The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I wonder though... It looked like the puppets were made out of felt. Can anyone confirm this? If so, it might not be too rough to make one...? Just a possibility, if anyone has felt-making skills.
I managed to get one (thought I was gonna get a shirt, was pleasantly suprised). It is made out of a light cloth. The head had stuffing to keep it's shape & the hair shaped right but still allow you to to fit your fingers comfortably.
The arms have stuffing at the end to make them longer (the hand portion of the puppet dude) because when you're wearing it your fingers would be too short.
Not interesting in giving my little guy up (infact I think I'll make a little stand for him so he can chill next to my monitor)... was just filling in some info incase anyone wants to try an arts & crafts project as Vthornheart suggested
Aye... what do you think of it s7arbuck? It sounds like we could re-create him for like 5 bucks worth of materials and some elbow grease.
Ooh... nearlysober, what would be *really* helpful would be some close-up pics of the puppet from various angles, so we can try to piece it together. Would that be possible? We'd love you for it!
Yeah. Got two cards at the demo, went to both movies at the fallout movie night, tried trading my pipe cleaner pipboy, and waited in like 3:00 to 3:30 when they said they'd never ever just hand them out.
Went to the omegathon line, and they handed them out to everyone at 5.
So. Fuck. Also, feel bad for enforcers since the fallout guys said they'd hold them for enforcers who had cards, so my roommate who had two puppet cards worked all day and after pax ended and went to to booth at 7pm to findout they were all given away.
Oh, it's okay, don't worry about the inside too much if it looks like it might damage it to do so: I don't know too much about sewing, but I can bet that the inside is probably just the flaps of the seams and such. The details of the outside will be the part that will need to be skillfully reproduced to make it look good.
Aye, it's definitely make-able (thank you for the close-up pics nearlysober! Without this, I wouldn't have been able to see it)... it may take someone with some more sewing skills than I have (particularly things like the eyes, which look more like embroidery with a thick string... I was hoping they were just drawn on). But I may give it a shot if I get a chance!
For those of you desperately wanting one, I think making one would be easy - and they really aren't that great of a quality. I managed to snag one around 5 pm and give it to my friend who was insanely pouty over not having one. After she jumped up and down and spun me in circles, we noticed that the embroidery was fucked up on the eye and the nose was ready to come off.

Hmm, this isn't as cool as it sounds. Why are people paying $130 for this again?
