[marsonic]

I MUST TRY ONE!!...I just bought a red Teletubbie on ebay....YOU DA MAN!!!

[carpeteria]

thanks! it's not a difficult bend, really, and a lot of fun. be sure to check out the version by user xd515 - his is really amazing!

[erikpark]

nice tuba..... LOOOOOLLL

[Silas01]

Nice! But this thing is partially displaying swastikaz, thru out the video.. At 1:27-1:29 you can se it clearly... I've always thought that teletubbies was from hell, and now i have proof.. ahahah.. Anyways can you tell me what teletubbie toy this was? It's crazy sounding!

[carpeteria]

thanks - any swastika-related imagery is totally random, of course. this was from the red teletubby(ie?) toy. they sound really crazy before bending, so bending just makes it that much more insane.

[TyphoidBryan]

LOVE your videos!

With this particular one, though, there's a definite echo. Is your contraption making the echo or is it coming from the room you're in? Either way, it adds a very haunting sound to the toy.

[carpeteria]

thanks! the echo is from an echo processor on my computer, so it's not part of the actual bent box.

the lights are sick.

I'm a bender myself, and wondering where you get the boxes to remount the boards afterwards. I usually just mount the switch/button/knob directly to the toy's frame, but this seems easier to manage.

[carpeteria]

Hi - they're just basic project boxes from Radio Shack - they're cheap and come in a variety of sizes. I drill and paint them before loading in the electronics. Hope this helps!

[Beck436]

Thanks, helps loads. I hate having to put the bent board back together and mount the switches on the frame, it's an unnecessary, difficult process

[carpeteria]

Yeah, it just depends on the toy, really. I usually rehouse toys that are awkward to begin with, like ball-shaped toys, or in this case, a stuffed Teletubbie. Some toys work well with the original casing, though, like Speak & Spell toys or keyboards, etc.

[Beck436]

Yeah, Speak and Spell, keyboards and classic Rolands can be some of the best things to bend. Easy to reassemble and easy to get terrific sounds

[Raunchola]

Yeah! The teletubbies has been ciruit bent! Interesting construction!

[carpeteria]

Thanks! Tell your friends.

[junkyyykkk]

je suis désolé! je voulais pas être méchant! pardon...

[carpeteria]

Pas du tout ! Je n'ai pas pensé ainsi. Merci pour regarder.

[eddie23a]

ha ha, bloody teletubbies, nice one! the display is great. I might have to get me one of them, I can rip out the electonics for bending and give the soft toy to my dog. eh oh indeed!

[junkyyykkk]

c'est quoi cette merde ?

[carpeteria]

c'est merde pliée par circuit. merci!

[SonofCastille]

reminds me of a dr who prop!

[SonofCastille]

nice led display!

[carpeteria]

Thanks. It's part of the actual toy, but the bends make it do all that crazy stuff.

[softfreak]
