I'm still here and am glad to see this forum's still going. Not as much funds to play with lately, but I still would like to get some small stuff to go with my lonely MR helmet on display. Hope to see and read more great stuff on this forum in the future. Don't know how much I can add to it.

Thanks for the information on the stop motion puppet, I never had the pleasure of seeing them. I hate the Dark Horse Statue. I refuse to buy it..It could have been an amazing statue, but they ruined it... Howard Studios did an amazing job on it, the only problem is that it is impossible to have it stand up without the original stand, so I have it laying in a pillowed case. When I purchase the prototype a few months ago, it didnt include the stand...The statue was displayed at a couple...

The stop-motion puppet is the articulated scale puppet used for some of the flying effects created by ILM. There was also a stop-motion puppet of Malcolm in his clown gear and of course the static scale version of the flying Lucky Lindy statue.

The statue is set to be release in 3rd quarter 2009, but I expect it to be delayed since Electric Tiki Items are usually delayed by a few months. So lookk for it in early 2010.

looks cool, but a couple of things are a little wonky- the guys neck is friggen long, helmet looks a tad small, and the fin looks too tall at the front, what's up with all the fabric folds in the jacket, and the top of the bib looks weird considering that center button is not supposed to attach to the jacket, that's where the zipper is. What size waist is that guy supposed to have, sheesh! From that angle the pack looks to be a bit small and the tips of the rockets need to be painted....
