Rigged Character: Ivo Grigull's Norman Rig with video manual

I think I've finally found a rigged character for Blender 2.5 that looks great and is really well-rigged! And, it's free (Creative Commons)!

Character animation in Blender 2.5 with the Norman Rig - Video Manual from Ivo Grigull.

Addendum: Adding custom variants of the Norman Rig from Ivo Grigull.

You can download the rigged character from Ivo's blog...
