They are Easter "egg" soccer balls from Walmart. I wiped off the printed soccer ball markings with acetone. Probably just the sphere part of a plastic egg would work too.

AND I will oil his squeaky jaw before I ship, if requested! The dummy's, not my son's...

Yeah, it's a "low budget" film for sure, but here is my son playing around with the puppets...

A couple of custom originals, ready to perform! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Profession-Puppet-Custom-Made-/121098266223?pt=Pretend_Play_Preschool_US&hash=item1c3204e66f http://www.ebay.com/itm/Professional-Puppet-Custom-Made-/121098257231?pt=Pretend_Play_Preschool_US&hash=item1c3204c34f

Thanks Casey. One day left! http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120975477403#ht_500wt_1414

Thanks! I went ahead and relisted, although I could not find the "best offer" option. Maybe I don't qualify for that option since I seldom sell. I left off the BUY IT NOW, maybe the $600 scared some folks off! Oh well, it's easy to list items. Thanks for the encouragement...

So $500 wasn't the right price. Can I ask the more experienced sellers for their opinions, please?

Up for bid on ebay! These guys are just begging to be in your next performance! - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120955983757

Great work! Did you base these off of any patterns or was it all from scratch? Nice illustrations, too.

Look carefully at the Project Puppet patterns, then start turning their basic head-shapes around. What I mean by that is if you turned the Sock Puppet pattern vertical (so the mouth is at the top), you'd have the shape of your characters' crown. Then if you use the Sock Pattern again in normal...

My latest build for Julio, based on his drawings:

Here's my latest. It's based on a drawing by my client, Frog Puppeteer right here on the forums! He's made of anti-pill fleece and adapted from the Project Puppet Simple Series Roly Pattern. I made a foam shell for the body to help support the tail. His eyes are plastic baseball "Easter Eggs"...

Another great video Tom. Your series should be listed in the Project Puppet plans!

Thanks Gonzo... I went ahead and posted it one more time. Maybe the Survivor finale last night will have some folks looking for Survivor stuff on ebay! Oh, and I used the puppet to interview me, since the real Jeff Probst wouldn't answer my calls... ; )

I can usually figure out how stuff was done, and this type or performance is way different than your usual puppet stuff, so CGI and post production could be the answer… I was sent this clip and instantly loved the puppet. I guess I've lived under a rock as this is the first time I'd heard...

Relisted at a lower starting price.

Last day to bid, if you're interested!

Well, he didn't help me get an audition, but he was fun to make. Here's my hand and rod puppet made to resemble Survivor's host Jeff Probst up for auction: Jeff Probst Puppet He's be great for any Survivor parody puppet shows! Happy bidding.

In the video, I show inserting a tube into the hand for the arm rod AFTER the fleece is sewn on - not the easiest way to to do it! I messed up and sewed too far on the fleece. It's far easier to insert the tube into the foam palm shape and glue it in place - THEN sew the fleece around it. Learn...
