I was just by the Strut Your Reel site and noticed they have a animation rig of a really amazing character available for download. It really looks great, and is the real deal when it comes to animation. They also have an in depth review of the process from the four people involved which is a very good read.

There is even whispers of a ten second animation contest with it. Even with my super limited 3D skills, I'm totally looking forward to giving it a spin.
