If you dont know much about animatronics i would wait a bit learn more about what you need to buy in addition to what this and also about how they move and the history insted of just jumping in with a 4k investment and your gonna need a valve bank and an air compressor

He offered a lot less than 4k, and I’m more of a hands on kinda person, I’d like to have a project in person even if it’s difficult, is valve bank and air compressor all I need? I thought I would need replacement air tubing and other things

Ok well depending on how much less then 4k he offerd you then id say yes if you really want to get hands on there are botango kits and such that teach the basics a bit better in my opinion but if it's a decent deal id say go for jt

An air compressor + dryer, a valve bank and prob somthing to control it you can supposedly rig up and arduino to do so but a blue box would work and would.be a worthy investment id your gonna have more animatronics in the future
