[Luke]

It only cost me $20. QUITE worth it. I am looking for another in town because I'd like to make the double drumset look for the display!

Here's a picture of my Animal with his drumset I linked to earlier in the threads. We're going to do some work on the drumset to make an airbrushed logo on the front.

By the way, I boiled the plastic part holding up the cymbal (sp?) so I could bend it more toward him and it would look more natural.

AMAZING! I bet you have had him posed, chewing on the cymbell ! That would look ace.....are you gonna post a pic of the logo when its done?

Animal Comparison Photo

Okay, this is the third and last forum spot I'll post this photo link. The comparison shot mocked up for the review last night was hastily prepared and the poser hadn't softened yet at the time the picture was taken. Also the picture was not taken to be used for the comparison shot, but I mocked it up to hold its place until I could get home and take this new photo. Only took me 20 minutes to pose, shoot and create this mock up shot. There are actually areas where this poser looks better than the classic poser photograph. Here's the picture that will be swapped out today.

After all my complaining (and there's lots of it) about the tragic MR photos, I couldn't let the current mock up I made for the article stand without this alternative. He he.

As for the wrist and ankle restraints, it's rare for the puppet to wear them as they inhibit limb movement for the puppeteer. I honestly can't remember them in a specific project at the moment.

Yessir, the complete drum with logo will be seen when we get around to it.

You are right...He never had ankle or wrist restraints in any of the movies or as far as I know, the Muppet Show. That was a feature that was added to the toys and t-shirt images over the years. ...Got my Animal replacement this week. He is as he should be. I am very pleased.

I Just Got The Collar

The Halloween online store item I ordered (thanks for those who informed me of it) just arrived and has been painted. The paint is a little tacky and sticky on the black rubber. The velcro attachment doesn't look all that great so I chopped off the ends and created a hole to poke one of the spikes through to make it look more latch-like in the back. No, this isn't as signature-looking as I'd like, but it will work nicely the paint ever completely dries! I used one of those soft metalic silver paint markers. The color matches and fills the area great, but it still seems gummy. I might have to coat it in something.

He just keeps looking better!

I ordered me one also, I think when I get mine, I am going to do a bit of modifying on it. I have something in mind, I am going to see if it works.

Hey Antony!

Those are great pictures. In the ones where his lids are lowered, did you pin them that way, or did you just brush his eyebrows forward to give the impression that his eyes were more closed?
