Great work, Puppetise... I'm eagerly awaiting your full-body how-to! I recently signed on to build a full-body puppet for a short film having no idea how I would tackle it. Any chance you could post pictures of the inside too!? Thanks!

Videos from hanging out on Halloween. Got more puppet silliness to post from the same night, but thought I'd share this... enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4ahI8BXMDQ -Eric

The body is a giant half-oval of foam that I cut a slit across the front for the mouth, and I glued a long piece of foam along the bottom lip to give him an underbite. The upper side of the mouth plate is a piece of hard plastic. There is no lower piece, so it takes two hands to operate the...

Ha, greatness thanks! I've got to credit my fiancé Camille for the tune... she's good with busting out a catchy melody. :) I just helped out with playing instruments and whatnot. Btw, to add to the shameless self promotion, if you're interested in hearing more of her/our music, you can...

Thank you RF! Means a lot... I'm a great admirer of your work. :D -Eric

Hey all, Just completed a music video with some of my puppets. Check it out and let me know what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwyK0W34yFQ Thanks! -Eric

Great review! Brings up a thought… does anyone know the Muppet’s connection to America’s Got Talent? I saw them on with Terry Fator two years ago and it seemed a little more relevant with that act. Seemed a little, oh, forced in tonight. Not that I’m complaining… I love seeing them get...

Wow, amazing work! Where did you get that fur? I was looking through Mendel's stuff and didn't see any two-tone. It looks awesome.

Hey all, Anyone know how to get the fur texture that's on the body of a fraggle? There are great pictures of fraggles being made in the workshop, and in this one it looks like standard fake fur that's half-way through a texturing job (unless I'm seeing it wrong)...

uh oh, you've got me re-thinking my original design. ;) thanks everyone! -Eric

Hi all! My name's Eric and I'm a beginner puppet builder and loooong time lurker on the forum. Thought I'd finally say hello and show some of my puppets I've been working on. Just for fun I recently did a short promo video for a local blogger friend with some not-quite-finished puppets, but...

i think Wiggy's right. Seems like all of the full-body characters have those springy mouths, and when there is obviously a hand operating the mouth one of their arms is just dangling. I watched the Ruth Buzzy episode recently & watched Sweetums go back & forth from working mouth to working...

btw, that wasn't an intentional pun... just poor spelling! :p -e

Re: Good to see you! Thog doesn't exist anymore?? :( What happened to him? I know puppets eventually wear out, but does anyone know what happens to them when they become unusable (I'm almost afraid to ask)? Seams like they could still go on display somewhere. We should all pool our...

EBX @ Northpark mall in Dallas has got 'em. They had one box, and they were opening it when I got there so I got the repaint Zoot & the best of the others. Rock!!!

lol! Guess I'm not THAT bad (yet). Still, these are very tempting. I new that 2nd kidney had a purpose!

It's happening again... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2910049834&category=348 Ken has a new mystery to solve!

ARRG! Here I thought my collection was complete... yes I'm one of those OCD collectors that beaker goofs on. It's at $375, so at this point it would probably be cheaper to just up my medication. ;) -Eric

Hi all! I'm another brand new member wondering if anyone has more info on this, or if anything has changed in the last 4 months... I'm surprised that TMS wasn't released in season box sets (just from seeing full DVD collections of less popular shows), but that's based on absolutely no...
