Updated Hartz gang. A new member arrived Thursday.

I had to go back and look to see which one was new, so apparently you found the goof figure you were looking for - he looks great!

Great photo. Really shows the talent and versatility that a man such as Conrad has. Amazing what he can carve with a block of basswood and a chisel!!

Conrad Hartz has got to be one of the best figuremakers in vent history. Aside from the fantastic looks of his figures, the controls are suuuuuuuper quiet and smooth. Great collection, Donald!

Can't resist to say I'm proud that one of my main figs, named Nonoy, is a 1980s Hartz.

Louie's controls are so easy and so smooth that the first time I operated him, I had to look to make sure the small effort I was putting forth was actually doing anything. Hartz is amazing.

Creativemac: WOW, your Hartz vent family is AWESOME!! Great looking bunch! Conrad truely is a master craftsman! Love 'em all!!

Blueshawk1: thanks for the compliment!!! Buckley and Cletus prefer a good game of checkers and Bobby is too much of a "smart alec" to sit quietly and play a mental game like chess. Now Grampa B is a whole different story. I haven't been able to beat him yet!:o)

Captain C.: a fine family you have there, and so intellectual! Though I don't have any Alfaros, I admire his work.

Donald: your Hartz gang is terrific. Old fashioned craftsmanship and artistry.

I think we all have to admit that we are lucky to have so many great artists creating figures today.

Here is my family photograph

Dan you know as you have been introduced to him in an earlier post.

I purchased Walter as a part of my future act; he has pre recorded statements; unfortunately, I can’t use him in my routine, as his statements are R rated.

The farmer and the chicken are not true Vent figures,; they work with an MP3 voice over; the head of the farmer moves and both the chicken and the farmer have mouth movements.

I plan to use the farmer and the chicken as a pre show attraction.

Here is a link to watch the farmer and the chicken’s routine

Wow, what can I say? I'm truly jealous of all of you.

Don't be jealous, just catch up

Matt, I thought you posted that you didn’t have a figure and you were looking to purchase your first one.

The figure in your picture with you looks great, almost lifelike.

From the photo, it looks like the figure has self centering eyes that moves from side to side, sneer, blink a single eye and both eyes together and has flapping ears. What else can she do?

I’m the one that’s jealous

Admin wont allow me to post pictures

Here's the latest

The gang he joined;

Very handsome group, Donald.

Donald: FANTASTIC looking vent family you have there!!!

Outstanding, Donald! You know how much I love Conrad's work. I'd still like to visit your gang soon!

Keith - if you get the chance, do it! Donald, thanks again for the hospitality on my visit earlier this month! Congrats on the new addition.
