin Harrison was mentioned, and the audience applauded at the end.
No idea if they changed the gestures from the 1st time Trump spoke, but they were very accurate. And he looked WAY better than previously, almost like him this time.

The arrangement of the presidents has always been interesting to me. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it.

Just a visual approach? What looks good to the eye?

No. The most “complex” movement is Lincoln and Washington standing up out of a chair, and it’s at a distance from the audience. No need to waste the latest AA tech on that.
Sorry, that was me! Gotta hoot n’ holler for my 2 Harrison cousins. I’ll do better next time!
