Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Posables
Home: California, United States
Posables are life-sized wooden stick figures that can be arbitrarily posed to make a statement, scene, or tell a story. They have been a staple at Bay Area Maker Faires almost since the beginning, and are a favorite of many attendees. The exhibit is fully interactive, comprising many characters or different sizes as well as pneumatic animatronics - controlling a character on a trampoline or climbing a pole, for example.

What Inspired You to Make This?
Mike Regalbuto and Bob Brown have been making these characters together for many years, largely for fun. We like that the characters have a great appeal to kids who like to pose them to express thoughts and feelsings that might otherwise b e difficult to express.
