awesome

Vivi · 04-16-2009, 07:44 AM

indeed a great find...any interesting story behind it's previous owner?
also, that restoration co is unbelievably top notch, do you have plans to have him mounted in any particular pose?

Very cool yet very creepy, it looks like a dead rat in some of the photos.

I would mount that thing in all kinds of poses.

Four hours of sleep...four hours...

Archon, that rocks! Great find!

johnnyblaze · 04-17-2009, 08:03 PM

awesome find! i always wanted to see that and the freshly mutated turtles puppets up close. especially the turtles because of the killer design work they did on them.

Thats crazy! Seriously i need that shiazt lol. Thats rare but the puppet looks like a dead rat that was dipped in 50 gallons of water. but it's pretty sick having that.

Well, it is supposed to represent a rat who's been living in the sewers for a while, so it wouldn't look as if it had come from a pet shop.

Great find, can't wait for more pictures!

Yoshi brought Splinter from Japan...he wasn't a sewer rat until Yoshi died. I'm sure Teng Shin nagged Yoshi to keep the rat clean....

HE'S HERE! New Pictures!

Fair warning. These images are kind of disturbing because he isnt in the best of shape, but looks...pretty lifelike:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...nter%20Puppet/

Obvious damage:

1. He definitely could use a good grooming. The fur is very matted. He litterally looks like hes been drown.

2. Missing paint on just about everything that was painted. Most of the skintone paint is gone. The tail, nose, eyelids, ears, hands, and feet all need to be repainted (provided I decide to get him restored).

3. He's flat. It is quite obvious that our little friend has been laying on his back for quite some time. He probably aught to be stuffed to compensate for all the missing control wires.

4. His nose is coming off. Just some glue would probably fix this.

5. His left ear is coming off. Again, just a little glue work.

6. His left eyelid is crushed in. This would probably need to be resculpted.

Thats all that's really wrong with him. The interesting part about him is that his body was made from wrapping the fur. He is basically a big furry fruit roll-up

The face looks kinda scary...I think you should get him restored, then it would look awesome and not creepy

*Raven* · 04-24-2009, 03:55 PM

Sweet find!

I wonder if its just a puppet? Or are there any mechincal devices inside of it?

*Candy Kappa* · 04-24-2009, 05:18 PM

there will be so many ways of scaring the crap out of people with that puppet

Most of the original control mechs have been removed from the puppet (which is why he is so flat), but if you look in his mouth you can still see a few of the control wires. They dont show well in those pictures though. They are steel cables thinner than a piece of yarn, much like the cables they use for bicycle brakes.

Thats what I thought, still pretty cool. Now I would love to get my hands on the baby mutated turtles, those guys looked kick ass.
