That certainly is a very different type of ventriloquist dummy. I think I would still call it a puppet since you function it with your hand going up inside the head. I wish you could show the controls inside.
This is very unique indeed. I wonder how many other “puppets” or “figures” are built like this? I also agree with Tony, seeing the controls would be interesting.
I wish it were that simple to show the mechanics but the head is attached with the fur cloth that is permanantly adhered to the hard shell underneath so the only way to expose the mechanics would be to litteraly destroy the figure. So unfortunately I can’t show the mechanics to you.
