Help Me Help Myself

Ever want a life-sized HELPeR replica to take with you to various conventions? Or are you a VB fan but you don't want to look silly showing up to a convention with no friends dressed as Brock? Well, we have the solution to your problems! Our old friend HavocWare has been scouring eBay and came upon a life size HELPeR replica made out of cardboard. I'm not normally in the business of giving eBay auctions free publicity, but this is just too cool. Bidding starts at $10 and the auction ends September 4th!

I can't believe someone actually made a H.E.L.P.eR. I guess some people have A LOT of free time on their hands. But I can tell you it's harder to make a bubble suit (yes, from bubble wrap) for Halloween so that you can look like a Zoltan cult member (& a total jack@ss, but I didn't care, it was fun) from "Dude, Where's My Car".

Yep, I really made a bubble suit, & no it's not for sale, but I'd be happy to make another one & sell IT on Ebay. Anyone?

For a cardboard HELPeR, it's not bad, but it's a bit thin. I've seen some pictures of a group at a comic convention that had a better looking cardboard HELPeR.

Doesn't he have 4 wheels to roll around on, instead of 5?

Colors dont quite hit HELPeR's tone, but never the less AWSOME. Whoever made this is very talented. Hope you win, if thzat is your bidding. :P

Foo, you should make your own for the $40 (at least) it's going to cost you with shipping.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty funny.
But, throw in some dc motors, servos and and a cheap transceiver, and you could have it move, turn, raise arms, etc.

Toss in a little sound module and you could have it dump mp3/wavs of real SoulBot beeps and clicks too...

Hrm. I think I might just make me a HELPeR...

That presupposes that I have the time and interest in spending hours making a cardboard robot (cuz I don't). But for a couple of twenties, its good fun. I bill more an hour than that robot is going to cost me, assuming I win the auction, so its really not worth my time to spend the hours it would take to make one myself. Same reason I pay $8 for a hamburger at a restaurant instead of staying home and making one much cheaper myself :-)

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year. Go Team Venture! https://gizmodo.com/venture-bros-movie-adult-swim-warner-bros-animation-1850353234

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
