Here's the completed Carl and a few of his friends (some less complete than others).

Thank you.  It's a very fun project.

Here we have yet another character (and a crude joke - my apologies in advance), Dr. Buschmeiner.

Dr. Buschmeiner and a slightly altered Carl.

Little known factoid: While it's not stated in the script, Dr. B and Carl are Uncle and Nephew.

Finally, the new and improved Carl

Man you are really knocking these guys out! You must be working 24-7!  Hey they do look related. 
Re: It Came from Uranus Posted by Rikka on Jan 20, 2012
Buschmeiner? Where did you get that name? ("Busch" is bush in German, "meinen" ist to mean- Meier (or Meyer or Maier or Mayer- most commonly Meier or Meyer, though) would be more common, that's why I ask.
I like him even better than Carl, and that's saying something!

As for the rate of production, I find it not too difficult after the aliens.  It's really just assembling the heads and hands.  The bodies are just Project Puppet Pinhead tube bodies and foam arms. So once the head is complete it's a simple matter of attaching it to the foam body and then dressing them.

As for the name, I know it's not true German, but it's sort of pseudo-German for the sake of the joke.  What's the joke, you ask?  OK, I'm going to be honest here.  And again, my apologies in advance.  The joke is that the good doctor here is an OB/GYN.  So the name is really a very crude play on words.

OB/GYN? What's that? Don't worry- I guess there are a great many jokes on the potatoes out there. Maybe sometimes we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously- that's for the better for everybody. Especially if it makes a few laughs.
Re: It Came from Uranus Posted by PoorFishy on Jan 20, 2012
OB/GYN is an obstetrician and gynaecologist.

I agree.  A little toilet humour never hurt anyone.  So long as it's not all there is.
