Big Shark!
People love big, scary, man-eating fish but so few rarely get a chance to play with them, much less touch them. We're all about making those dreams come true. 'Big Ass Shark' is an interesting, inflatable, instrument of FUN (iiiF) that takes no prisoners but leaves an enormous trail of smiles in its wake. It's tethered at three points and stabilized with structural leads, attached poles, and it's fully mobile. This shark is technically what we call 'life-sized' (approximately 13' long) and will feature bright LED light arrays adorning the eyes and lining the gaping mouth – mostly RED. The tail flaps and the body can swim through crowds while the jaws extend open to hold objects or festival props. During the evening this air-filled beast strikes a wicked profile and is internally illuminated with glowing & throbbing lighting. Oh yeah, the lighting can be switched to sound activation. And What The Heck, we'll put lasers in his eyes. Components: .18 mm vinyl, printed, SHARK, inflatable 'bladder' aluminum puppeteering handles LED's, lasers & controller (2) LIthium battery packs & charger blower unit & misc hardware We are developing a series of FUN, wacky & super interesting inflatables including a number of sizes of Rubber Chickens, a 16' Octopus & Woopie Cushion.
