Before Pidgey, Squirtle was my absolute favorite Pokemon, and it's still my favorite starter. I've avoided building this robot for almost four years because I wanted to get it right.
Perfection is the enemy of good, so I finally decided to make it happen. I still need to address the seam lines on the head from the casting, but I'm very happy with how he turned out.
My quest to build animatronic Pokémon continues with Rattata!
It took about a month and a half from start to finish.
I’ve spent the last three years building multiple Pokémon animatronics, and even though right now I’m in a creative slump. I’ve got some projects lined up that are gonna blow y’all’s mind.
If anyone is into Pokemon, there is this cool PokeSwap box just inside the door of the BidLlama building near Back Forty. There’s a bunch of card binder pages and trinkets for people to trade and swap. It’s a really fun idea. The main box is accessible during BidLlama business hours, but there is a 24/7 box on a post in the parking lot.
