I love how this story exploded from totally unverified/uncredited sources that everyone just accepted as truth. After years of enthusiasts saying “don’t believe the Dippin Dots guy”, people were sure willing to take all this as fact just because it showed up on their twitter feed.
I’m taking it all with a very large grain of salt until I hear a credible news report or story. The clothes report seems the most authentic so far, and is just boring enough to perhaps be true. Usually, the truth is pretty mundane and unexciting. I feel if a full animatronic figure had been taken, it would’ve been in the mainstream media by now.
