yeah i got an old sole , people always say that , what i meant is it was a simpler time creativley , the work shop would get a request or a drawing, and they would build it , and it went to the studio, thier were a lot less hands involved , now a days you have to deal with everyone, the...

ok, i dont think u got quite what i was saying , the original was not based on someones design or concept , he was a basic monster ,(and i believe Caroly W. was the one who built him, but im not sure) he went thru several puppeteers before Kevin finally figured a angle to bring the...

not to burts the bubble or anything here, but , i know the people who built the original, Elmo was simply a background red monster , Basicly the shop was told we want a Blue one ,A orange one, and a Red one, so thats what they did, (ahh things were so much easier in the 70's, and Early 80's)

look thru this forum, this topic come up alot , and has been discussed adnausium, tyhe main thing to know is that basic over the counter dyes will not give you the desired results, goole ALJO dye, they sell what you need, its great stuff

they are just some cheap Ministry typr puppets , most likey from a mass produced lot , (although who knows what sort of market thier was for that stuff when the video was made, im sure you can find something like that online somewhere, try sillypuppets.com, or a simlilar website for mass...
