Bigfoot!

Grandson Jordan, just dropped me a note to tell me he listed one of his Dad's (Kevin Detweiler, seen in picture) new novelty puppets on eBay.  Looks to be a fun one for kid shows.  People have been searching for Bigfoot for years - you can be the person who found him!

You might have seen one of these in your local stores over the past year or so. They are normally a remote controlled creature that tumbles, talks, blinks, and makes noises.  But Kevin emptied this of all mechanics and then rebuilt his inside so you can operate him just like a true ventriloquist figure.

He has a big moving mouth, side to side self-centering eyes and lowering eye brows. All are controlled on a headstick. He stands 16" tall. He can also sit and wave. What a great way to have Big fun..Big surprise..with Big foot!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGFOOT-Ventriloquist-Doll-Figure-NEW-/130716310207
