              Need? not per se, it's fantastic as is...
              Enhance? yea, in my opinion it would really tie to the Gorn character with the multi-colored tunic collar.

                      Like the Rushton or Gund ones in the 50's/60's with the rubber face and soft body? That would be epic.

                        I guess i'll try selling them.
                        Maybe someone (else) could make a Puppet Fan film with them.

                        A stuffed doll would be pretty big.
                        I have a pair of store bought rubber Yoda gloves I considered painting to make a Muppet , Ernie style

                        It wouldnt be hard to put a tounge in them to animate with the users middle finger.

                        Also with the mouth cut out it could be a small dogs Halloween costume!

                        Yeah, I think I'm done.I have to finish up a few other loose projects.
                        Maybe if someone wants to buy one they can keep working on it. I'd like that because it puts Trekkies to work!

                          Some of the finest work I have ever seen, Dave. I am in awe of those lizard heads! Do you have your own creature workshop? How does one go about working with foams, latex, and molding? I would assume that there are thousands of dollars worth of equipment involved; incredible!

                          That looks exactly like the Gorn. I bet you could sell those for a nice profit at science fiction conventions. Really great work.

                              Thank you! Art just ends up taking over whereever I live. I went to school to learn a lot of details about processes but I credit being an Aurora model fan most.

                              Tools arent really expensive but materials can be.

                                Star Trek original series GORN fan made handpuppet from Arena | eBay

                                Well I put one of the puppets out in the 'bay.

                                I was really only wondering if i should do that collar or not. Thanks for the ideas for a "Gorn Baby" I really enjoy making stuffed animals anyway. Maybe I'll do one. I could try to keep the puppet feature intact if I wanted a REAL challange!
                                Green fur or lizard print material?
