They have them for sale already. You can check online for it. It's about $40-$60 and is an extreme likeness of what is on the show. They have regular and battle-worn Angel.

It ain't no puppet!

It's not a puppet, it's just a doll. I preordered it when the first one came out, excited to get as it said "Angel Puppet Replica". No where did it say it wasn't really a puppet. Huge dissapointment! I actually emailed Diamond (the manufacturer) about it, and they never got back to me. I guess you'd call that quality customer service! Sarcasim!

I have all 3 of them, I like them, but they do not resemble the real one from teh show, that's why I want to make one that looks like the one(s) from the show, can you guys help me?

 

[Andrewface]

anyone?

take one of the ones you have and disasemble it, then retor design a patterne as a puppet, enlarge it since the puppet is bigger than the doll,

its made like most TV puppets, foam and fleece,

how about without destroying the ones I have, I want to make one from all NEW materials, thanks for the suggestion though

 

[ravagefrackle]

i suppose it all depends on your skill level?, have you built a puppet before?, if not i suggest you look up puppet building here on the forum, youll need to learn about pattern making, sculpting , etc.etc.

good luck,

i supose you could take a pattern off the doll, by draping it in Muslin(a cheap material used for making patterns),

I have not built a puppet befire, but my brother has and he is very good, he works for a scene design place for his job and he is extremeley artistic, he has made a few puppets before and is still working on some, so I guess my skill level will be high, if borrowed from my brother.

Thanks for the help ravagefrackle

I think my main question now would be, what is the skin and hair made from and what type of "mold" would I use for the puppet's abilities (mouth move, eyebrows move up and down)?

hes a basic "Muppet" stlye puppet so look at the puppet building threads here,

as for mech (blinks and brows and stuff), youll have to figure that out , there are many ways to do it, but i do not build mechs ,
