To DC:  Wow - I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your home and belongings, including ventriloquist dummy, in a fire. I can't imagine the heartache and headache experienced by such a tragedy! Yes, I do still build some 40" figures and thank you for thinking of me. But to try to create a figure in a likeness of you at age 4-5 (from a photo) would require building what I refer to as a custom "portrait" figure and that is not a service I provide. Nor do I offer some of the various animations you list. Have you checked with Tim Selberg or Tim Cowles?
