This is a Finis Robinson figure that just came in to the Ventriloquist Central Collection on a deal and I am happy to offer it to you today for the price of a toy conversion figure.
He is full size and stands 42″ tall he has some sort of cast hands and cast lower legs. The body is of all wood construction and very nice. ( I almost decided to keep the body ) The head is very heavy thick plastic wood and he has slot jaw side to side self centering eyes and raising eyebrows.
I was practicing on my guitar the other day and my son, Jason picked up the video camera and started recording.
This is called “Darn That Dream.”
Ventriloquist figure maker, Dan Lavender is one of today’s finest figure makers. His figures are truly outstanding.
On his website he shares diagrams of ventriloquist figure mechanics. Check them out:
I had a great time showing the Ventriloquist Central Collection. Andy is a professional Magician and Ventriloquist and he himself has a wonderful collection but he had a great time looking over the collection.
I have been asked many times which one of my figures is my favorite and believe me that is a hard question to answer because I love them all but….if I had to say which Frank Marshall creation is my favorite I must say that the Marshall Nosey that originally was owned by Jimmy Jedry, known as Little Eddie II, is my favorite.
I give this reason for my decision and that is, after making my first trip to the Vent Haven Museum and seeing The Nosey that belonged to Terry Bennett named Red Flannels, I said someday I hope to own a Marshall as nice as that one.
