The Eye Of The Ventriloquist Figure Builder
A lot of questions come to me about the fact that builders of ventriloquist figures take inordinate amounts of time to build figures for customers and I am not going to disagree with them. I myself having been in the antique business, most notably antique clocks, have always used repairmen to fix and or restore old clocks. That includes both the mechanics and wood workings.
The folks that do this work are craftsmen for sure but as the proceed and develop their skills you can actually say they become artists. When they get to that level, an artist, that is when it takes the longest to get an item done. You see as they become better and better they see more and more of the flaws and they must eliminate them. Now to us lay people we may never see these imperfections that they see but they are there.
Ventriloquist Central Collection Video Series – Bob McElroy Marshall Figure
Here’s a video of Bob McElroy’s Frank Marshall ventriloquist figure. Frank Marshall carved this figure for a ventriloquist named Bob McElroy. Bob used quite a few Marshall’s in his act. This Marshall has side to side self centering eyes, double winkers, raising eyebrows, upper lip smile and slot jaw. He was repainted by Johnny Main.
