The figure has been testing in front of the public, lately, I guess. The movement is great... look at how the mouth moves, and the eyes. Awesome! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETQTKMyqw7s" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =ETQTKMyqw7s</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhpv_CerF-c" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =dhpv_CerF-c</a>

I'll add him to my list with clowns and Sun Wheel of Death.
