I bought some coolant pipe hose for the spine and a Furby off eBay. I watched some tutorials on how to longify him but ultimately totally winged it and I think Handsome Jerome turned out wonderfully (see my post history). He is hand sewn and stuffed with inexpensive polyfill. I bought my fabric to make him in person so I could feel it—1/2 yard of the body, 1/4 yard of his belly.
I use these Leadingstar GEN09015 Plastic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O14864?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
i used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008O14864/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it was cheaper than the spines sold on ebay! i used 3 out of the 6 so you can make 2 long furbies from this
I prefer these, over a gorilla pod, just remove the nozzle, insert a screw into the nozzle, crimp a clamp on it, and go. Similar to the helping hands Hobby Creek sells.
I bought this ball and socket hose on Amazon. link to hose It's 1/4 inch which turned out to be too small for my long denim furby. I think it would work for a smaller furby with more flexible fabric. I'm looking for something similar that's 3/4 inch or larger if anyone has a link :)

It's because it's actually flexible tubing for coolant: (forgive the mobile paste) Leadingstar GEN09015 Plastic Flexible Water Oil Coolant Pipe Hose, 6-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O14864/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_6bHXKRlBQQs2B

They are basically slightly modified flexible coolant pipes with crocodile clips screwed in the tips. If you're on a tight budget you can buld the thing using very cheap components instead of splurging for the finished product.
they are flexible coolant tubes, and then you just jam and glue alligator clips in the ends of them

I've been thinking of something like this flexible coolant hose and modeling up a screw on base with mounting holes and a camera holder for the other end.
I've thought of mounting it either on the control case where those random screws are or drilling my own holes on the left side of the vertical support.
The MDF base board was like $12 at Home Depot, I had them cut it in half. The arms are these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008O14864/ if you didn't see the link. I think the hardware store has gator clips for like $3. I guess with Sparkfun you're really paying for the aluminum base.
This took me 5 minutes to put together.
Commercial Version:
hobby creek version
Materials List:
The amazon link I linked to sells the hoses in packs of 6 so you can make one for yourself and a friend, or do what hobby creek did and fix 4 arms to the base (which in my opinion is a little overkill).
It's not 100% rigid, but for a $9 build, it's "rigid enough".
THE ZON!
I don't know if people realize this but those arms are used to direct streams of water for a bunch of applications like CNC work.
