Cheers
Billy

Billy let Robin know you want to be on the list at order@axtell.com She's keeping track!

Awesome! Thanks guys... I'm really excited about these characters.

Okay, here's the first photo of the Hang-On Monster puppet..

Bob Rumba bought this first prototype and is doing a mad scientist theme show with it. He'll send pictures and video soon! I love making these and seeing what you vents do with them...it's the most exciting part of the process for me.

Ax

Steve,

When will the monkey be ready?

Wanlu

The monkey will be ready in about 2 weeks. We'll be putting photos up soon!

Ax

Here's the World's oldest Magician... first time as a puppet.

Darn, Steve, that looks just like me first thing in a morning!

Dave

Incredable work as always steve.

Billy

Ax, you truly are a Jim Henson of our generation!

Were you contacted about "Where the Wild Things Are," or any other motion pictures we might know?

Just curious,
Tod

Tod... thanks so much. Actually yes. I was contacted about "Where the Wild Things Are" just last night...my daughter wants to go see it with me. : )

I'm sure you know of my past involvement with Madagascar, VeggieTales, etc. I've also had puppets in movies with Tom Selleck, Michael J. Fox, etc. I was recently hoping to get the Beaver gig with Mel Gibson, but didn't.

There's some of my custom stuff here you can see ...

With your monster's arm slapping and then return, am I correct in thinking the hang-on paws are magnetic, Ax?

Yes Tod...there are rare earth magnets in the hands. You can have all kinds of props in your pockets that are metal or have metal inside them and he can pull them out of your pocket with his hand.

There are wires in the legs and it will also be optional (for walk arounds) to have magnets in the feet, so you can put these cool little fabric bags with metal washers sewn in .. (inside your clothes) to make the feet stay where you want them.

Crazy character.. rod arm...magnetic hands....wired legs.....dangling uvula and optional spiked collar... WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT??!
