38 Silly Monkey, Wrap Around Waist, Ventriloquist Style Puppet

Soy maestro de español y animador infantil, es una excelente inversión para trabajar con los niños utilizando la imaginación y creatividad . Los niños aman a mi puppet monkey

All good except the body should be longer like the last one I purchased years ago. Eyes kind of cheap n dumb.

My puppet eyes arent straight they crooked and the mouth is twist it. This my first ventriloquist puppet. So now I got to figure something out.

Absolutely love this little bundle of joy

Very fun and easy to use. Bought for 6 year old beginner.

Great puppet. My grandson and his Poppop are really enjoying it.

My daughter’s 11year old birthday present. She loves it!

The problem was the Horrible itchiness that you experienced when placing your hand inside. It was so bad. I cant imagine anyone performing comfortably with this puppet. like pins and needles. Aside from that the quality was good, the fur was all over the place and shed but this could be easily fixed with a few brushings and some tlc.

SECOND UPDATE: I purchased two more so we could do a group project. The newer ones were not as good and had very crooked eyes, and uneven faces (eye brows, eye sockets mis-matched). No reply from seller when I asked for a trade. Did some modifications so they work good now. ORIGINAL REVIEW Its described as 38-inches, which is technically accurate, but the body of the puppet is the same size as a much smaller puppet, it just has disproportionately long arms and legs. Also, the arms and legs have no stuffing, just the fabric, so they hang like a limp noodle, making if very hard to use the arm wand to get any articulate movement. Other than that, the sewing is great, and the face has great character that is a lot of fun to work with. Pros -Great face -mouth is firm enough to be easy to operate, but flexible enough to put some expression into. (I later added some reinforcing to the inside of the mouth to give it more structure). Cons -short body, only covers about 3/4 of my forearm. -no stuffing in arms making it look baggy and hard to manipulate or pose. -pupils on eyes are a bit crooked, making it hard to tell where its looking. UPDATE: I successfully added some strips of foam to the arms and legs to give them a little more heft, and now he gestures great with the arm wand. I also spliced in an extra piece of fur to his neck to make him a bit taller to cover my arm, and it gives him great head movement. I took off the painted black pupils and glued on 5/8 doll eyes.

The fur is a disaster as it arrives in a plastic bag and its full of static electricity. No box at all other than the Amazon box. Needs brushed and a lot of fur falls out. Its a gift otherwise Id send it back. Not worth the price even on sale.
