Screen used Dinosaurs Prop!

[MarieIsabella]

Hi everyone!

I'm very excited that I found a real muppet used in Jim Henson's Dinosaurs!

He even has screen time!

Here is me with the puppet:

and the puppet by himself:

He is in excellent condition, only his eyes have been replaced.

You can see him in action here:

(he is about 50 seconds into this)

finally I have something real from the creature shop!
He was definately worth selling some of my collectables for!

Thanks so looking everyone

Congrats! So cool to have a real Henson prop!
The skin is foam latex? Does he have mechanics inside?

 

[MarieIsabella]

Thanks! Yes he is made of foam, but his eyes have been replaced, so no animatronics in there.

You have made an animatronic dog, right?

Do you think it would be hard to make animatronic eyes?

Yes and yes. Building animatrnic eyes from scratch isnt easy. But you may get pre-built eyes from an Animatronic specialist.
