Last Fall I had an inquiry about the possibility of making a "Penguin" figure. The idea caught my curiosity.
With Penguin thoughts in mind, I prepared to order one of these large plush penguins (see photo) thinking I could convert it to a true vent figure (hollow body, turning head on head post, lever controlled mouth and maybe even flapping wings). With a degree of enthusiasm I sent this picture to the customer who quickly sent me his "no thanks".
At first it was a bit of a let down, then we both had a good laugh when he explained to me that he was not wanting the stately bird from Antarctica; rather he was looking for the "Penguin" figure from the movie, "Batman"!
That is so funny. LeeDean
ReplyDeleteSo can you make him one from Batman? That sounds like a fun project. Maybe you wil make one of those Pinguins anyway, to see how well it turns out, I did a Plush Pink Puddle and a White Ape for my kids. It was fun and educational. Good Luck, Bill

ReplyDelete" ... he was looking for the 'Penguin' figure from the movie, 'Batman!"
