Info on ALF furs needed.

[muppetperson]

Would anybody know a place where I can get the two types of fur from to recreate ALF the Alien?(The long fur for most of his body and the short swirly fur for his hands) Also, how would you describle it color and fur wise? Would it be synthetic, mohair or something else? And the color-would you call it ginger, honey, strawberry blonde, or whatever? I bought an ALF poser from Argentina but I am not impressed with the quality, so am going to get it rebuilt.

The short nap fur is probaby like Muppets in that it is just the same long shag trimmed back with scissors. I do this all the time to help shape and define faces, hands and feet.

You can ask Kanja at Chensational Blog. He built a Chewbacca in July and the fur look similar to that.
Check out Chewie here!

Well ALF's official color is "Burnt Sienna" but i had a word and ALF says Eric can have some real genuine ALF fur for 50 bucks and a copy of the Paris Hilton workout calendar. Makes no difference to him, the swedish girl who comes in to massage and vacuum him once a week usually throws the stuff out. Oh and ALF doesn't like being called Strawberry Blonde, or ginger, but leggy brunnettes can call him honey!
