Rebuilding Big Tex 

You know you’re from Texas when you cry for Big Tex catching on fire

I love being from Texas ❤️🐂

The new big Tex is a bit less scary looking. 😂

Rip to the OG Big Tex ...he was my favorite!

I remember waking up to this and...seeing him in flames and I remember going to school everyone talking about this #fourthgradeproblemsof2012

Fascinating! I loved watching the process...wonderful job!!!

The Morse Code is *FRIED CHICKEN*

10:41 Big Tex thicc confirm?????

Second comment to say this video is BEAUTIFULLY shot and edited. Wow! Kudos to Nathan Hunsinger, Tom Fox, Ahmad Hubnik, Brian Elledge, and Oyama Caviness.

The voice of Big Tex worked in the same building as I did at EDS before HP bought them. Nice guy.

I’m from North Carolina and have never stepped foot into Texas except for the airport in Dallas and yet I still love Big Tex! Perhaps one day I’ll be able to see the Brobdingnagian One in person. That would be quite a thrill. P.S. We’ve got a pretty nice State Fair in the Tar Heel State as well. Take care, everyone. Stay safe.

I was born & raised in Texas I love big Tex & Dallas. I’m glad he is back better than ever.

Mi conocimiento sobre Texas es solo por libros, películas y su música extraordinaria. Me alegra que hayan reconstruído Big Texas. Hay cosas que parecen secundarias pero que no deberían perderse. ¡Felicitaciones!

I went to state fair I love the turkey leg

The person who made big Tex talk is 80 years old

To see the new Big Tex getting built is very interesting.

Big tex is creepy to me but that doesnt mean you put alot of hard work on it and it was good

I remember when he was on fire. It was really sad. Other ppl from other states are like “what is this witchcraft?”

I enjoy this every time I see this video! Big Tex is a icon! He the only person that have jeans, shirts, hat, and boots bigger than mine!

I want a time-lapse of the sculpting! Fantastic work by everyone.

It wasn't the first time he was replaced and it won't be the last - but he looks good. A little close to the uncanny valley but it's not bad.

This is so dramatic I love it XD

"Howdy folks, It's HOT!"

Very interesting...thanks for sharing.

Awesome! You just made me want to to go to the fair. M. ;)

I agree with Mark my son lived here for 9 YEARS

I like watching the store you girls did a good job of putting Back Together Big text

this thing scared the living shit out of me when i was little

I thought the shirt was blue

0:45 Me seeing old Tex for the first time Boi what da bell Boi

I love big Tex so much even with a mask but when he’s on fire I miss him I love big Tex❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For all of the people who comment on how strange or cheap Big Tex looks, I wonder how many of you have ever been or lived in TX. Don't let the media be your only source for info or its politicians be the only people you think live there - I lived there for four years and found most folks just genuinely friendly and more than willing to help you experience the Texas spirit, which tends to be big and lively and good spirited, just like the statute.

It's perfect! "A man of the people, I knew it!"

Who else is watching in 2018-2019?

That looks real hard cause big tex is huge

This makes me cry I'm from Texas but I live in south Carolina now I hate like hell not living in texas

without big Tex the people will be crying

I was wondering why I don't remember this. Then I saw the date, October 2012. Just the previous month we had the tragic airplane crash at the Reno Air Races with 11 lives lost, so I suppose my mind was else where then. I had attended them for many years. Losing Big Tex was small news compared to a World War II fighter plowing into the crowds. May all who were lost continue to RIP. Glad Big Tex was rebuilt.

beautiful morning with the turkeys outside you at work what could be more beautiful than this

I am glad that they fixed big tex 🙂🙂

Respawn big tex!!! :^)

Very cool video

big tex has always creeped me out...

Why are people still asking about the Fifth Titan when he's right here

Cool video. So did they drop the curtain for a crowd too or just for the select few who were there

big tex well be returned we love big tex

R.I.P. OG Big Tex.

Big Tex is the best

With wires that hold big Tex was the point that it catch on 🔥

That's one raging fireball affro!

The virgin Statue of Liberty vs the chad Big Tex

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

I think big tex is the only one that is famous on Twitter just for burning 🔥

Im going to see big tex on Saturday

i remember telling a police officer i smell a very light burning electrical smell, while at fletchers, But fletchers checked everything in the stand and none of us realized the wind was carrying the smell our direction !! AND minutes later SMOKE !!! Seconds later ...People crying like it was the end of the world !!!!

“friiiied chicken” pissed me off

Well look back and say big tex was freaky as fuck. He's freaky as fuck now to some

The Morse code was fried chicken

Big Texas ❤

I go in big tex i love yo go i never see big tex in fire

Why did you make him blue when you were making him

Big Tex the first person in Texas

I think he’s awesome!!! Not every fair, state or county, has an iconic statue that’s been loved and respected by everyone. I have a lot of respect for Big Tex. I don’t care if you make fun of me for thinking his awesome. You try and make an iconic giant statue of a cowboy if you think it’s easy. I guarantee you it’s gonna be harder than it sounds. Big Tex, I’m glad you exist. And to those who ain’t down with that, well then I got 2 words for ya: SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

big tex now is scary af. i was at the sate fair on sunday 10/21/2018 and when me and my parents saw him i'm like "he's scary..." and my mom was all like "who's that?! that's not the big tex i know.." and her girlfriend was all like "the big tex you two knew burned"

I'm here because of hank hill lol

Hi guys it’s Avery it’s really sad that big Tex burn down but it’s really sad I mean I mean I mean it is kind of happy because they build a new one

Why don’t you ask the state fair How did big tex Got on fire

Big Tex’s 60th birthday gift, death. But then SRO built him a new body and it worked!

R.i.p big tex #bigtexonfire

What if Big Tex would become Phantom because he is an animatronic.
