A wacky flailing inflatable tube man made out of strings of helium balloons. The wind blows the arms, head and body about to make it dance.
Again, I know somebody has strung a bunch of balloons together in the form of a man with arms, body, head, even legs, I'm just not finding it. All the searches
for "balloon character" etc come up with Macy's parade balloons that are basically character shaped blimps.
If on the very very very small chance it HASN'T been done, I propose:
Articulated Flailing Balloon String Man.
Okay, I think I might see why this hasn't been done and here's my solution, you'll need the balloons to be attached with pressure elements to keep them in shape, otherwise they just all rise up together and you just see a mass of balloons. So here's the idea to make this work.
1) Take a string of balloons.
2) You want then to line up horizontally, so you have little straw like things with strings, the structural element is the string to the ground.
3) You put a lightweight plastic spacer stick between the two balloons
4) You have a string that attaches two balloons together but you pull the outer balloon down by tightening the string between the anchor string and the outer string. Picture a tendon on an arm being pulled to flex the arm.
This way you can actually shape what would otherwise just be a mass of balloons all bundling together as they pull up in one direction.
Hmm. This might actually work.
