The skin is handpainted fabric. The fabric is treated with a light stiffening agent, and the artist does touchups of the detailing once a year. Hope that helps! Thanks for asking!

The costumes looks like the walking with dinosaurs puppets.

Saw a dinosaur encounter with my kids this week and was totally blown away!! The t rex puppetry was incredible. I think I enjoyed it more than the kids-- you must see this! The video captured the experience so well.

...they need to find a way to hide the persons legs better to create a more realistic look...good job though :)
