The fabric of history

This is a Sam and Friends-related question. Does anyone know exactly what Sam and Yorick were made of? And were Sam's arms controlled by arm wires, or did they just flop around freely?

Their heads were likely paper mache'.

Arms? Dunno.

Wow. Man, that must have been some durable-as-heck paper mache.

I don't think he'd have used plaster for that as plaster would be too heavy.

Paper mache is hard and durable if enough layers exist. I have a buddy who does paper mache sculptures and they last a long time!
