"Mike Brose's book arrived at my house today. A wonderful book. A monumental achievement. This book will be known as the authoritative work on the subject. Anyone who is interested in building figures and doesn't have this book is really missing out. The diagrams are great. Only trouble is now I don't know which way to go. I want to try it all. Congratulations, Mike for such a crowning achievement."

"I just got my copy of Mike Brose's fantastic new book on figure making. My original reason for purchasing it was as additional research for my own book (Dummy Days) on Bergen, Lewis, Nelson, Wences and Winchell, but upon looking over it I am inspired to try my hand at making a figure...NOT to perform with, just to learn first hand the ins and outs of the art. It's a great book and I can't imagine any vent oriented collection being without it. Great job, Mike!

Review in Puppetry Journal ('Puppeteers of America'), "In its 200 pages this book ('Figure Making Can Be Fun?!?') covers all the steps involved in the creation of ventriloquist figures, from planning through, sculpting through mold making, casting, painting and finishing. What boggles the mind is the depth of the information and instruction. For every stage of production, Mr. Brose provides several alternative methods: you can sculpt in clay (several kinds) but how about wax and foam; you can make a mold in plaster (one-piece, two piece, multiple pieces) but how about silicone rubber or fiberglass. And so on. Mr. Brose deals with each process in such clear and practical detail that you quickly realize" ........ (click here to read the whole review)
