I don’t plan on having it pick up very small objects, like pens and whatnot. My main goal is to have it pick up a beer I’m going to be adding some rubber grips to the inside of the hands, and I’m hoping that with two hands it should be able to lift a beer.

Yep He looks like (since he’s kinda backwards) like Gangster style With sunglasses it would be…

Here’s a music video I made while I was practicing head movement to give him more natural speaking gestures.

(Slight language warning, PG-13ish I’d say )
