Ventriloquist figure maker Tim Cowles now has wood head kits available. If you ever wanted to make a ventriloquist figure out of wood, but have no carving skills, this just might be the answer you’re looking for.
The face shown is available, you can keep him as a boy, girl, or add wrinkles to turn him into a great gramps character.
When it comes to collecting you must remember to set limits to where you want your collection to go. This is why I decided that for the most part I wanted just wood carved figures. You see there is such an array of different styles and types of materials that were used to make figures that I had to choose for myself what direction I wanted to go.
Now I have purchased many figures made of other materials besides wood and usually those figures I have bought and sold. There are a couple exceptions to my rule for myself , the McElroy figures are one and also the Insull figures. They are great figures which were made from wood dough and paper mache.

I was talking with a ventriloquist friend of mine the other day when the subject of “How does one protect the value of their ventriloquist figure?”
As a collector it is always asked if insurance is needed. My answer is that in most cases insurance is a must. A collector can certainly become insurance poor but key items in any collection must be appraised and then insurance taken. Those key items are usually irreplaceable.
