I just wanted to remind everyone that Steve and I will be reporting to all of you here on Ventriloquist Central with all the goings on that occurs at the Vent Haven ConVENTion.
We will of course try to give you a LIVE view of the fun had by everyone. Be sure to check out tomorrow’s blog for the time of the first broadcast and more information.

It is my pleasure to today offer to you this fantastic Ventriloquist figure which was constructed by a mechanical engineer not because he was into doing ventriloquism but he just wanted to see if he could do it.
He purchased a complete rig from Mike Brose and the end result is one of the best mechanical figures out there.
A little while ago I did a blog about the 1966 issue of the toy Jerry Mahoney which was released by Paul Winchell.
Today I would like to continue by showing you the Knucklehead Smiff released by Paul Winchell in 1966.
As you all know by now I had some complications after my cataract surgery. I ended up with two tears in the retina which I had surgery on and thought that would be the end of it. NOPE NOT FOR ME.
Today when I finished with my appearance in court as I was walking to my car I started seeing blood floaters in my right eye. All the other stuff was in my left eye. I just couldn’t believe it. I said to myself” If I didn’t have bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all!”
If you go to the Ventriloquist Central Collection, go to the Frank Marshall section and click on the figure that says 1946 figure (or just click here), this was a figure that was originally owned by Roy Douglas.
You can see that I also have the bill of laden shipping invoice for this figure from Frank Marshall to Roy Douglas.
