This is a one of a kind rather loaded ventriloquist figure made by Las Vegas performer Lou Dupont. I purchased a lot of ventriloquist heads and this figure was among the lot. I was surprised because the other heads were done by casting in fiberglass but this fellow is a combination or wood and plastic wood.
He stands 40″ tall and has the following functions, slot jaw, one eye moves to the side, winkers and blinkers, raiding eyebrows and also smoke blows out the ears. His paint is all original as is his hair.
This is a great character in my opinion and a great earlier style ventriloquist figure.
