Deluxe Style Puppets

We recently updated our custom puppet options and features, adding to and fixing up our stock-shape pattern library.
Our stock-shape based custom puppets are now broken down into two styles: Simple and Deluxe Style puppets.
This post will describe the Deluxe Style puppets in a bit more detail.



The puppets are blank, but you can get an idea of how they work.

Being a stock-shape based puppet, Deluxe Style allow puppets you to create a character from different shapes that we have ready-to-go. These shapes make the base that your character is then applied to.

Deluxe Style puppets are slightly larger than similar Simple Style shapes. These puppets’ heads are roughly human-sized, and they stand roughly 20 inches tall.
In contrast with their Simple Style counterparts, the Deluxe Style puppets heads and bodies are structured entirely with foam.  Also, these puppets' necks are built with so that the head can turn independently from the body, giving them a wider range of motion.

These puppets show different combinations of all of our Deluxe shapes:


Deluxe Egghead, Average body and Live-Hands.


Deluxe Long-Head, Oval body and Rod-Hands.


Deluxe Round head, Oval body and Live-hands.

With your character design and input, we create combinations of these features to make your character. With these different head, body and arm options, many different combinations are possible, each with the potential to bring your character to life.
