I saw my first 3-stage today!

[MMBBfan327]

Now for most of you that's old news, but for me the closest one was bout 2 hours away, so I couldn't just go at the spur of the moment.

Madison, WI - very small store, but simply amazing none the less. Indiana Jowls and Crocodile Chuckee still proudly hung up by cashier and restrooms. And now for the show...

Being a first time, I had no idea what to expect. I could obviosuly tell a few movements were shot, and Chuck was missing an ear, and I THINK Jasper's jaw was gone, but it may have just been shut. Either way, it was definatley an awesome trip! There's also some perks to visiting a store in your district, such as extra-friendly castmembers, awesome conversations, and 30 free tokens from an amazing manager (thanks, David!)

"and Chuck was missing an ear"

WHO let Mike Tyson in the building

sometimes I think that Jaspers mouth (on most of the three stages I've seen) appears to not have any moving mouth,sometimes it's hard to tell because it would flop up and down sometimes then it wouldn't

I'd crindge at seeing another 3-stage, there too horrifying to look at.:-O

Sadly, I recently heard the the ol' Springfield MA 3-stage is REALLY bad, like characters are collapsing and none are really moving at all. I hear the store itself is sucking too. What is it with these older former Showbiz locations going deep south.:|

[CEC3066]

that sounds exactly like what happened in Fullerton

How was Munch looking? His head was really messed up when I was there. Also when I was there in August, Jasper's mouth would occasionally stay shut when talking...so I bet you that's still the situation. As for Chuck, his ear was beginning to fall apart...how is his mask? Does he still have that crack in it? They really need to get him a new one.
I agree though. While this is a smaller store(average Showbiz size), it is a very nice one to visit. Still no phase 4 here either!

Munch was one of the best working...he didn't have that genuine "Fatz Rock" goin' on, but he was good. His right eye was stuck in one position, though. Chuck's mask is all right, kinda looks like it's on slightly different than it should. A castmember was telling me they recently had to fix his mouth because it was all messed up, and his mouth was just fine. I agree, VERY nice store to visit!!! I love the older SPP outline they still have to this day...

Here's a pic I took of the stage, and then me with Jasper:

Cool, and nice video you made!

Cool, and nice video you made!

Thanks, man! And here's 2 more from Madison for the time being...me and Pasqually, and the former SPP sign...

I love how Pasqually has brown eyes on this stage...it just looks right to me! It also looks like they did indeed replace Chuck's mask and fix up Munch as well! When I was there in August, there was a huge crack going from Chuck'e eye all the way to his nose, and it was very obvious something was wrong with his mouth. I'm glad they have a tech who actually cares!
I always figured if I ever moved back to Wisconsin, I'd either work in Madison or West Allis.

Good call...those are, honestly, 2 of the best stores out here.

LOVE YOUR CEC/MMBB PHOTOS MMBB327! That's so cool that a three stage Pasqually actually has brown eye's instead of the usual bright blue eye coloring. And it looks like the LOVELY MISS HELEN HENNY is holding a microphone?!:D

[MMBBfan327]

Yeah, that reminds me...she's holding a mic in her right hand AND chuck's old magic wand in her left!

[chuckrules]

Awesome!:D
