Nice jaw movement!
But that dosnt look like my old Boris units.
looks like the skull from gemmy.
can you tell me what is was designed to do ?
where you got him?

He is a talking Boris from Big Lots. He does different voices depending on the setting of vairous switches on the side of the head...using a microphone. I clipped the mic wires, as per the hack, and soldered a 1/8 plug on to plug into the MP3

The instructions say made in China Item no. 15225 distributed by 2007 Take One Phoenix

Which hack did you use? Can you post the link the hack. Thanks!

The hack is just cutting the mic wire and soldering a 1/8 plug on. Then you just plug into the sound source and he talks away.

What did you use for the eyes?

The eyes are 1/2 of ping pong balls trimmed to fit with irises from one of the links on line (glued on) with decoupage (sp).

Yet another projest to add to my list...

Don't cut the speaker wire to isolate the it. I did and the jaw movement was reduced quite a bit. It's also hard to re-solder.

I picked up my Talking trough Boris today from Big Lots. The sound is really distorted even on the regular setting. I'm wondering if the speaker is blown or do they all sound pretty lame?
