I love the ConVENTion because we get together
to enjoy and discuss all aspects of ventriloquism with all our
peers. The ConVENTion for me is also where I hope to find some gem
that happens to arrive looking for a new home. ConVENTion 2012 was
no exception.
The first day the dealers room opened I walked into dealers room A
and immediately to my right Brant Gilmer was set up with his
portfolio of wonderful figures that he has created and sitting in a
chair he had one figure for sale. It was his very first figure he
ever created back in 1984 and for me this was the jewel of the
dealers rooms. I love to find figures that are significant in their
history and this fellow certainly fits the bill. He is signed inside
the head and is also signed on the head stick by Brant as his #1
figure. I am happy to now share him with all of you
He stands 42" tall and he has ball and socket neck, slot jaw and
side to side self centering eyes. As per all of Mr. Gilmer's figures
the mechanics are silky smooth and as quiet as a church mouse. He
was stored away so he is in perfect condition.
Brant told me he would send a picture of himself holding this figure
and when I receive it I will share it as well. He had the photo in
his folder but I just could not take it away from him so a duplicate
will be fine. |
