Ivey's Flashback #2

Welcome episode 2 of Ivey's Flashbacks.

This episode the video was recorded in November 1990 as my dad made a Krang puppet, we called a hall costume. It'll sit on our shoulders as we walk around and the mouth moves.

I was very lucky to grow up with my dad and his artistic talent. Michiganers know my dad from his work on a TV show called "The Ghoul" back in the 1970's & 1980's. The last few years my dad now works on a TV show called "Wolfman Mac's Chriller Drive-in". You can find a little bit of both of these shows here on youtube, and if you have the RTV (Retro Television) network you can watch Wolfman Mac at 10pm on Saturday.

Krang is one of my favorite characters from the original cartoon series. So it was great to have this puppet. You can see when Krang leaves our family in "Cowabunga Corner" #5, as we give this same Krang to Kevin Eastman at the opening party for the new location of the Words & Pictures Museum.

your dad THE RAD ninja ! he is a ninja.. wow

i would love to see more . specially if he could make a shredder head!

[TheRogueMonk]

@TheRogueMonk too bad the colour became too thick and too red. it had already realitiy to it without the colours as well.. he shold have been more light pink so it would do justice to the work.. the thick red colour made him look worse then it really was.. this was great.. it looked so real before the paint

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@TheRogueMonk My dad just ran out of pink paint, I may have cut him talking about that in this video footage but he does bring up that he doesn't have anymore pink paint. Also this was just for a hall costume I could wear around at conventions so there was no money coming back from it so he didn't feel the need to match every detail just right. The color did fade a bit through the years and I really did like this Krang. Didn't know anyone else with a Krang doll *G*

@TheRogueMonk Heh my dad doesn't do other people characters much. He hasn't done any thing TMNT since the early 90's, right now he's working for a horror host TV show, you can find some of that in my favorites list Wolfman Mac. Though he is looking to start a youtube account himself about his art work. Hoping I can help him with that.

Wow, that's awesome!

How long did it take him to complete it?

[TurtleGirlIvey]

@hudemx The original video here is 40 minutes before editing, I'm guessing we're only missing an hour if that. So I'd say this project was only 2 hours. It was a fast thing he was just making for a convention we went to in November 1990, Windy Con.

Like I said on Facebook, your dad should've worked for Playmates.

@D3ADKENNEDY Yes in Blog 5 this is the Krang that was given to Kevin Eastman, before that he was used in our party business where we had it so people could take pictures with him, after we stopped the parties he became a toy in my room till the day we gave him to Kevin. He remained in the Museum till the day it closed. Last I heard Kevin still has him.

[D3ADKENNEDY]

That is sooooooooooooooooooooo cool! You ended up giving Krang to Kevin Eastman, right?

[NATEC0N]
