Has anybody ever made a Thog Replica?..
Or does anybody know how Thog was operated?..
Was he like a giant cable and or rod puppet?..
and How will I go around making one,
or something similar.

From my understanding a performer went inside Thog and moved his arms, legs, and body and then his face was controlled by a remote.

I think it's a unknown mystery, really..
Because at times,
Only his left arm moves,
and His face moves..
and the Right arm just dangles..
Does anybody know officially? O_O..

A performer is definitely inside Thog...I'll guarantee you that 100% officially. I would imagine that the reason the right arm dangles could be because the performer needs to do something else with his/her right hand, maybe even move his mouth or something? Or maybe they're using their right hand to use a remote to control his face.

But you can quote me on the fact that a performer is inside Thog.

You can't post pics straight from your files on to here. You'll have to use some sort of third party to upload it there, then put it here.
