I'm thinking the body has a hunched back- long and skinny trenchcoat- black. Maybe a rough top hat like the mayor wears in Nightmare Before Chistmas :-)
I purchase mine from Home Hardware here in Canada. It'll run you $19.99. I tried Home Depot months ago and the sales person said they don't carry it anymore. If you can, order the spray form; the other "dipping" seems to dry out fast. If you can't I would recommend dipping as much as you can...
I once heard David Goelz was always self conscience about his singing capabilities. I find I always have a better singing voice when I sing in a characters voice though :-)
I have so many DVD sets I'm still crawling through- all Muppet stuff too! Whew! Love the show Steve! The Sam Plenty episode... you have to take it tongue and cheek I guess- I laughed when I noticed Allan Trautman as the professor LOL We shall see how that show goes...reminds me of the movie...
Trigger

Project Puppet
If you are starting I would highly recommend Project Puppet- their patterns are well worth the money, and it is truely a great starting point in learning how a puppet is built. Go for the cheaper pattern first :)
Another really good starting point is the Swazzle Puppet...
I purchased both and learned lots from them- however, I found the second one to be more informative and "indepth". Overall I give both a 10 outta 10 for content. I know this doesn't help since you have already got them butfor thos4e out there thinking about it- I recommend it.
I received the following email, and said I'd post it here. Please be aware that I don't know these ppl...I'm just trying to help them find a puppeteer.

To start a hole...
Use the tip of your glue gun, or a wood burner- it'll melt right through and can become a starting hole to cut through the ping pong ball...just a thought :-)
Ha Ha! I love this thread! I wish I had an endless supply of white Sharpies- I hate trying to trace patterns on black with black Sharpies. Whenever I see white Sharpies I buy them all!
You could also use a makeup brush and dark powered blush- but make certain you try the technique on scarp first. I apply the makeup to the backside of my hand first to get the majority of the power off first- then apply it on lightly. Like I said practice :-)
