Well it seems that every year up till about 6 years ago the Vent Haven Convention always had a separate group photo for all those that came with their Frank Marshall figures. I unfortunately never made it in time so that I could get into that picture. Also I do think that the gain in popularity of the soft puppet kind of brought an end to a lot of hard figures coming to convention.
So I had a great idea !!! We are going to create a “Frank Marshall Group” page on Ventriloquist Central.
If you still have a Frank Marshall figure even if you no longer use it, maybe because of value, PLEASE take a picture of yourself with the Marshall figure. If you have more than one Marshall figure you can send a picture of you with each one or do a group shot, whichever you prefer.
Send the pictures to us and we will put them up to showcase everyone who owns one of Frank’s creations. Just send them to Steve the webmaster at webmaster@ventriloquistcentral.com .
This should be fun and I am sure everyone will want to see you and your Marshall(s).
