PUPPET: Roswell the Alien

STYLE: Muppet / Sillman Design*

MATERIALS: The body construction is from 1/2" foam. He's made with two different types of green fleece: his head and arms are one color while his body and hands are a slightly lighter color. His eye stalks are wooden dowels covered in fleece, while the feathers are from a feathered boa.

SIZE: About 20 Inches Tall (Regular Size Puppet), measuring to his eyes; his arms are about 24 Inches Long

FEATURES: His arms are what really make this puppet come to life. The hands are heavy enough that if you let them dangle and lean him out just slightly, they won't cling to the body and give him a hunched look that fits his alien design. His arms are long and easily manipulated; while he does NOT come with an arm rod, if you add one to one (or both!) hands you will be able to do a lot! His arms have bends in the middle for easy use. You can definitely display a lot of emotion with this guy.

NOTES: Arm rod not included (but available for purchase). The only note I have is that he's awesome and I already have family members fighting to keep him. :) Seriously, though, he's an extremely comfortable puppet to use and has so much expression. He might be my most expressive puppet I've made to date. Comes with a giant Ziploc storage bag to help keep the puppet clean.

SHIPPING: Please note the following on shipping: for completed puppets I usually have items shipped within 1-2 days. For 'blanks', same deal if you just want the blank, but if you want me to add the features expect to add a few days depending on what you want done. On complete from scratch custom orders, it depends on what you are having me build but most regular size puppets take me 3-5 days, with larger ones taking longer.

I will ship internationally but please be aware that due to my work schedule it might be up to a week while I rearrange my schedule to make it to the post office. But I will do my best to minimize any delays.

I DO combine on shipping and do my best to get it as close to actual costs as I can. If shipping ends up being cheaper than quoted I'll refund the difference.

*What's a Sillman Design? No, it isn't some special Puppetry slang or term used in the industry. It's actually just what I call this particular design of puppet. When I design puppets, I make templates to re-use for future ones. One template can make dozens or even hundreds of different types of puppets! After making a puppet for my dad, he named it "Sillman", after a member of his clown club. I liked the idea, so to honor the members of the Kansas City Clowns I started naming certain puppet designs after different members of the club. That's all it is! ^__^
