Fozzie Bear isn't the only one who likes to say "Wocka wocka!" :wink:

It's Pac-Man! Why? Why not! I thought he'd make a fun puppet, mainly because Pac-Man pretty much already looks like a puppet anyway. He's pretty darn simple, made from an altered version of this pattern:

And here's the pics:

Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like this has been done much before. And I'm surprised! Pac-Man makes for a very fun little puppet to have around and he's easy to make!

He looks fantastic! :big_grin: You have a point about Pac-Man already looking like a puppet. His likeness translates well.

Oh, this is fantastic! That's a really great idea.

I'm wondering if there's a Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man planned for the future? :big_grin: A Ghost Monster (like Clyde or Blinky) might be a nice touch as well.

Nice job! With their voracious appetites it seems he and Cookie Monster would get on well.

That's a beautiful puppet Toodles Team. Do you have anything planned for him now that you've made him?

Thanks everyone! Glad you all like him!

Phillip: Not sure that I'll do any other Pac-People, but I was considering doing a ghost or something at some point, just for fun.

Gonzo's Hobbit: I don't have any plans for Pac-Man, actually. I just thought he'd be fun to make given that, as mentioned, he seemed like he'd convert well to puppet form. Pac-Man doesn't even really talk most of the time anyway!
