Talk:Billy the Puppet

message: I don't know who changed the title to "Billie", but if they can't even spell his name right, they shouldn't be making an official wikipedia page about him or moving things around. James Wan, the director of Saw, is the CREATOR of Billy. You know, he sat down one day and constructed him for this movie and named him, and seeing as EVERY time he talks about him he spells it with a 'y', I would say that is dandy proof that "ie" is a load of crap. Please stop making the mistake and passing it on to others. 
If you would even like to go over and ask James to get it straight from the horse's mouth, you can do it at the House of Jigsaw (official Saw) message board, or myspace at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=9960495&MyToken=5adfb21a-d6b0-48de-9ff2-a7de4458dfd6 . He will tell you that "Billie" is the incorrect spelling. 
And, actually, "Billie" is the spelling for a girl.

replies: text: Don't know the specifics, but I recall when he was originally made he was pretty low-budget and was moved by strings and once the series became more high budget he was able to be more mobile and move by himself.--CyberGhostface 23:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think that's a good picture choice, because that picture is of a protocol, not what Billy looks like right now. And I know there are tons of other pictures than just those. Iwantasmoothie 19:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Uh...what are you talking about? The Billy used as the front picture isn't from SAW 2 at all. It has such clear differences, I don't really understand how they could be mistaken for the real thing. I've seen that Billy elsewhere, and it doesn't even have hair, for one. SAW 2 used two robot Billys, and this is neither of those. It's the first version of Billy that James ever made, thus, a protocol. Then there's the second one he ever made, which I consider the real one, which was used in SAW 1, but never again because they got enough money to start making the robot ones. The one you offered as an alternative is the real Billy, but the picture quality is bad.<BR><BR> 
Why not use this, or the generic Billy picture, plain and simple.  Iwantasmoothie 20:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Add to list also if anymore found. They were posted here just in case if anyone wants to include a full list in the article or a note in the article though most of the are just the same video but the name of the site.

replies: text: Thats a shame. I'll let the other people decide, but IMO since it was a pretty notable incident it might deserve mention.--CyberGhostface (talk) 14:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Only thing is, and this is mainly playing Devil's advocate, short of the man just having a tatoo of Billy on his arm, it doesn't really make any claim that the Billy Doll or anything Saw related directly  made him do this. If we do include this does that really mean that everyone with a Billy tattoo deserve a mention? Because that essentially what adding this would imply... Agent452 (talk) 16:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I have seen Billy dolls for purchase, as well as Billy Halloween masks, so I added them to the article, and am looking for some proper citation.  I put them under the initial main article because I was unsure if I should create a whole new section in the page about this matter, when I could just sum it up in a couple sentences.  Anyone have any opinions?  (Sorry, I am still somewhat new to Wikipedia editing, and don't totally get what is acceptable or not yet.) MaximumMadnessStixon (talk) 16:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose if we ever do a "reception/response" section we could add it there. I don't know if citations are really important at the moment, but there are sticklers who might give you a hard time. But I think its fine.--CyberGhostface (talk) 19:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
