Rankin-Bass Rudolph puppets - re-creations?

Well..Im taking a break from them. Might redo her ears.

Seem big to me. But they match my reference with the exception of the Interior leather the real one seams to have...I couldnt get leather to work, so..I went with felt.
 
They are NOT easy to make.
Also, with few exceptions, I no longer do runs.
Ebay? Maybe someday. I would NOT do one for less than 1500.
If you wanted a rough idea.

Hi Frank,

Look forward to seeing your next replicas.

Here in Atlanta, the Center for Puppetry Arts began a live Rudolph puppetry stage production last month, which runs through January 2, 2011. It's an amazing show, based on the Rankin Bass classic with all the songs and cast in puppet form. Here's a behind-the-scenes photo.

See Center for Puppetry Arts_Home for more info.

Also, did Kevin sell the original Rudolph and Santa puppets? It looked like there is a new owner based on the recent "Chasing Rudolph" episode of SyFy Channel's Hollywood Treasure show.

With my love of Christmas, I can't believe I had never seen this thread. I'm so impressed with the stuff you guys made! Great replicas! Wish I had those skills!
 
Hopefully they've fixed the botched editing for the restored reprise of "A couple of misfits". In recent airings, the scene has the original song but still uses the visuals of "Fame and Fortune." VERY strange.

Yes he did.

In fact the new owner wrote me on FACEBOOK after seeing my repro.
