Doc Puppet

Doc,

That was totally wicked...My son was sitting in my lap and was going crazy over it....Nice find Dude!!!!

Sincerely,


Spoon!

I loved it! 

It looks very familiar to the Show that is traveling around with life size dinosaurs.

Thanks for showing us......

That was so cool.  Great find.  I bet that was one expensive puppet.  but totally worth it for a museum.

I know talk about a crowd gatherer!

Looks like one of the dinosaurs from 'Walking with Dinosaurs - Live'.  Thanks for sharing!!

Hi
It is a pretty amazing puppet
The company that makes it is an Australian company called Erth
check out their website at www.erth.com.au
or type it in to you tube
they have made other pretty amazing dinosaur body puppets amongst other stuff

Walking with Dinosaurs is animatronic
the Trex is a full body puppet controlled by one person

My grandson loves that dinosaur.I am going to try to take him to see Walking With the Dinosaurs.he's 8 and wants to come and make puppes with Grandma.I bought a sewing machine for him to use.I don't want him on my computerized machine.

Erth do inflatable puppets, and (as far as I'm aware) have not worked on Walking with Dinosaurs. The man in charge of WWD is Philip Millar, and the company who designed and made them is the Creature Technology Co.

(I met Philip recently in Perth - despite the fact that he's from Melbourne! - and he gave me a business card from Creature Tech)

While I love Erth's stuff, credit where credit is due.

... Evidently, no media company released the video, because I can find no info about it on news sites, just random blogs, etc. (I did find the 'news' on an Aussie news site, but their idea of writing an article is to copy and paste the video into a two word sentence on the event)

Well the erth guys made this video because if you look on their gallery the puppet from the video is there.
