just a quick tip... when brent does the sustained notes, you should slightly move the mouth up and down but only about a centimeter for the vibratos or whatever they're called, still great job!
Great video!! Combined two of my favorites... The muppets & Brent Spiner. I'm hopefully getting my whatnot tomorrow. Rather than getting mine from the FAO site (because they're sold out) I'm getting te $60 kit from Toys R Us. Not as cool as getting my own fully customized muppet but I do have the bonus of interchangeable features so I can have different characters in the videos I'll be making with mine.
I tried ordering one myself, and my dad used hi MasterCard. But then it siad his card wa eligible for a Masterard SecureCheck or something and wanted this password. here was an option for if you didn't have one whereit said click here in blue letters. Butwcouldn't clik on it. Wa can be the problem?!
@grapebuy789 That happened with me but with a different type of card, if you try calling the customer service number on their website, they will walk you through it to fix it.
@HaWkBeAtLeSnElSoN I've actually found the solution. The first one I ordered I used my mm's debit card and it went through. I just ordered one for the holidays and my mom's debit card went through again.
I went to the FAO website last night and designed a couple and was disappointed! Did you design yours online, or at the store? There aren't many options online, especially for a female monster. Are there more options at the store.(..which bears an eerie resemblance to Build a Bear Workshop...)?
lol at 2:13-2:19 he sang so hard his glasses almost flew off! lol I can't decide weather to give mine a trench coat or a karate uniform...desisions desisions
The mouthplate would be considered "stiff". It seems to be a very thin plastic, and the fabric that covers it on the inside is not attached to it, so getting any kind of articulation out of it would be difficult. For what they are, they're really great little puppets!
I really wish that the online whatnot maker comes back. I guess it was taken gown after toys r u bought fao. I really want one of these. Also it would be nice if they came out with more close that you could dress the puppet in. Kudos to the puppeteer good talent thanks for the vid.
No, these are a new product from FAO Schwarz. Look at the info during the instrumental break for the web address. You can mix and match from many different components to create the look you want.
The song "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" was originally recorded, I believe, by Judy Garland in 1938. This particular recording is from Brent Spiner's wonderful album "Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back" (a reference both to Frank Sinatra and his character Lt. Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation)
