Doug Anderson Ventriloquist Figures
Way back some 7 plus years ago I posted a request to everyone to help me find a ventriloquist figure made by Doug Anderson and unfortunately today I still am searching for one. I knew they were a rare figure to find because he didn’t produce for a very long time but I did think one would turn up.
So again I am showing you the pictures of the small catalogue that he put out and I am asking if anyone has or knows where one may be. Today we have a lot more readers than we had 7 years ago so it just might happen.

Brian Hagelgans has been very busy in his workshop creating some fine mechanics on his figures.
He was kind enough to create this video for us to put up on Ventriloquist Central to share with all of you.
