The Count







Here's another character for the Sesame Street line: The Count!
This figure of the Count is based off of his appearance in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, hence the reason for the top hat.
Since the Count doesn't usually wear a hat, I thought that it would be a good idea to make the hat removable. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a peg at the bottom of the hat that fits into a hole in the top of the figure's head.
The Count was one of the more complex figures to date, mainly because of his nose and ears. They were made as separate parts from the head that were later glued in place. It was hard to keep from losing that nose as I was carving it to shape with the rotary tool!
In the bottom picture, you can see my whole Sesame Street collection to date. Ten so far, but there will be more to come!
