Hmm.. been a while since i posted here now... I am still trying to figure out how to make the jaw movable for my fullbody muppet costume... I don't really fancy that mechanical way you mention. There gotta be other ways, no?

Any other fabric sites that I can use, perhaps?

I see. Are you aiming to this one: http://www.fabricempire.com/mongolian-faux-fur-turquoise.aspx

I found the fur...I think! It must be this one: http://www.distinctivefabric.com/zoomcolor.php?id=EXTRALONGFUR1 - The turquiose one. The length and color seems to be the closest one to match the blue color above...

THAT'S the page i was looking for, yes! But now the big question is: WHICH out of those would be the length of the Cookie Monster fur as shown in the above picture, you reckon?

Just wondering.. I tried doing a reasearch on Cookie Monster fur, but I could not find anything on these forums, but i do remember there was once a thread about Cookie Monster's fur and what fabric it'd be... Anyone who can link me to that thread or just tell me what kind of fabric would be best...

Whut? You mean that their mouths are radio controlled...? Does not make any sense really. I think a chin strap would work out nicely, yes. Sounds a really good idea to make the head out from a bicycle helmet, but the question is HOW i can do THAT... hmm...

I've been looking over several videos on youtube and scouting for pictures for advice, but apparently there's not a proper answer for this yet... I am basically trying to make a FULLBODY muppet character's HEAD. In my case it's Cookie Monster's HEAD, WITH a movable jaw. So yeah, I am basically...

Sorry to sound a meanie back at ya, buuut.. I am not sure that you understand me completely... What I am looking for, is NOT eyes for a puppet, but for a fullbody costume. And yes, I've done a search through the forum without finding anything that can help me much, hence why I put up this...

UPDATE: I got some nice 100mm white xmas decorative balls, but they were too small! ANYONE got any idea where I could get like customized 150-200mm WHITE balls? Either stuffed or plastic? I've even found buttons to use for pupils, but it's not easy to attach them to the ball as the ball is...

Hmm... Now I am just missing the pupils and I am basically good to go to make new eyes to my costume. larz, you mentioned hobby shops with radio controlled cars/planes... Unfortunately, there are no such shops here. There are hobby shops, but they don't got pupil-materials. What material...

I see. But what exactly am I looking for, really..? Got any pictures?

Sorry for making another thread about this, but I couldn't find the old thread that was similar to this... Anyway, I am looking for a blue'ish fur, exactly like Cookie Monster's fur, for my full body sized costume. What sort of fabric is the closest to Cookie Monster's fur/fabric? I am...

Amazingly enough, I found a shop that had 100mm customized christmas ornaments (went frenzy and bought them all!) that I can use as eyes for my costume! SO, what I would need now: 1: PUPILS! What can I use for pupils? They must be oval shaped. I guess that cutting pupils out of a pingpong...

So...hmm...wait what? What backing and how do I get the...thing...inside the eye? Sorry for my bad understanding in english, but I am not sure what you mean.. care to elaborate yourself a bit more so I understand?
