At Disneyland's version of Winnie the Pooh Melvin, Max & Buff versions from the Mile Long Bar were hidden after the Dream Sequence for a nod to what was "formally" there The Country Bear Jamboree..

I'm so glad you identified them correctly. A lot of people get it wrong and think that's the original heads up there!

I know this picture is in Disneyland but it brings to mind something.At Disneyland's version of Winnie the Pooh Melvin, Max & Buff versions from the Mile Long Bar were hidden after the Dream Sequence for a nod to what was "formally" there The Country Bear Jamboree..
Am I completely insane or am I remembering something from Magic Kingdom incorrectly. Didn't Max, Buff, and Melvin used to have their backsides coming out of the other side of the exit wall? Two years ago I tried to show some people the backsides as we left, but the wall didn't have them and appeared to be shifted cutting off any room behind Melvin
Can someone confirm I remember correctly or that I am insane?
TIA

This is true, according to a couple of WED / MAPO folks I have had encounters with.
It is the buffalo figures that were originally made for use within the proposed 'Western River Expedition' Attraction.
When the plans to build Thunder Mesa at WDW fell to the wayside, the buffalo were repurposed and ended up being placed within the desert scene in Epcot's 'Living With The Land' boat tour.

My bad. In that case, it's obvious they're using the same "Robot Williams" facial mold.

Let's do this for Spaceship Earth! I'm sure some of you have what I'm missing!
Caveman Scene:
Addition of an additional animatronic in the last refurb - could be Kaiko from the video chat scene?
Egypt:
The vizier is also Taft
Phoenicians:
Phoenician Sea Captain is said to also be the Store Owner in the Great Depression scene in American Adventure
Greece:
The two new young dudes are from the old poetry/Renaissance scene
Rome:
Roman Senator is said to also be the Teddy Roosevelt
Centurion is said to also be Zachary Taylor
Islamic Scholars:
We lost one in the latest refurb. Did he end up someplace else like the Renaissance (also sitting criss cross)
We also lost the dude standing in the library, where did he go? Mainframe computer room?
The sitting scholar is said to also be Franklin Pierce from the Hall of Presidents
Monks:
The monk that is awake and transcribing is said to also be the John Adams
Rumor also has it that the sleeping monk in the monastary is the same figure as Woodrow Wilson
Printing Press:
The composer at the letter tray leaves to go to a computer scene (boy in his room - now removed)
The printer who is pushing/pulling the tray is said to also be the Andrew Jackson
Johannes Gutenberg is said to also be the James Buchanan
The pressman is said to also be the Andrew Carnegie from American Adventure
Renaissance:
We got someone new here - was he the scholar that was removed from the Islamic Scene?
The lute player is said to also be the Dwight D. Eisenhower/Dad from Carousel of Progress
Female musician is the daughter from the Carousel of Progress
Steam Press:
Pressman is said to also be the Banjo Player from the Depression scene in American Adventure. But I think there was a previous pressman that looked different than the one we have now.
Telegraph:
Telegraph Operator is said to also be the Mathew Brady in American Adventure
The Telegraph Reporter is said to also be the Store Owner in American Adventure.
Cinema:
Woman in the ticket booth - also the daughter from Carousel of Progress?

The woman in the sound booth from the old version was moved to the Mainframe computer scene.
TV:
We got the dude lying down from the old computer video chat scene
Computers ('82-'94):
Boy in his room - removed, did he end up anywhere?
Woman in her office (from the NOC) - she was removed, did she end up anywhere?
Dude left over from the NOC - did he become the dude in the garage?
Computers ('94-'07):
Dude lying down went to the TV scene.
Keiko possibly went to the Caveman scene
Computers (current):
Mainframe woman - from radio scene
Mainframe man - was he the dude that was standing in the library?
Dude in the garage - was he the guy that used to be sitting at the NOC?
Corrections are welcome!
