I believe you- it's a pun. Cool costume, for sure!

I know!! I said in another response how I didn’t quite catch that! What a fool I was! Haha

Tbf at least it got us a video which makes this so much better.

Is it wrong for me to want that to be my daily commute vehicle?

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubca73 wrote

It certainly is real! I’ll add a video later, I’m having issue with Imgur right now so I’m struggling atm to get one up.

They said "phoney".. like phone-y

Also my kids had that toy! Has a red string to pull it along

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubeoeu wrote

Wow… HUGE wooosh for me. I didn’t notice that!

I appreciate you pointing it out! I’m the phony!

We did get a rope for it for the front, but decided not to put it on. It would have looked weird being bunched up in front or being dragged.

RegularHousewife t1_iubg7vv wrote

Yeah after I said that I imagine her getting pulled and thought that'd look weird too! I read on another comment that the eyes can move and that's 🤌

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iub92ef wrote

We have a chair rigged on a cart that is controlled by a hoverboard. So she drives and steers with her feet!

She controls the up and down motion of the eyes with her hands!

I managed to get a video up!!

a short video of it here

If you like this, check out some of our previous year’s costumes!!

Abnormally high traffic was detected by antiphishing biz (?) so the link shut down. What's wrong with Imgur? You could put them all in one link.

Here's the direct links without the weird captcha-infested link shortener thing they're using:

My favorite part actually is seeing how your descriptions go backwards from wife to fiancée to girlfriend. Sweet.🥰

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iudr4ey wrote

I didn’t know Reddit had its own link shortening!

I had to shorten them cause it simply wasn’t working with the hyperlink for some reason. All three of em!

2

unhi t1_iuee5p9 wrote

Odd, I've never had issues with link length. I wonder if that's a new.reddit problem or something with the app.

That actually makes me realize that Reddit have seemingly hidden the shortlinks these days. On old.reddit they are right at the top of the sidebar on every post. However I don't see them at all on new.reddit ("share>copy link" just gives the full link) and I'm not sure what the deal is with mobile.

Anyway, once you know they exist they are quite easy to create at least since they're just redd.it/ + the 6 character code from the URL.

This made her smile so big!

I think this goes beyond costume and into the realm of a parade float.

They still make these actually. Stock up!

tylamb19 t1_iuei7mn wrote

Are they touch tone nowadays? Or still rotary??

2

IamRick_Deckard t1_iuej59n wrote

Still rotary.

tylamb19 t1_iuejcpe wrote

That’s awesome haha. I have an early 1950s rotary phone (WE 5302) in my house and anyone younger than about 20 has serious trouble figuring out how to dial it haha. Guess none of them had one of these as a kid

IamRick_Deckard t1_iuejfti wrote

I have a 1933 phone and I also love it. Long live the landline.

3

tylamb19 t1_iueju65 wrote

I have mine hooked up to a modern IP phone switch via an analog station card installed in the switch. It actually natively supports converting the pulse dial signal into a modern SIP trunk (VoIP service) which means I can have the best of both worlds, no expensive monthly landline fees and can still use my nice old phone. It’s great.

cedarpark t1_iuevxgp wrote

Kids will have no connection from this to a telephone. They’ll probably think it’s some weird robot or something.

When she's rolling do the eyes go googly? Has to be authentic.

Edit: nvm, saw your answer below. ;)

feuerwehrmann t1_iub9mdk wrote

What is it made out of? It has to be more than just cardboard

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iub9qdt wrote

It’s actually insulation foam board! Best stuff to work with for stuff like this!

ronchee1 t1_iuba6eu wrote

This is cool. If that's the case, for the phone ear peace for example, did u just glue a bunch together in a square then cut the shape into it?

2

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubb1wc wrote

Yep! The handle was four 2” rectangles stacked and the circular ear/mouth pieces were cubes, all carved and then glued together.

Violated-Tristen t1_iubc9lx wrote

Please tell me the eyes look back and forth when she rolls.

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubcpzs wrote

She manually can move them up and down with a handle we built for em.

Violated-Tristen t1_iubda2u wrote

Awesome. You guys nailed this. Certainly hit my nostalgia bone. Tell me your dressing up and a weenie or some fisherprice figure.

2

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubdnyf wrote

Hahah I wish! So much time goes into her costume that I put literally zero effort into myself. I’m ok with it! Seeing people excited for her is the best!

That’s love. Supportive husband. Happy wife. Awww that melts my heart. Have a great Halloween guys.

Costume? That’s a parade float! Looks great though 👍🏻

oozing_with_jelly t1_iudxvde wrote

Yeah. Im confused. I always thought a costume is something you wear. This is just a toy car. Looks cool though.

SciFiChickie t1_iubblxj wrote

That had to of taken some serious time to put together. It looks great, and so original.

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubbxxi wrote

Thank you! It took two solid weeks of staying up really late. Glad to have it finished now!

I appreciate the relationship progression and costume complexity through the years.

Ma’am, your costume is a vehicle.

Seriously, that should be on the soapbox challenge! It looks amazing!

Life-Sky3645 t1_iube6f4 wrote

I am shocked and delighted with your costumes! Just stellar!

Where do they live during the off season?

2

o0_bobbo_0o OP t1_iubee5l wrote

They all unfortunately had to get destroyed and tossed.

The older ones we lived in a small apartment and had no place to store them.

We now have a house with PLENTY of space. So we’ll at least hold onto this one for a while.

Life-Sky3645 t1_iugt4d3 wrote

It's like building beautiful sandcastles at the beach. Everyone is so amazed, everyone is dazed by his magical, and when the special day is over, they are gone, but everyone still remembers ...

Fisher price did a re-release of these a while back so we got one for my nephew. He had no idea what it was. Got super upset with us when we told him it was a phone cause he thought we were fucking with him.
