Freddie: Thanks! I'd love to see what Flounder's done with a puffer. I'm also curious about Swanky's LED puffer project, I'm wondering if it's tiny enough to go inside one of these.

This one comes in a larger size as well, about as big as your fist.

For the glow in this tiny one I found a light up gemstone ring at the dollar store, the ones with the cheesy oversized diamond you twist to turn on. These are good because they emit a glow all the way around, instead of a focused beam. All the excess plastic was dremeled away(makes quite the mess!) so that it will fit inside his belly. A small slit is made in his underside, big enough to slip the little light inside and out. The necklace was added in the Hukilau Hurricane room by putting a little hole in his top, slipping both ends of the necklace through then tying a knot on the inside(which is easy with his slit belly) Ta-Da! If you like, I can take him apart and take a couple pictures.

FezApe, thanks so much! I'm glad you like him! I sketched this guy on a piece of paper, then scanned him into Illustrator and traced him vector style.
