This is the original version of the puppet.
It's controlled by wire rods.
People say they see a resemblance.
I molded a new head out of paper pulp.
The joints, like this knee, are made from bent wire coat hangers.
A crank-like mechanism is used to make the puppet appear to walk.
A view of the inside shows the gutted gooseneck lamp I used for the spine.
The almost-finished puppet, still lacking hair.
A video of the puppet in action!
