[ventconnor34]

sorry the other comment got cut off im only 12 so i get 10 dallars allowance which is a lot for a kid but nobody really gets ventriloquism

[ventconnor34]

hey dirk great video. how long do you think it takes tim go make his figures. i might get one but itll be in about 1-2 years i know that stinks but i ill just keep saving up. so far i ha e 178 but i just started saving im only 12 so

[ufotruth100]

i like it nice dummy

[dirkthevent]

@ufotruth100 Thanks !

[alexmacgood]

what do does cost?

[StaticAirsoft1]

Hey dirk! i love this video so i viewed it again. can you give me a tip for making the figure look alive. I didn't say but i am 12 years old and i just got the alfaro figure. sometimes i get carried away with jokes and i forget to move the figure around. it would be great if you help out!!!

[harryandjoel566]

i want a pro dummy so bad

[MsChris929]

Where do you find it on the website

[dirkthevent]

@MsChris929 Just GOOGLE Tim Selberg ..

[StaticAirsoft1]

@dirkthevent Nice dirk! just be careful with those controls while doing long acts. your pointer finger can get very tired if you are constantly trying to find ways to move the mouth. I am getting a classic teenage boy figure in the mail from Albert Alfaro. Keep doing what u do!!!

[dirkthevent]

@StaticAirsoft1 Thanks for viewing my video .. And all the best with your new Alfaro figure ! He makes a very nice figure too ! I had a figure with a thumb controlled mouth once .. I didn't like it .. My thumb got too tired .. On the other hand .. my index finger can keep going & going !

[hefinsgirl]

hey i havent seen that figure on selburg website

[dirkthevent]

@hefinsgirl Yes .. It's there . It's actually a Sammy figure on the Selberg site ..

[betoyadriana]

oh men i am surprised y really love it and now if you could said how to build that control it we be awesome

[MrBenny270]

[dirkthevent]

@MrBenny270 Yes .. I dress my figures in them .. They look very cool on them ...

[vittoria743]

[barrerboy2]

Hey Dirk, great figure. You might be interested to see my Humphrey, made in 1950 in England. The controls are much different, I'll post another video showing them. I'm trying to figure out how I can modify the blinks to keep the lids partially lowered in normal position. Regarding conventions, there is another one coming up in October in Boston.

[dirkthevent]

@barrerboy2 Hey .. I liked your clip ! Thanks for the info barrerboy2 ..

Thank for the vid I'm going to try my best at carving a bass wood dummy by myself with coat hangers and bass wood, and some cotton and baby clothes... It might take a few months just for carving but you know I'll use it for years.

[zinkx3]

do you know where i can get a cheap dummy?

[fieryhand]

@zinkx3

Just a cheapie toy $50 one with a pull string, try Ebay. I'm warning you though, you can only move the mouth on those! Not even the neck can be moved! The cheapest with a moving neck is over $100.

[zinkx3]

@fieryhand yea i don't want one with a string they seam a little to hard to use i think am going to save up and get one with moving eyes and eyebrows

[fieryhand]

@zinkx3

You do know the celebrity ones(Mortimer Snerd, Howdy Doody, etc) cost about $365, right? Pro ones like Charlie(This figure) are all over $600. I'm getting a grumpy old man dummy in the mail soon, who cost me $752.

[zinkx3]

@fieryhand wow i'm going to try to get 1 like charlie

[BonJoviFan96]

wow you're pretty good and the way you move the puppet around actually makes him seem alive

[dirkthevent]

I want to thank all of my YouTube viewers for watching this clip. This is my #1 video on the Tube. It has received over 20,100 views! Thanks a million gang ! I love you guys !

@midgetman11215 You mean like.. DRUNK drunk .. ?

[midgetman11215]

@dirkthevent no, (not you, charlie!!!) he just looks that way cause of his eyelids :D

[midgetman11215]

hehehe...I would do anything to get my hands on a good selberg...

well not ANYTHING, but I'd go to a great extent to get one for under $900.

[midgetman11215]

Have you ever tried modifying a goldberger or juro figure into a professional figure?

[dirkthevent]

@midgetman11215 Not personally .. But there are those that do !

[planetgreenteam]

: D wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[terminater272]

Man your good! :D I didn't see your lips move u are a good ventriloquist!

[dirkthevent]

@terminater272 Hey thanks .. Do you think you can tell my characters that .. they don't agree with you .. especially Rocko !

[midgetman11215]

okay... I just bought a ventriloquist figure from kenny croes, and I need to learn how to cut and hem slits in the back of clothes. Do you know how, or can you recommend a place where i can learn how? Please Reply!!! thanks.

[dirkthevent]

@midgetman11215 Hey .. I just cut the slit.. I don't hem them .. never have because it's never been a problem for me .. Sometimes it frays just a little but usually it just curles over and doesn't cause me any trouble. Hope this helps.. Hey guy .. I want to see your new figure ! Are you going to post a clip or ... can you send me a few pics .. ?

[midgetman11215]

@dirkthevent it hasn't been delivered yet... its supposed to come in june or late may... gimme ur email address and i'll send pics when it gets here in teh mail.
