News Buzzy’s been stolen?

[Dragonman]

Was this alt costume Buzzy ever used?
It doesn't match his cartoon appearance at all.

That was his original look but I believe it was only tested as the 1989 footage on YouTube shows the version we’re familiar with and all I can find is this one picture

I believe that was a mock up.

Similar to the mysterious hooded bride from Disneyland’s HM I guess. I was able to find that the full image was featured on a WDW Explorer game from 1998

WDW Explorer.. Boy that's a blast from the past. That was around the time of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Initial reports appear to be wrong.

OCSO just released its incident report saying clothing was stolen off Buzzy between Aug. 1 and Aug. 8. Not the entire animatronic.

Who would have guessed

So it sounds like someone stole his clothing, Disney said "Oh Shizzel" and then hastily yanked the AA for hopefully safe keeping.

Have a feeling ThatDreamFinderGuy won't be frequenting this thread anymore, now that all of his rumormongering turned out to be bogus.

Well that makes the whole “smuggling it out of Epcot with no one noticing” thing more realistically believable

Can't blame a young kid for wanting to get Twitter followers by allowing himself to be used by someone pushing an agenda though, right?

I’m afraid not.

 

[HMFan999]

I’m afraid not.

Oh bother... Are you saying there's a lot more to this story?

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I’m afraid not.

Two-step theft...??

This is all so weird.

 

[RSoxNo1]

How? BDD is one guy and this is clearly a multi person job that would take some time and planning, a vehicle backstage, and the appearance of having a legit reason to be there.

If he is to be believed, Disney questioned him on it.

 

[Disney Maddux]

So now with the new report, someone stole his clothing in August (very weird), and now last month someone stole him entirely.

The plot thickens.

 

[HMFan999]

This is just speculation... but what if Disney decided he wasn't worth saving with his clothes missing...

 

[MisterPenguin]

When WDW was supposedly testing Buzzy's animatronics earlier this year, was it a clothed Buzzy or a naked Buzzy? And if it was a naked Buzzy, what exactly were they testing him for?!!

If WDW cared that much about appropriate clothing, 80% of the guests would be turned away at the gate.

A new after-hours event?

What kind of monster would steal a poor robot boy's hands?
