[muppetspuppets]

Just his eyes moving makes it seem as if his whole face and expression are moving too. Neat!

[darklab5]

@TheNewRedbull345 I Know ,Theres no shortage of these guys in the UK ,a constant supply infact,!!

He's really great! what else have you been able to do with them, it would be fun to see how they wound up, your so lucky to have two! I have one and my friend just got one as well, ours will have to stay manual though! I have a web page for mine as I just made him new hair, have a look if you like and let me know if you have any pics or info about him that I could put in an album on there :¬) .theamazingparlanchinbros.weeb­ly. com I originally had one as a child.

@caberet Hiya ,i had a look at the site that you have ,its cool ,i have loads of pictures of my 2 ,insides etc and the work involved working on the inside of the head to make it work,more work than people will realise i think, Id be happy to send you some photos when i have time to sift through them,Youll have to send me your email or something ....Thanks

[caberet]

@darklab5 Hi again! I'm so fascinated by these guys! you've done such a brilliant job! I've sent a friend request and will send you my email via that :¬) Did you manage to get the neck done yet or is that still a work in progress? Love to see your pics when you get a chance, & of course any further vids you make about their progress! .

[darklab5]

@caberet Not done the neck yet ,though its actually laid out in my workshop with all the gear i need to do it...I Just get sidetracked by other stuff(often) ;)

[caberet]

@darklab5 cant wait to see when you do! .... my friend has now bought two of them off ebay now! If theres a shortage of them I'm going to blame him! I'm desperate to find a 'peter patter' though, he was even more manic looking ( I had the black haired one) was more cheaply made but by same maker, Cremeal. I think your really clever anyway, you can freak a lot of people out with an anamatronic type Parlanchin ;|)

[MultiMaki777]

@caberet that, I say to me?

[marveltommi]

WOW ROBOT! COMPLIMENTS

[darklab5]

@marveltommi Cheers  man ,well appreciated!!! ;)

[und3rth3bridg3]

Did you make this? You are awesome man!

[darklab5]

@und3rth3bridg3 thanks ,,i made all the mechanism to move the eyes etc but set it in an existing ventriloquist dummy ,it made it difficult due to the eye holes already existing(needed to be very precise with the build of the mechanism.....

[maurerpowerpetty]

Wow. You are amazingly talented.

[darklab5]

@maurerpowerpetty Thanks very much ,thats really nice of you .....I had a quick look at your channel ,looks like your a vent ,do you make your own figures? ...im not a vent by the way ,i just enjoy building things

[kendodd4life]

does the puppets head move when u oporate it or just the mouth and and the eyes

[darklab5]

@kendodd4life Hi There ,,at the moment just the eyes and mouth move ,but at some point in the nearish future ill be mechanising the neck also ,i have enough stuff to do it without going shopping fortunately...I plan to use it for a video for some music eventually so i really need it to be as mobile as possible.

[JaMEFMEB]

At 0:44 you flick the switch and it looks STRAIGHT into the camera!! hahahaa, nice one! :)

(and creepy)

[darklab5]

@JaMEFMEB Ahhhh Yes ,A happy accident (at least looking straight into the cam was anyway)  ....my girlfriend wont let me keep it in the bedroom oddly enough :(
