That's very cool work for such a small time investment!
At that speed, with 90 days left, you can make up to 60 more awesome props!!

Warrant's Props: Shiatzu Toe Grabber

Put this together in a day and a half. The extra half day was only because I had to come in for dinner. All the wood is from 1 pallet. I used the standard build for the arm and head. There is a dowel in the head side, that goes into the skull which allows some freedom of movement. I plan on giving it an internal light and motion sensor. The bicep has a length of pool noodle on it to give it a little girth.
Shiatzu Toe Grabber
I figured I needed a lightweight hand so the arm would not slow down, so I took a flower shaped pool noodle, carved off some pieces, hot glued the segments, and put together a hand. I dipped it in grey primer to give it a coating, and it's still drying.

GREAT GREAT GREAT work Warrant!
That thing has really long arms, be careful of the weight tho, as I have had problems in the past with too much weight on a Shiatzu. (broke the pvc after a while).
Your movement is awesome!
The thrift stores that I hit usually have them for about $7-$10. Sometimes $5, I wish they were FREE!!! LOL
