Stanley is a Selberg How does it work...with Ventriloquist Dirk Golden

[mcfaboy10]

dirk, do you think you could do a video with you talking to one of your selbergs without the body on him to see how much you have to move your fingers to operate him? because i'm thinking of getting one (and yes, i know the prices) and i want to see if it's tough to operate one. thanks.(:

[RockhopperCP100]

Hey dirk, where do you get all the clothes for your figures?

[dirkthevent]

@RockhopperCP100  Mostly at Kohls .. when they have a sale .. right off thr rack ..

[RockhopperCP100]

@dirkthevent thanx man!

[dirkthevent]

@RockhopperCP100 Your welcome ..  Merry Christmas !

[MyGunsGold]

Hey, Dirk, im a 16 year old sophomore in highschool, and was curious am i too old to start learn the art of ventriloquism? Most photos i see of famous ventriloquists are about 4-6 years old when they start. - Cameron

[dirkthevent]

@MyGunsGold Cameron .. Your never to Old to learn ventriloquism .. I started when I was 11 years old .. I know people that started learning at age 45 !  Never to late to start .. as long as you enjoy doing it !

[magicventriloquist1]

One more question,if you go to conVENTion,can you perchase a figure there?

[dirkthevent]

@magicventriloquist1 Hey .. They sell all kinds of Stuff at the conVENTion... Great place to buy a soft puppet or Hard Figure !

[magicventriloquist1]

I'm ordering a dummy from ebay from throwthings a danny oday super duluxe upgrade,hey i have a question ,are there any figures you can get besides throwthings and dan payes around $100-200?

[bjcarterz1793]

[philipnotaro]

You are a great Vent!

[dirkthevent]

@philipnotaro Thank you for viewing my clip !

[3627williams]

have you ever met jeff dunham

[dirkthevent]

@3627williams Yes ! He attends the Ventriloquist ConVENTion in Kentucky every July .. I've talked with him there !

[fieryhand]

@dirkthevent

Lucky!

Fieryhand = ***FOREVER ALONE*** XD

[3627williams]

i got a jack figure to he looks just like stanley

[dirkthevent]

@3627williams Really .. Just klike him ???

[holloway5846]

git a nother

[gamacichi]

what happened to charlie?

[ztpunk123]

Its Amazing how stanley looks so much like a real kid he is a really cool character :)

[dirkthevent]

@ztpunk123 Thanks .. He's a Selberg .. That's why I like selberg figures..

[lliiaamm0099]

stanley is very cool i think his best feature is his upper lip sneer that is my favourite feature for ventriloquist figures

[dirkthevent]

@lliiaamm0099 Yes .. It is a nice feature .. Thanks for the complement ..

[SuperGuitarist10]

@kahlil77RAY i think you left out a few digits, you mean $2,500 right???

[sunnigirl2327]

stanley is awsome i like him he is cool i want one like him i have one named mortimer snerd

[dirkthevent]

@sunnigirl2327  Thank you Sunnigirl Hope your New Year is Terrific !

[sunnigirl2327]

stanley is awsome i like hi he is cool i want one like him i have on named mortimer snerd

[bpproductions195]

@kahlil77RAY Do you realize these are professional figures? These are not your typical puppets you can buy in the $20-30 price range. There is NO WAY Dirk will sell one for $25. If somebody sold a Selberg, Axtell, MAT or any brand of figure for that amount of money they obviously have no idea how valuable it is.

[dirkthevent]

@kahlil77RAY R U Kidding ?

[cjpjrocks]

what can i do if i cant afford one

[dirkthevent]

@cjpjrocks Hey  .. start saving your money .... NOW !

[cjpjrocks]

i cant afford a selberg i only have a basic mortimer snerd i want a selberg bad but i dont have enough

[dirkthevent]

@cjpjrocks I had a Mortimer once to ...

[cjpjrocks]

i cant afford a stelberg figure it stinks the only one i got is a basic mortimer snerd

[stewiedg97]

what happend to charlie dirk?

[ijones8]

hey. You never explained what happened to charlie.? Are these figures made of viynl?

[dirkthevent]

@ijones8 I sold Charley at the 2009 Ventriloquist ConVENTion ! No .. Not made of viynl .. Selberg made mine from an artifical wood type material called 'Like Wood'

[amachineeducation]

@dirkthevent can i buy a selberg from the middle east

[SuperGuitarist10]

can I get a selberg figure even though I live in California???

[dirkthevent]

@SuperGuitarist10 Sure .. Go to the Selberg website .. Just Google it !

[SuperGuitarist10]

@dirkthevent  thanks

[wetawted23]

Discomboobilating I love this guy

[dirkthevent]

@wetawted23 Back at ya .. Thanks ..

[dirkthevent]

@Zach77043 Your welcome Zach .. But it is possible for you to get a Selberg .. Even if it takes you 10 years.. Just keep saving ! OK..

[jchovanec1]

@dirkthevent im hoping to save up for a selberg

[TVWriterGuy]

Actually, that's a very good "P."

[dirkthevent]

@TVWriterGuy  Hey .. Thanks for the nice complement !

[psdrum]

hey, hes a very cool figure, can you tell me the size in cms of the whole figure? thanks

[midgetman11215]

what size is stanley's body? how long are his legs?

[dirkthevent]

@midgetman11215 Stanley is a child size 3. Shoe size is Child 7 .

[midgetman11215]

which do you think has better deals... selberg or alfaro?

[midgetman11215]

are you familiar with the imaginarium galleries?

[dirkthevent]

@midgetman11215  Absolutely !!!

[midgetman11215]

@dirkthevent what are your thoughts on "alexander"? or the "fats" models?

[dirkthevent]

@midgetman11215 Alfaro makes terrific figures ! It's a matter of your personal preference !

[yankovic1234]

it must be super expensive

[dirkthevent]

@yankovic1234 Not to bad .. Check out prices on Tim Selbergs website ..

[midgetman11215]

@dirkthevent No offense Dirk, but you have to take who the person is into account before you tell them that. To an adult, a few thousand dollars is like... "heh... I'll pay for it." But to a kid, (like me) a few thousand is like "WHAT THE ______"

[wellingsj]

TISSED OFF lol

[jchovanec1]

my camera is not working right so i need to get a new oneh

[jchovanec1]
