I have spent basically the entire weekend on getting Jimmy's figures ready. I have one left to finish. As I stated in one of my earlier posts, Jimmy uses his vents to intimidate and make the other wrestlers lose their train of thought, giving his wrestler the advantage. A really great twist to managing a wrestler. Jimmy is the first to use ventriloquist figures in this type of work. He has made his own nitch for the pro wrestling circuit.
Here are some of the finished figures. I have made 3 sets of wigs and eyebrowsfor the old man. a new wig and sharks teeth, moles and ears for the evil looking guy and a 2 sets of wigs and eyebrows for the crazy looking one. I also gave him his tongue. I think he came out pretty well!
I also had a chance to finish up my version of Slappy II from night of the living dummy II. He is on ebay this week. His face was hand sculpted and is as close to the real one as you can get. The only difference being his hair is real and not molded like the one in the movie.
I told Jimmy I was going to take a sebatical after working on his figures. Darlene has a "honey-do" list a mile long and spring is here which means.... Thats right.... yard work!@#+?/@!!!!
Have a great week and remember, I answer any and all questions regarding ventriloquism or figure making. If I can't answer your question, I will direct you to one of the professional people in this business that can. as always my email address is gepettosworkshop@yahoo.com
