More information below.       BASIC VENTRILOQUIST DUMMIES The basic dummies have a stuffed body with plastic head and hands and have a string in the back of the neck that you pull to make the mouth move. These dummies are approximately 30" tall except for Lester who is 26" and Laurel and Hardy who are 24". Great for collectors and fun for kids, but somewhat tough to use in performance and the heads do not turn on these dolls. The eyes do not move and hair is plastic. Unlike many other companies that might sell these characters, our basic ventriloquist dummies come in their own vinyl carrying case!

Before you consider buying an upgraded Famous Character dummy from someone else, consider that... Our upgraded mouth mechanisms are created with springs, metal and wood pieces. Others use materials like rubber bands and elastic. Our hard hollow bodies are all wood wrapped with material. Others use some or no wood with cardboard or have only a partial shell. Our head posts are made of wood, not the pvc (plastic) parts that others use. Before you consider buying from someone else, we suggest you ask about these important issues.     CLICK HERE TO CHECK AVAILABILITY.    Click to go to: Basic Dummies Standard Upgrades Deluxe Upgrades Super Deluxe Upgrades Limited Collector's Edition Opening Night Series Upgrades Standard & Deluxe Upgrade Converted Female Dummies Books, Videos, DVD's & Cases Marionettes Hand Puppets
