I am always pleased to give accolades when due. Here is a prime example and the accolades go to my dear friend Pete Michaels.
This is the story of ventriloquist Pete Michaels and Woody D. that was the Winner Of The National Board Of Review Of Motion Picture Awards Best Short Subject At The Columbia Film Festival.
I have been contacted again by a few of the advertisers for figures on the Ventriloquist Marketplace about someone trying to make purchases.
The person is using this name Summer Lazarev and if you receive an email from him about making a purchase I am telling you right up front this is a scam.
It is a great time for buying clothing for your ventriloquist figures. I say that because Easter is quickly approaching and this is the season that the large department stores stock up on some very nice dress cloths for children.
Size 4T is the size for most of the ventriloquist figures but you can certainly use 3T and 2T as well if your figure is a bit smaller. Suits today come as a vest, shirt, pants and tie but if you look hard you can also find them with the suit jacket. I think our modern time has kind of left the suit coat behind.
Here is a nice little Frank Marshall ventriloquist figure I call “Happy Guy”. He’s 95% original and in great shape.
Here is a video of Sailor Joe a wonderful Ken Spencer ventriloquist figure that is totally original never having been restored in any way by anyone.
He is 42″ in height and has ball and socket neck with the male connector on the bottom of the head stick which slides into the female connection on the board inside the body to hold the head in place.
