Full Mask Cookie Monster Sporran

Man, you could do that in WalMart on the way to the register after capturing the beast! My question is will the gut pile work as bait for Animal? Also, have Teddy Ruxpins gone the way of the Dodo bird, or are they still out there? I have an idea...those things were creepy enough but as a sporran complete with animitronics, well, you get the idea.

Farlander, Great work! I can't wait to see some pix of your new sporran being worn (hopefully not to a children's event)

Whidbey78, If you can make an animatronic Teddy Ruxpin... well THAT would be a serious feat, I don't care if they're now protected.

Considering that all I need are the face and a few simple controls, most of which I can scavenge from prior robotics projects, it might not be as hard to make as it will be to find the critter. I saw one at a thrift store while looking for a suit jacket to modify a few months ago, but it was pretty well beat up. It may be too valuable as a collectable in good condition to skin for a project. I'll research it.

Plus, once the servos, controller and batteries are installed there won't be any room left for storage unless I use most of the head. And a talking, blinking, eye moving sporran would be really really creepy. I try not to scare small children except on Halloween.

Michael, if you take another class with Elsie, you HAVE to wear that. I can just hear her.....

There is nothing that can make Teddy Ruxpin be not creepy

How about Baby Secrets?

Or Little Lost Baby?

A very close friend, I haven't heard from in about twenty years, used to call me, "Rux,"
in reference to Ruxpin.

This is epic.

I just saw Toy Story 3 tonight (In IMAX 3D) and there is a very creepy toy in it called Big Baby, not to mention a great scene with a scary clown.

My wife wants to take our son to it. He's 6 months old, so he doesn't care if it's Toy Story 3, Predators, or A-Team. A-Team got my vote...waited three decades for that movie.

Maybe I'll go see it just for that though. I kinda want to build a "creepy" sporran. Maybe a severed head sporran with black kilt for Halloween(which is as big as Christmas in this house).
