Well, family circumstances are forcing me to sell some of my projects, etc. to help pay bills.
I figured I'd offer this for sale here, first- then over at the hauntforum list after a couple of days.
For sale is a do-it-yourself ventriloquist dummy head. The head is basically a blank that you can add epoxy material to in order to create whatever look you want. Elf, Pinocchio, old man, whatever. Personally I thought it would be cool as an animated figure with moving mouth.
Kit includes a composite head, moving jaw, axle hardware for the jaw, eyes already cut out, and back of the head already cut out to gain access to adding eyes and mouth.
The nice thing is that the mouth already has two "small cups" inside the head to hold the axle in the perfect position without all the trial and error one usually has. Incredible find for me, but alas- now I have to part with it before even starting building.
Here are the parts included. A pop can was added to see how large it is.

Here's the head 30 seconds later assembled. The back is held on with duck tape for the photo. The jaw has the axle inserted and dropped into place.

This cost me $80 new. I'm only asking $70. The only time this was ever out of the box was so I could photograph it to sell to you.
