Halloween 2011: FRANKENBERRY!

Introduced by General Mills Cereal in 1971, this advertising icon is still around today pimping his sugary sweet cereal every October, along with his pals Count Chocula and Boo Berry.



It took me about 6 weeks to put this guy together from scratch. He was really very mobile...just not very fast. And he included a pretty hefty sound system (custom music tracks + sound effects), sound-responsive electro-luminescent wiring, a dozen strobe lights, and some sweet dance moves.



As always, Frankenberry was accompanied on 6th street by the beautiful blinking "Bride of Frankenberry."

43 batteries in all, a bit heavy, but totally worth it.
