Tick,

Yes, I intend to both animate them and play with them as well. So far the rigs seem pretty indestructable and a LOT more flexible than the rigs I used a year ago (which is why I didn't put all that much up last year! :-) )

Jay,

Yes, I suppose Tick Tock and Bonhomme would have been contemporaries! I haven't seen the movie, but I have seen stills and remember the original illustrations from the L Frank Baum books. The Tin Man had that gangly look as well.

Thanks for the compliments!
