I WON!!!


YIPPEEEEE!!!!

I have been debating exactly how to start. I was considering making a small hand held figure ... on the other hand I was considering getting one of the "Puppett and Props" Freds.

Well, last night I stumbled across an ad on e-bay for a Danny O'Day vent doll. The doll was in rough shape but the head was still good. I made my bid and won. My intent is to try a Kenny Croes styled figure.

While some might consider Kenny's a retro fit, he takes the head of a vent doll and reworks the head with mechanisms and a product called "Magicsculpt." This transforms the mass produced face into something new and original. I really like what he has done and have enjoyed his blog. This will give me a chance to try my hand at the mechanics and majicsculpt. I'm hoping to email him to get a few questions answered that his blog doesn't cover. He seems reall nice and open. But I would understand if he doesn't want to share all of his secrets.

Was telling Little Joe about my then possible purchase. I told him you rip off the head. His reply made my day. He said , "No wonder dummies are so angry ... if you not sticking your hand up into them you ... you're ripping their heads off.

Here's to a ripping good time.
