    Elmo Fur

    All I can say is try it, I've haven't had that happen to me but the first time when I didn't leave it in long enough and let it air dry. Also, he is looking at using Mongolian which is a different type of fur, so I'm not really sure what it will do...

    Elmo Fur

    I just throw it in scalding hot water for about 5-6 minutes and then put it in the dryer. The thing with Mongolian furs is that they are very thin, so try a test piece in the water and dryer first to see if it falls out or not....and good luck with the build!

    Mouth plates

    I have a pic where he looks much smaller than that, but even so, it would still stay pretty stiff with half inch foam under it while still able to bend with force. I'm in no way saying that's how he is made, only that its possible...

    Mouth plates

    I was surprised to see that Bert originally had a flexible mouthplate, I know they use wood for Elmo, I would assume they do the same for Ernie and Count as well... Scooter's mouth is about the size of an adult hand, so I could see, as Bert, him having a flexible mouthplate that would not be...

    Hm, I guess there were only 3, Buck Privates, In The Navy, and Hold That Ghost. I thought they were at the end of A&C meet the Mummy as well, in the club, but I may be getting that confused with the end of Hold that Ghost...
