A quick test showing the new eye mechanism for the Ralphie Puppet. Inside his head is a string with a little ring on it that when pulled with the puppeteer's middle finger, causes the eyelids to move down. There is a spring return which makes the eyes go back to wide open when the ring is relaxed. The same mech will be used in the other version of the puppet, wired a little differently. His eyes will start in the down position and when the ring is pulled, his eyes witll go wide open. Otherwise the finshed puppets will be pretty much identical (other than costumes).
