well i would still like to get me a used animated santa claus the singing 5 foot tall type and plug hal into it like some had said before but finding a cheap one is hard to do (i know it wouldn't be robotic with arms , but it would work with a moving body and animated head and i have a body skin for it 
]
I saw the Santa Clause but bought another manikin from the same compsny. It was a dancing/singing skelleton. The mouth move when connected to Hal but there are no body movements and I assume that Santa would be the same.
I think the company that makes them is called 'Gemmy' or something like that. A search of old Hal files for Santa shoud bring up the real name.
