Arrangement of Ventriloquist Central Collection

Posted on July 2, 2010 by Webmaster

I have been thinking about rearranging the Ventriloquist Central Collection. I know you are asking yourself “Why?” and there is no exact answer but I have the figures all inter dispersed so as to break up the makers and mix them up but I am thinking that maybe it would be nice to arrange them by maker.

You know Frank Marshall figures together, Mack figures together, Spencer figures together ect ect..

What do you think? Should I do this? Then I could take pictures of collections of each maker. Give me your thoughts.

Ventriloquist Central Figure Collection

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Webmaster

Comments come in to me on a regular basis thanking me for sharing the Ventriloquist Central Collection with the public. I am of course always appreciative of these comments as this love of the ventriloquist figure of mine just has to be shared. How else can I put it ?

When Steve and I first got together to do the web site it was to showcase the ventriloquist figure collection I had put together at that time. I wanted everyone who had a love of ventriloquism to be able to see them at anytime day or night twenty four seven.

The web site was the only way. Of course the web site has grown to much more and it is a true labor of love between Steve and me.

I have tried to show each figure from all angles and give history and data on each one. It is only fair that you as the onlooker should have all the information on each piece.

I have done a series of videos for Ventriloquist Central and will keep doing them unabated so that you get to see each figure working and moving. I myself love showing all of you these great works of art. Why else would you collect if you were not going to share your collection.

So keep checking in as new items get added to the collection all the time and if you are in the Boston area make sure you contact me so that you can come by and see the collection in person.

Mystery Ventriloquist 06-28-10

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Webmaster

It has been a while since we did a mystery ventriloquist. Last month, Dan Christopher was correct in guess the mystery ventriloquist as Walter Walters Jr. (Click here to see the last mystery ventriloquist)

So it is again time for you to put on your thinking cap and see if you can identify this ventriloquist. See if you can also give his figures names.
