If you've got a few thousand to spare and have been dying to get your hands on a sophisticated animatronic puppets, well, you're in luck!

Tim Carroll - a former Muppet and Creature Shop builder - has put a animatronic Teddy Bear built for a TV show that never got off the ground up on ebay.

Did you catch it off ebay or the PofA board?

I love how Tim suggests on ebay that it would be ideal for a teacher....possibly the most expensive (and fragile!) teacher's assistant ever.

Also apparently the only one regulated by the FCC. :stick_out_tongue:

Ebay, I check it out once in a while to see if any new talent pops up. :wink:


I know, I caught that comment about a teacher and chuckled. I'm wondering what teacher in the world has a puppeteer hiding in the closet waiting to operate this thing.
