You can't see it from this photo, but my Stanley conversion figure has a pierced ear. It was a special request from his new partner in South Africa. (The posting title is Afrikaans for "He will wear an earring").

The Afrikaans title caught my eye. I spent 2 years in South Africa working with youth programs. Part of what we did was show teachers how to make soft puppets, but I got many questions about making hard figures. I'm planning to go back sometime and possibly make paper mache figures with some basic animations. Now that I have my Uncle Earl completed (with your generous help) , I understand the process better and could help make figures more available to people who can't afford to even think about a nice hard figure, and who would use it for very noble purposes in teaching love and peace.

Great looking figure Kenny. There is a lot of character in that face, you can see the mischief in his eye.
