[Ridgeback]

That's both disgusting and fascinating.

[ryane]

[Siren]

Expect PETA at your door any minute trying to shut you down for dissecting a Pleo. :P

[Lu Bu]

NNOO! The dignity, the breeze that simply tickles between my legs, the humiliating nakedness! LOL Cool, its as though it was like this:

Cute cuddly Pleo in a Pleo costume at Day
Robotic, skeleton, cool looking tech dino at Night

Please post a vid soon!

[Caaahl]

Cool!

Im very courious about the video, too. :)

[pleoguy101]

your going to scare pleo out of his skin!!!:eek: (LOL, that was just a lame not really funny joke:D)

[Caaahl]

*impatient* :D

[alphapleo]

Poor Leo, do you think Chip will still recognize him? :D

Can't wait for the video...

[Limesunfire]

ah i cant wait to see this video.

[pirpintine]

wow... he looks like a terminater pleo! haha

[nikropht]

The pleo video is finally rendered and uploaded, I am waiting on google to finish processing it.

[Caaahl]

Great..... do you mind, if I keep pressing F5? ;)

[nikropht]

So while we wait.. some Pleo Trivia...

Did you know that Pleo's skin weighs about 10 ounces?

With Pleo's skin off Pleo's motors and gears are much noisier.

Pleo tends to trip without his skin as his ankles can flex much easier.

Pleo has "dentures", in the video you can see me remove them.

Pleo's legs are held in by 3 screws each.

Pleo separates in the middle of his torso, 6 screws hold that joint together.

More to come....

[nikropht]

The Pleo Video is <a href="http://www.pleodreams.com/node/11">Here</a>

Enjoy

[nikropht]

Hmm I wonder if my video can count for the Holiday Video contest....

[Caaahl]

omg, i just imagine the whole unskinning process while pleo is switched on :eek:

Do you plan to do/release further videos with further surgery work? :)

[nikropht]

Why yes.. Pleo doesn't seem quite right in the head today... So we shall "Pick his brain"..... <Mad scientist cackle>

More videos to follow....

[Caaahl]

I am looking forward to this, Mr. Frankenstein....sorry, ...nikropht i meant. :cool:

Hey, your eyelid paint is coming off as well. Strange that they should paint it rather than adding color to the plastic compound used to make the eyelid. They took a short cut. perhaps too many. though the eye ball is great. I like the coloring. Your pic shows this well.

I don't know why UGOBE painted all of Pleo's plastics, even Pleo's dentures are painted. If you notice Pleo's lower jaw, spine, tail and feet are all colored plastic.

[Lu Bu]

Remember, Pleo will remember that you operated him...

[P1e0]

Wow... put away those frogs class there's a new creature to disect on those slabs

LOL

[nikropht]

Remember, Pleo will remember that you operated him...

Bonez was anesthesised while the operation took place, his power switch was in the "0" position at all times. I have only freed the silicon within. Bonez is actually happier, free of his constraining skin, as you can see in the video.

[roschler]

I smell an mweed cartoon showing a weaponized mutated Bones seeking his revenge. "Iron Bones", the movie! :)

[nikropht]

The Skinning Video makes <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/31/pleo-goes-under-the-knife-in-astonishingly-long-video/">Engadget</a>

[degers]

What a great video and pictures, I love the "set". Please hurry up and post more on Pleo's brain!!!

[Lu Bu]

Should've of used an exacto knife to make it look more pro and official! LOL

I tried installing a heat-seeking missile, but it took out his charging station. :(

[ravennh]

http://dvice.com/archives/2007/12/pleo_dinobot_en.php

[Caaahl]

So, whats with the brain surgery video? :)

[nikropht]

it will be posted soon... ;)

[degers]

I can't wait!

[junkroxy]

I agree, I don't understand why they paint the eyelids (the color of Pleo plastic feets is perfect for the eyelids!):confused:

THE VIDEO IS VERY INTERESTING, ARE U WORKIN FOR A PART 2?

[nikropht]

The "Short" version of the brain surgery is uploading now. And will be posted as soon as Google processes it. We will upload the full version shortly after.

[degers]

Whooooooo!

[Caaahl]

Still in progress? :)

[nikropht]

Since the previous two videos have proven to be so popular we have decided to make a series. Starting with this weekend's episode "Bonez and his Thorocotomy", we will shoot a weekly episode and detail each piece of the Pleo dinosaur. So far we have discovered 1 of Pleo's 6 processors. I have also heard rumblings of a replacement battery pack for Pleo that can make him run twice as long! Stay tuned for more updates.

[nikropht]

The "Bonez and his Thorocotomy" Video has been released and is here (http://www.pleodreams.com/node/18)

Enjoy!

[Caaahl]

I'm just watching it.

Great video quality this time! :cool:

*edit*
Really nice video. Could you pleeease add more detailed photographs of the inner parts? :)

[Lu Bu]

Yay! Bonez still works. Yet even if I could do that and know that my Pleo would still work if I did that, I still wouldn't do that, GREAT VID! 10/10!

[nikropht]

Thanks guys! I do have detailed shots of the guts and will put them up soon.

[cmadmacs]

Awsome video. Pleo anatomy 101.

Nope its allways been Pleo or Bonez.

[Caaahl]

You have some competition:

[nikropht]

Well we know where they got the idea from don't we... Thats fine we will have more in-depth, how it works information.

Plus they say at the end that they don't even know how to put him back together again :( :mad:

[dgd]

I would have guessed that Pleo would be better at movements and walking without skin.

[fancyfont]

Isn't it possible to have one large scar (seam) down his back then no skin at all?:confused:
