Professional Ventriloquist Figures

    Danett Caryer says... It was a wonderful day here. I got home home from taking my Mother and Daughters out for lunch and then the mail man pulled in my drive way so I went out to see what he wanted (YES it was my little man). He is every thing I have ever dreamed of and more, you've done a perfect job and he was worth the wait. He seem's so real I love him, you are so blessed to have the talent you have. I just wanted to say THANK YOU! You made a 50 year old lady's childhood dream come true and I am sure we will make a lot of people happy together, young and old. Thanks again. You and your wife are wonderful people.

   Take care and God bless you both!

   Best wishes.

    Mark Rowe says...    Hi Mike..., he just arrived! He looks awesome!! It will sure take some practice working all the levers. My 'Jack Russells' either want to play with him or kill him, I'll have to find a good hiding place. Job well done!

   Thanks

    John Foster says... Hi Mike..., just to let you know that I have just received the (O.G.) Hargrove figure this afternoon. He is awesome- wonderful quality. I like his slightly reddish completion- quite natural since "Gus" is a local farmer. It will take me a while to "get to know him" and to bring him to his full potential, as I have been use to using a more cartoonish figure with only mouth movement. Congratulations on a fine piece of work!

   Once I get use to the "new Gus", I'll send you a video clip.

   All the best,

   John

    Professional photographer Robert Bruce says... Mike, I attached some photos of me and my new friend. Everyone is amazed at the work you did. Thank you again and I will for sure get my next one from you as well.

    Roland Chan says... Hi Mike!!!

   The figure arrived, and HE IS WONDERFUL!!! WORTH THE WAIT!!!

   MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO IS A FAN OF MARY POPPINS, IS INSISTING THE FIGURE BE RENAMED "Jolly Holiday" a boy from Manchester, England.

   Certainly good possibilities for this character. I love the mechanics, Mike. They are a dream!!!!! I love your paint job as well on our new figure Jolly; he is going to be spectacular for my work with the kids, close-up at nursing homes, etc.

   I love talking and working with you Mike. Your are the best!!!

   God bless.

   Regards,

   Roland

    Nicklas Berg says... Hi Mike. So Eddie has arrived. He is incredibly beautiful. I have the photographer here next week, and I will send a picture to you.

Thank you for the wonderful work!

Best regards, Nicklas Berg

    Follow up: Nicklas sent us the above promo photo recently with him and Eddie. It looks like they will be performing on TV in Denmark! Cool! Nicklas performs ventriloquism and magic.

    Brian Carpenter says...... Here he is. I feel so proud. If you need a puppet, then Puppets and Props is the place and Mike is just the man for the job!

Thanks Mike for Quality.

    Tony Silveus says... Mike, Otis (O. G. Hargrove figure) arrived this afternoon. I was at a meeting when he was delivered and my wife was going to open him up to surprise me, but she wasn't sure, so didn't. I'm glad because I didn't want her to see him until I've had a chance to get used to his controls (he is my first hard figure). I've got a special introduction of him to her worked out but I need a little practice first. She will be real surprised at what I have worked out. It will be well worth a couple days wait! He looks great, even better than I had expected!

    Follow up: Tony says.... The introduction to my wife went great! I had him sing 'Hey, hey good lookin' by Hank Williams, that was the first song she learned as a little girl and always been her favorite! She loved it!

Thanks Mike,

Tony

    Customer Larry Bailey and I talked for some time so he could get exactly what he wanted in this slightly customized version of an O.G. Hargrove figure. This figure's name is now Max Mach, who is a retired airline pilot! Larry requested white hair, matching handlebar mustache, up/down eyebrows, and individual winkers.

    Larry Bailey says.... "I received Max today and am really pleased with him. As soon as I feel confident enough to do a short video routine, I will be glad to forward it to you. Also, please feel free to use Max (or Max AND me) any way you choose on your web site, or wherever else you want. We will both be proud to represent you any way we can! Thanks again Mike, great job!"

    "I appreciate the info on the operation of the controls and appreciate the advice on "shaking hands". My vent course mentions the same thing about people being careless with my figure. When I get good at it, we can discuss the addition of a pal for Max. I already have in mind a younger "co-pilot" type named, Reginald Half Fast. Anyway, I am getting WAAAAY ahead of things here, I need to get reasonably good with Max first!"

Thanks Mike,

Larry

Performer Billy James says.... "I was absolutely floored by the brilliance of this figure. I know you said he was nice, but I had no idea! He really is a wonderful work of art. Both my family and I instantly fell in love with the little guy! ......he is worth every single cent I have spent and a LOT more besides, in fact for me he is priceless!"

    "I searched for so long for a figure and I contacted a lot of figure makers and weighed up all of the facts and such, but none of the figures I looked at compare to him, he is perfect! He has just the 'look' that I was hoping for."

    "......the blinkers', they are absolutely brilliant! A lot of the figures I have seen have blinkers that don't seem to close all the way, or blinkers that are partly down when the eye is open (makes the figure look slightly drunk <G>). But these blinkers are the best I have seen, I don't know how you did it, but it must have been a lot of extremely intricate work, I can't rave enough about them."

    "The mechanics are all super smooth and as quiet as a particularly introverted mouse. The paint work really is exquisite. Mike has put so much effort into the painting of this figure and it really makes him look (like) a million bucks. I could honestly write a chapter about each of the attributes of this figure, he is just fantastic! You have a VERY satisfied customer here Mike, thanks a million."
