How cool is that??? So yea, one day I was thinking about what crazy bird custom I could make, and somehow the thought of Big Bird as one of the characters came about. But he couldn't be happy of course. So I just inverted the eyelids to make him look angry. I sculpted the entire head in clay, and gave him an articulated beak, plus a separation of the neck and head. I then worked out the color scheme, which if you look, you will see it is Sesame Street themed! But the best part? I had the factory make me about 8 official copies, painting up existing figures with factory paint, and making copies of the head in resin. He even comes with a set of wings of course! Take a look and let me know what you all think! I am very proud of this piece, and I kept wanting to expand more on this........... only time will tell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So fun!
