EricJ Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ok, we're not talking about Puppet Wars here (yet), but what was the favorite puppet you've ever owned. This can be Stuffed Animals, Puppets, Dolls, etc...anything in the Genre. Just the favorite one you've ever owned and why. (if you have photos, all the better!) Who knows, if it's really good, it could get recruited into the War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, if it's really good, it could get recruited into the War Mr Duck. What are the chances it was a DUCK.... I went home a few months ago and found it in the loft and it has now back at my flat. I will endevour to get a photo when I get back from stupid week away with work.

Ratty Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I love my cuddly Plague Rat Puppet.. though mine looks decidedly more ragged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_God Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 For my brother it was Bert, from Sesamy Street. He liked it so much, that when it was too torn and had to be thrown away, we had to ask someone who was going to the USA to get him another one... Mine were an elephant, at my grandparents', and at my own house, a teddy-bear wearing overalls and a dalmatian from 101 Dalmatians. I'll try to take photos, but unlikely before Sunday.

EricJ Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I had a giant meter tall puppet of the Coyote from the Road Runner cartoon I loved it to pieces...literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxXhayzelXxx Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Being very into my dolls, and teddies, i had several favourites. But i always took around this misshapen hand crafted felt ... thing that me and my mum made when i was about 2. He was pink, with purple hair and it had cross stitched eyes and a little button nose (that had to come off because i bit it off one day and mum thought i was gunna choke on it) and a drawn on lopsided smile! He was my version of a comforter. He was my best friend all the way to high school, and i used to think it gave me magic powers. We used to fly around the world, eating cheese, and just having a swell time!! His name was Jeffery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyandottemike Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Current: He sits on top of my bathroom mirror, keeping an eye out for bad juju. I wish I owned: I'm just too cheap to pay $90.00, even if it is super cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well, I wasn't a kid but I got a Christmas Cthulu (so cool with bells at the end of his face tentacles) and a Monty Python Vorpal Bunny puppet. I have two daughters and one had her time with them and now the youngest has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 When I was younger I had two marionettes. One was of a mexican gunslinger in a sombrero, and the other was a twisted doctor that looked like he belonged in a horror movie more than a hospital. Not sure where they are these days, I know they are here somewhere, if I can find them I'll definitely get some pictures up. Ps this thread was a wicked idea!

Illustrange Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 drumrolls and suprise... one I stitched and fluffed myself (in a similar fashion to the puppet arts when I was very little. It was a guinea pig(ish) and both the fur he is made from and the buttons for eyes came from a jacket my mother hardly ever wore, so didnt ask permission (nevermind it was summer and hardly ever is counted for weeks at that age ) still have it, and it still freaks people out ...need to take a picture.

Rage Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Got this lil fella years ago when my cousin traveled to the Czech Republic. My brother got a court jester, but I think this particular marionette is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I was pretty surprised to find that picture on the internet. The actual puppet is at home, and from what I know, not many were made. I'll try to find a picture of the court jester when I can. Constructing marionettes has been an interest of mine for a while, one of these days I might actually get around to trying it out.

Dark Alleycat Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ok...for anyone that has ever seen the Dark Crystal,there is a little critter that accompanies the female main character named Fizzgig. He is basically a mouth with two tiny paws,fur on his back and big yellow eyes. As a child I utterly adored that movie,and so my mother being the crafty woman she was,stitched me my very own Fizzgig out of leather and fur and I loved it to death from when I was about 3 till it was lost in a house fire when i was 9. Man...I havent thought about that for years..I dont know whether to be sad,happy or vaguely disturbed that as a child THIS is what comforted me.
