So this is Terry the T-Rex one of the largest suits in my collection of animals. I’ve had him a few years but only just got around to fixing him up and wearing him. He was another rescue basket case costume which I came across by way of a person I knew that managed a council’s waste disposal site. He had been abandoned there and would have met his end if I had not recovered him.
When I went to collect him, he was sat out in the open on a pallet looking all sad and worse for wear. Instantly I knew I had buggered up he was huge and filled the entire back of my car. Once I stuffed him in, I set off home with my rather grotty foul smelling dinosaur looking out the back window at following motorists. Heck knows what they all thought of been eyed up by a T-Rex.
I named him project “the BRB” and I set to work on him the night I got him but soon lost interest as the more I dismantled him the more problems I found with him. He was extremely dirty every part of him had an issue some big some small. So, I just chucked him in my spare room and tried to forget about him. The years passed until now when I pulled him out and finally finished him.
He’s a custom-made T-rex suit build by Rainbow productions UK some time in the 2000s. So, when he was new, he must have cost a small fortune. Am not entirely sure what he was originally used for but it was not for energetic dancing in as he weighs a ton. But from the limited information I have on him it is rumored that he was used to promote the Nintendo DS game “Dinosaur King” as Terry the T-Rex. The only evidence I have of such use are a couple of scanned photos from somebody I got chatting with on twitter where they are posing with my T-Rex at a game’s tournament in London.
He is built like a tank his outer skin comprises of heavy fleece fabric air brushed with a stenciled pattern detail. Up is back there’s a heavy duty zipper but this is not for wearer entry it is there only to allow for the removal of the inner suit which gives him his bulk. This is a thick sponge foam body pod covered with airtex netting with rings internal for support. There are several cells filled with foam lumps on the hips and the tail is also stuffed with foam lumps. Entry into the suit is actually between the legs by way of a Velcro opening very much like barney the dinosaur. So, to put him on you have to stick him over your head and drop him over yourself before having a helper do up the Velcro.
When I got him, his inner suit was in a filthy condition the tail cell had failed so his tail was a droopy saggy thing some of the foam structure had torn and some of the seams of the netting had failed. The outer skin was ok but also very dirty and the Velcro that secured it around the neck had peeled off and needed sewing back on. His feet which at first, I thought where ok where a bodged mess all his claw tips needed replacing and the elastic cuff around the ankle had perished like wise for the cuff around the gloves. Now to the mask oh wow it was in a bad state the teeth where a bodged mess of card board and duct tape the mouth linings where gunked up with glue from the many attempts over the years to reglue the teeth and the foam view screening was torn and dry rotted it needed a rebuild.
To fix him I completely stripped down the inner body suit cleaned it refilled the cells with Asdas finest budget pillow filling. Glued and patched the tears in the foam and hand stitched all the seams I had to spit to dismantle it. The feet were given new hard resin claw tips and new elastics. The gloves elastics where also replaced. The outer skin was washed and the Velcro was resewn by hand around the neck. The mask was the biggest job as I pulled out the entire mouth linings and made new ones from thin MDF covered with black fleece. I re-covered the original teeth he had with new cream spandex gluing them back in with black hot melt glue. The linings where then glued back in and a new nylon mesh screen was fitted. He was finally complete.
Wearing him is like slipping into another world he’s very heavy but well balanced the arms have been designed to give you limited movement and are stumpy and short so you have got to adapt the silly short arms of a real T-rex. The vision is difficult and is obstructed by the teeth. Also due to the size of the mask you have a six-foot blind spot all around you where an adult person can stand and be invisible to you. The inside of the mask is cavernous and when you want to get out you need a helper to gently pull it all off you which is kind of been like been born again. But all in all it’s a rather fun suit to wear and clown around in. So after my original reluctance to fix him where I even just considered taking him back to where I found him am rather glad that I did carry on till the end as I can see him becoming some what of a show stopper costume and as you know kids frigging love dinosaurs so he’s going to bring a lot of smiles.
I’ve more of less uploaded everything I have done of him so far even the pictures that did not turn out right. Hopefully I can get some time to take him out to a nice place for more photos.
He is the authentic Sky one “Wild Things” team mole suit.
This is big furry guy is one of two mole suits built for the UK Sky one Tv game show “Wild Things” restored and repaired. It appears in parts of all seasons of the show. He is the only mole suit known to still exist as most of the other suits where rumored to be destroyed after the final season.
There where two mole suits made with differing designs the partner to this one had a mostly grey body. As you can expect with a game show that involves mud and gunk this suit still shows evidence from been used on the show like stains which did not wash out.
Unlike most mascot suits this one is deliberately built to be clumsy and difficult to wear. Its bulky and extremely warm to due to the thickness of the fur and foam lining. Vision is designed to be extremely limited to two small holes near the nose which during filming were blocked with plugs thus the contestant was totally blind and would have to stumble around the wild wood completely blind.
Entry is in the back of the suit by way of a Velcro closure which is also secured against accidental opening by three plastic snap clips making it virtually impossible for the wearer to remove the suit themselves. Also, the head is secured with a double chin strap and contains a skate board helmet for safety. It is more or less complete apart from the orignal nose plugs and expander panel that fits in the back used to adjust the size of the suit for larger contestants.
I’ve been mulling over the idea to one day take him back to Rushmere Country Park where the show was filmed to visit the remains of the wild things gate just for a laugh. But that’s a project for another time.
All the suits were built for the show by costume builders “Frenzy Creative” of Manchester.
He never had a name on the show just Mole So I've called him BOB

She never work in her life for even one day for her self or for the children or for this house, but she did work very hard to building up a big pile of GOSSIP and COMPLAINTS against every person she knows in this world.

Thursday 15 November 2018: Lihi (2900 m) - Hinang Gompa (3200 m)
Manaslu Circuit Day 8
Route: Lihi / Lhi / लिही (2900 m) - Hinang Gompa (3200 m) - Hinang Glacier (3700 m) - Hinang Gompa (3200 m)
Camp: Hinang Gompa
My Manaslu Circuit mood lifted at Lihi. We woke to blue skies, and a cold brisk morning. Val got us off early, and at a fast pace so that we could get to Hinang Gompa with enough time to continue up the valley to Hinang Glacier (3700 m) for lunch. Superb Himal Chuli views through drifting cloud, and a picnic lunch of chapattis, cheese and chutney.
Lots of photos, and a lovely stroll back through the woods to the gompas.
There are two. The large gompa in whose grounds we were camped is the monastery, the one perched on a rock near by is the nunnery, which operates as an old people’s home.
We coincided with trail runners at this gompa too (as at Mu). Brits this time, and it turned out that Val knew the organisers.
After soup and chips pick me up in one of the gompa classrooms, we ran another LED eyes, glasses & medical clinic for the nearby nuns, monks and elderly. And then polished off the Penderyn Gold….
A fantastic day.

2/100 - Look on the bedside table for Groudon. Can you see him?
Remember, put a note around him when you find him. Quite an easy one today though. Try not to look at it in large because than it is easier.
Look at him working so hard! I wish I was as hardworking as a bee.
There was so much goldenrod around.
"Goldenrod is a perennial plant that is well-known for its healing properties. This wild edible is a plant that reproduces through its roots, bulbs, stems and by its seed. Goldenrod does not cause seasonal allergies as many tend to believe."
www.ediblewildfood.com/goldenrod.aspx
I remember attending a lecture in Colorado at RMBL about goldenrod and it was truly fascinating as this plant is super crazy cool. Not talking about it's ethnobotanical uses, but just its ecology and evolution.
Him and his kind eat all the plants in the garden.
It has been so hot today, this snail has taken refuge in the water feature, he seems happy enough.
I have seen him many times on my way back home from Faversham station, sitting on the railway bridge, watching the trains arrive and depart. Tonight he was there again.
Whilst we gave him a little cuddle, the Southeastern train person on the platform had a chat with us and said he was living just across the road from the station. Apparently, whenever he feels bored, he escapes to the bridge for some trainspotting...and gets very excited when the trains move.

So after having him on layaway for over two months, my adorable little Puff arrived on my doorstep today :'] He is the perfect remedy for my school finals stresses D:
His name is Dustin, and he is a little Prince from the Renaissance times. I am not sure where he is from yet, I was leaning towards France this whole time but I'm still not 100% sure.
After a trip to the dentist and waiting impatiently at home for my sisters to get home, I finally opened him up!
He is SO adorable, I simply melt whenever I see those puffy little cheeks! No wonder he is called Puff ! XD
More photos eventually, I'm tired now and can't be bothered to set up a good background x3

The infamous SCOOBY DOO TWO BUCKS, autographed by the lead singer of Casting Crowns, Mark Hall. Jay and Donna chased Mark down at Kings Dominion, and made him laugh at our story of why the Ellis family was here and why Jay wanted this autograph for Cody. Jay had been searching all week for just the right gift for Cody, and God knew exactly what would make Cody smile. It says, "Hey Cody" then Mark drew a little crown and signed his name and wrote Psalm 1... look it up!
