Hey! It looks like you were using an iteration of the eye blink mechanism that I had posted a while back and that ended up on PuppetBuilding! Great to see the video! Nice job, very well done. Let me know what you think about it? Do you mind if I post your video on my blog to show people the mech in action?

Great video!

Thank you very much! My next two puppets I was hoping to create with an eye mechanism, now I've got something to work with. Thanks!

I actually have an oscar puppet i got off ebay. No not the vault of puppets guy. It was not exact replica but close enough for me. The eyebrow was not a moveable one. BUT now due to this video I have altered the brow into a moving mech!

I need to replace the eyebrow with new fur but man it is so cool !. I will post a video of it soon.

The hard part was adjusting it to a pre made puppet. Also oscars eyes are not ping pong so it was a little bit harder there too. But its gonna pay off in the end.
