duplicating rigged character

maybe duplicating doesn’t work like I thought… I had one character and needed three of them… so had it in object mode, the bones and the person… did a Shft+D to duplicate… when I move them… this is what happens…

how do I fix or is there a different way to duplicate the character...  

thanks


Okay… thought the duplication created that weird thing going on… but went back and opened the file again and even the one character has the problem… not sure why or how to fix… not had this happen before… it is like that one piece of him is anchored in one spot

thanks

Never mind… figured it out… kept on working with it… had something to do with the weight painting… so it is now okay
I think…

thanks.
