Below is a link to a low cost Clyde alternative. I have Clyde and this is defintely not as good but for the price an option on this tough to find item.

There's seems to be a number of these on the market. This one looks almost exactly like Clyde:

Apologies for the double post, but I thought that this also should be posted here.
Thanks to the users on this site, I was able to purchase a replacement imitation Clyde from the US http://www.ronjo.com/magic/72177353078.html . What surprised me was that the puppet cost me $18 and the cheapest shipping option to the UK was $11. Incredibly, it arrived 4 days later (I was expecting after Christmas). Ok, on with the prop. The puppet is larger than Clyde. Clyde is made from a better quality fur fabric, but this one is quite serviceable. The extra separate glove is larger than the Tenyo glove - this is a good thing, as I often had trouble with the glove being too tight. The puppet is perfectly moveable, but lacks the same feel of Clyde - possibly because it is larger. One thing with the fixed glove is that on Clyde you could insert your little finger into the finger of the fixed glove to make the fake hand move, giving the illusion that your hand was moving independently from Clyde. Although you can do this with this puppet, it is not as easy to do as it is with Clyde. Overall, for the price paid (which was $29 inc. shipping - £18) I am very, very pleased. It will make a nice replacement for a very hard to get and very expensive original. Edit: Just to point out, my original Clyde was stolen after a performance many years ago. |
