@@TheRadicalZone-S1m I like that! lol, I may actually be in the works of starting a business though 🤫

@collegetoycollector yay! Can't wait!

@@S.J.C._Entertainment Yup! Just been busy finishing my last semester. There’s more to come, stay tuned!

Houndog was pretty on par with his last version on Dave too.

@@Sea_of_Waves thank you, this means a lot. My goal is to make my animatronics as professional as possible, to hopefully turn it into something one day. I have put a ton of work into this figure alone, and I’m happy to finally get to start showing it again. Like you already know from the previous video, so much of the work was all drawing, design, spreadsheets and CAD based for the last few months, so there was nothing to show. Now everything is starting to come together!

@@LeperchaunStoryMofo awesome, thanks for sticking around!

@@GoofyGoober747 of course

@@Sammey12136 finishing my engineering degree, this is the last thing on my agenda.

@@playdisplay1468 Thank you, that means a lot to hear. This project was partially what got me noticed by someone at Mattel in the first place… a former Disney imagineer. And now I am a part of what I’d consider the most “engineering intensive” brand. I hope to do a lot of great things, both in and out of work. Thanks for watching!

@collegetoycollector I genuinely hope that you are the next generation. That changes action figures.

@ I’m not on the action figures team as of now, but you never know what the future holds!

@@GoofyGoober747 with the design I have in mind, there should eventually be 15. That may change.

@ nice!!

depends on the motor strength and the weight of the load but usually like a small servo (ex: 9g) would be good for lightweight plastic or cardboard but it depends in most cases

@@ethanfishell1930 a lot of factors: scale, material, precision of movements, application. A life size animatronic character will have movements that need the strength of a linear actuator to work effectively. Servos are good for small movements that need precision, but they are not as strong as linear force.

@@ThomasAndTheTankRailway.I.N.C thank you!

@ No problem, my friend!

@@GoofyGoober747 thank you, yes that is my name

@@Nightcore_master333 no, why do you ask?

@@collegetoycollector well most of your videos I be seeing dook and I thought he was the only animatronic you got

@ I don’t plan to show any others for awhile, at least not directly

@@collegetoycollector ok that’s fine👍

@@pants989 Thanks! I’m due for a collection update at some point. I’ve added a bit more since this video lol

@@collegetoycollector hope you got the amazing new NE Merman he's so fantastic

There are machine shops that you can have memberships to, you can look up ones around your area. You typically need to be an adult and go through training to be certified to use certain machines. They tend to be very strict on safety as well, which makes sense.

@@collegetoycollector I'm in my late 20s, so that's no problem. When you say training, are we talking a couple months of training or a couple years?

@ It’ll probably be only a few weeks at maximum. I get all my machine shop training through my engineering education, so I’m not entirely sure how it is outside, but it’s definitely not years. Machines are very dangerous if you do not know how to use them safely, so that’s why you are required to have some form of certification to use them. Hope this helps! I can talk more about it in a future video if that’s of interest.

@@collegetoycollector yeah, that would be great. I am a professional puppeteer and puppet builder and I am trying to eventually build animatronic versions of my original puppet characters.

@ that’s really neat! Do you work independently or with a group? I plan to show more of my work when I get around to it. What things would you be interested in me to specifically talk about?

@@jasonrollins980 Lol, he’s a great figure! I’ve swapped out his jaw for the claw before. I sometimes watch reviews of things I like too.

@@carino.animatronics Thank you for watching all the way through! I should hopefully have another update soon. What’d you think of the new format, good for having on in the background right?

@@collegetoycollector i really liked it somehow i think it helped me to concentrate more on my bot haha

@@carino.animatronics Sweet! It’ll be like working on bots together virtually lol

@@romeprolol687 he’s doing good! he’s dressed in his fall fit

@@GoofyGoober747 not sure if I’m a fan of that

Oh…. Sorry 😅

@@GoofyGoober747 thanks 🤣

@@Sea_of_Waves thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I put a lot of time into designing things because I want them to be the best they can be within my capabilities. A lot of the true work goes unnoticed b/c it’s all measuring and making spreadsheets and models on the computer. Just about every part and mechanism I design gets redesigned over-and-over, until it’s “perfect”. I look forward to Atlas being finished, I want to show people what he can do! Who knows what else I’ll end up experimenting with in the future 😊

@@collegetoycollector Who is Atlas, as a character? Do you have drawings of Atlas? Is he/she an original character?

@ Atlas is one of my own characters, a part of a band called “Mesozoic Mayhem”. As time continues (and as I get more space), I plan to have this entire band a reality in my house, or if I partner with someone who runs a business. Atlas is the character I am building right now. The band is punk-rock, and they are catered towards an adult audience, but anybody can enjoy them. I have concept sketches of every character, both their appearance and mechanism designs. I need to make fully finished paintings of them at some point though, so that their appearance is fully fleshed out.

@@cec_oregon good question, I most likely will end up redesigning the head to account for the eyes being slightly more recessed. They still will be facing forward, but not leveled like you mentioned.

@@ThomasAndTheTankRailway.I.N.C I’m here to keep building animatronics XD

@@collegetoycollector Same here, lol.

@@landon.stefanski Jordan hates it, that’s why I mentioned it lol. You gotta here that constantly in the machine shop, so good thing he’s not an engineer.

@@playdisplay1468 he definitely introduced me to toy lines I didn’t know about previously!
