Today it is my pleasure to introduce
you to Mr Crabbe. This is a truly one of a kind figure which was
made and used by our good friend Bob Isaacson. I did say made by Bob
but there were other hands involved. The head casting with
unfinished face was done by John Arvites , the mechanics were done
by Alan Semok and then the finish carving of this great face ,the
painting, wigging and body was done by Mr Isaacson.
The cool thing about this figure is he was done at least 2 years
before Bill Nelson in partnership with Chuck Jackson created Mr
Horowitz. Just goes to show you that nothing is new.
This figure stands 40" tall has slot jaw, side to side self
centering eyes and lowering eyebrows. His hands are very heavy cast
hands and his lower legs are carved wood.
He is a wonderful example of the talent that Bob has in creating and
bringing to life ventriloquist figures.
