The Evil Genius

A hugely successful character from our family show The Chatterbox, the Evil Genius is a rather pathetic villain who likes to wear his slippers whilst trying to dominate the world! Made from latex, the Evil Genius has a surprising resemblance to Kevin Spacey with a hair cut!

The Big Bad Wolf

This puppet is one of our most ambitious attempts to try and make a fully articulated animal, which can walk on two legs and be operated by just one puppeteer. A mixture of latex, fake fur and foam were used to create him with specially adapted slippers attached to the Wolf’s feet, which the puppeteer wears to make him walk. The Dancing Bear in Houdini’s Suitcase was made using a similar technique with a harness built into his back, which the puppeteer wears to distribute the enormous weight of the puppet!

Mr Jones

Without a doubt Mr Jones is THE most popular puppet we have created! A hit with Primary School children and teachers alike, Mr Jones has a slightly cheeky approach to puppetry in education. From taking the register to holding assembly, Mr Jones commands the attention of everyone he meets! Originally designed to be one of our workshop puppets made from carved foam and chamois leather. Mr Jones is a half bodied puppet that is operated by two puppeteers, one to operate his head and left hand, and the other the puppeteer the right hand.
