Bigfoot: A Barbie Escape, Rebuilt as an R/C Monster Truck

The original headline, verbatim: “Bigfoot buildup from a Barbie Escape and Radio Shack R/C Avalanche chassis.” Eighteen build photos from the 2003-2004 buildup. Click any photo to open it full-size in the lightbox.

Bigfoot build photos

Photos 03 and 09 exist in the archive as thumbnails only; photos 01, 02, 06 and 12 survive in full size but lost their thumbnails. Every image that the Internet Archive ever captured is shown above.

New “BarbFeet” — recovered from the archive
In December 2004 the build got a sequel: the original page said “Click the pic below to checkout some new BARBFEET” and linked out to the Escape Central forum. The four supporting photos were missing from the 2004 capture of this site — but the rest of the web archive still had them, so they are back here, where they belong.

Off the bench

One last aside, because a build log is a good place for them: while waiting on R/C parts, I spent a surprising amount of time reading about watches. If you are curious what the “super clone” tier actually means, the Hublot replica pages over at CloneWatches.io are the most organized reference I have found.
