Insane levels of immersion aside... Which will all be broken due to the fact you'll still be enjoying the park along side nerdy mcfatty and uncle Larry and his sister's screaming brats (I'll be playing nerdy mcfatty in my tie dye shirt when I visit)...

The sad thing is these coke bottles won't exist after 8-12 months after the place opens. There'll be normal coke bottles for sale by this time next year when they cut back on immersive entertainment etc and the land falls into line and the honeymoon is over.

That will happen only at DHS due to it's small size.

BTW, this is not the first time Coke as produced this type of bottle, they did a line of Christmas ones starting a little over 10 years ago I believe:

13.5 FL Oz? That's very little soda for an expensive price. Couldn't they make them at least 24oz?

...yep I was corrected. When I posted the first one, I was told that was fact from an insider I trusted.
Second one is from a different inside who I trust more.

I think the Coke bottles are meant to be the casing of a thermal detonator:

The Coke reps didn't come out and say this, but were describing Black Spire as place where things get re-purposed because it's off the beaten path. There will probably be a back story where some local found a bunch of detonator cases and uses those to hold the cold beverages he sells.

Just what we need, a little radiation with our cold beverage...

Joking aside it’s still a style bottle coke has produced for years, nothing new.

Sorry Cap, while you were frozen in time, entertainment became more and more prevalent to the American people looking to escape the outside world. This eventually led to the pop culture phenomenon of Star Wars, a movie series that takes place “in a galaxy far, far away.” It includes dessert planets, space ships, blasters, and what are called thermal detonators. These are the equivalent to what you may’ve known as a hand grenade.

This brings us to present day in which we have one of the largest companies in the entertainment industry building a themed land off the previously mentioned “Star Wars.” Today it was announced that a company called “Coca Cola” would release a customized bottle that thematically fits into the Star Wars universe, yet still works with the current American standards of drink preference and recognition. It isn’t confirmed, but they bare a very similar resemblance to thermal detonators, a weapon used in Star Wars that blows up after a certain amount of time.

Hope that clears it up for you Cap!

Sorry don’t know which timeline of Cap I’m speaking to

What point were you making in your original post? I read it as "Disney shouldn't be making things that look like weapons." It appears I was mistaken?

This is the new A1000 AAs, same ones going to be used for BatB attraction at TDL. They are meant to be the most lifelike AAs to date, with realistic body movement and facial gestures.

Cool, but he looks a little awkward, tech aside. The new auction scene actually has pretty nice animation, partially helped by the fact that the scene is well composed and the figures are in dynamic poses to begin with, including the new Redd animatronic. It goes a long way when a character has a leg up on barrel (Redd), is positioned adjacent to a complementary character (Auctioneer and stouthearted wench), or is holding something in its hand (Redd and Auctioneer). Hondo unfortunately has none of these things, so, much like the human AAs in Frozen Ever After, seems a bit wooden.

Maybe I don’t see what you see, but the movements seem pretty fluid to me, more so than Redd or the Auctioneer. Humans aren’t perfect in their movements, so AA humanoids shouldn’t be either.

Also one thing to note we’re only seeing part of the scene, so it might be longer or different in the actual attraction on opening day.
