thanks, I try and give all my puppets different character - i find it helps if they have a certain look.

JB, you rock!

Ding is friggin awesome man! I loved the video, did you plan for someone to laugh, or was that an improv? Either way, great stuff.

Can't wait to see the other 11 in your Signature Series!

:smile:

I don't remember seeing the video either, it is a great puppet. Judging by Dingbat's voice I would guess you can do a pretty good Elmo.

That is a great video! I didnt notice it until now. If only I had some spare money I would buy that puppet.

once again thanks for your kind words. I did consider not giving him any fingers ravagefrackle but then i figured he is a "cartoon version" of a bat not an anatomically correct one.. so I went with hands :smile: . But believe me I put it all into consideration. I haven't done any TV work here in Australia, I am still working on my porfolio of puppets.. but I am thinking of contacing local TV stations with a demo reel soonish - once I get back from NYC
