Thanks for the great info!
I know it's been a while, but just out of curiosity, how was the nose made? sculpted foam and fleece covering? stuffed fleece?

The nose is a styrofoam egg, covered in orange fleece stretched and glued over it, with a few cuts in it to get rid of wrinkles and make it lay flat. Pretty much the exact same concept as the eyes.

So cool! Are you going to field test him anywhere? You should sit in the back seat of a car and roll down the window at a drivethru, and order with beaker! X)

Wow! People are still interested in Beaker, huh? That's cool. I'm glad you all like him so much!

TML: The tubes are oatmeal cans that are about 4 inches in diameter and just about 13 inches around.

Walter: I don't perform much with my replicas, but Beaker has been out and about at school some. College students always seem to love Beaker!

Nicely done! Looks like you made yours pretty much the same way I did mine, judging by the "skull" picture. He looks really fantastic!
