Manual and Animatronic Puppets
Blinking Puppets, Puppets with Moving Eyebrows, Arm Rods and More
In addition to talking puppets, we offer blinking eye puppets, puppets with moving eyebrows, puppets with moving fingers and hands, wiggling ears, twitching noses… you name it! Moving eyebrows add huge charisma and potential for expression to puppets, and can take your performance into a different league.
We offer manual lever operated mechanisms as well as animatronic puppets.
Our standard hand puppets come with a moving mouth – but we can add any combination of extras. Here are some common ones – if you’ve dreamed up something that isn’t listed here, feel free to ask!

We love working on extra mechanisms for our puppets, because the add an extra dimension to the process and makes the puppets much more life like. Our blinking eye puppets take days and days, because their eyelids have to be wired and hemmed with tiny stitches, but it’s always worth it in the end to see a puppet that blinks!
