MOTHER HUBBARD (10101)

This is old Mother Hubbard. She’s run up a tab as thick as a deck of cards in almost every shop in town. Her cupboard may be bare, but she's sure her ship is about to come in. You may have already met her precious little dog, Toby. If you ask her, that dog’s so sweet he poops taffy, but I don’t think the neighbors concur. Certainly not the Constable, but she’s known him since he was a little troublemaker himself, so she can usually smooth over any misunderstandings. Rumor has it Hubbard’s fallen in with some shady cats downtown, but I wouldn’t believe everything you hear. She is 14 inches tall and has movable arms. She is available here by herself or in a PUPPET SET with five of her companions.

DOCTOR (10103)

The Doctor is one of those people who always seem like they’re about to sneeze. Never seen him do it though. He doesn’t get out much -- except, of course, when the Czar is in town with his giggling gaggle of available daughters. When he’s not trying to improve his social status, you’ll find the Doctor locked up in his study. I have no idea what he’s up to in there and I don’t want to know. I suppose he spends most of his time distilling that Miracle Elixir he’s always hawking to anyone with so much as a hangnail. I tried it once. Good stuff. The Doctor is 18 inches tall and has movable arms. He is available here by himself or in a PUPPET SET with five of his companions.

CONSTABLE (10104)

The Constable keeps the peace in town and he takes his duty very seriously. In such a small town, he’s the Judge, Jury and Executioner. He’s got his eye on everyone--the Cabby, the Doctor, that pain-in-the-butt dog with the smirk. No one is above suspicion. Especially when it’s his job to protect sweet, innocent, adorable little ladies like Mother Hubbard. Not that the Constable would allow his heart to interfere with his work. He might allow his stomach to, though. One thing I’ve learned about “justice” in this town is that there’s no wrong that can’t be made right with a plump sausage or a freshly baked pie. The Constable is 16 inches tall and has movable arms. He is available here by himself or in a PUPPET SET with five of his companions.

ALIEN CABBY (10105)

The Cabby’s not from around here, but he knows this town like the back of his tentacle. He’ll take you wherever you need to go -- even to the moon if you've got the fare -- just don’t expect lively conversation on the way. He’s a hard worker who’ll try anything to make an honest buck -- from selling fish to installing satellite TV. I guess no job is too small when you’re trying to make your way in a foreign town where everybody talks nonsense, and when you don’t understand, they make even less sense, only louder. As if the problem is his hearing. I mean, I don’t think he even has ears. The Cabby is 16 inches tall and has movable arms. He is available here by himself or in a PUPPET SET with five of his companions.

TOBY DOG (10102)

Hear that racket? No, that’s not a police raid on the music shop (although it’s just a matter time.) That’s Mother Hubbard’s dog, Toby. He’s probably got his nose into trouble again. He’s not a bad dog, per se. I mean, he’s never attacked anyone as far as I know--except for the Doctor, but I might be inclined to attack him myself on an off day. You see, Toby’s a bit of a jokester. He is the little dog who laughed, after all, so he’s really going to rub you the wrong way if you have no sense of humor. And apparently nobody in town has a sense of humor. Toby is 8 inches tall and has a movable mouth which is usually full of a bone (included). He is available here by himself or in a PUPPET SET with five of his companions.

LUCY CAT (10106)

Uh oh. See that cat? The one with the bum eye, playing the fiddle for pennies by the bus stop? That’s Lucy. Better check your wallet and hide your pet fish, ‘cuz she’s bad news. Don’t let that sad tune fool you -- she’s been giving the slip to the Constable since she was lapping sour milk from an old tambourine with the rest of her unfortunate litter. She’s in with that shifty band of alley cats who caterwaul behind the music shop at all hours of the night. On Thursdays they hold closed door “Knitting Club” meetings. That’s what the sign says anyway. Lucy is 11 inches tall and has movable arms. He is available here by himself or in a PUPPET SET with five of his companions.

YORICK THE JESTER (2894)

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!" Prince Hamlet goes on to discribe this fellow in Act 5, Scene 1, of Shakespeare's play Hamlet, but he gets it all wrong. Yorick here is indeed a jester and a fancy one at that. But the point that he is an 18 inch Hand Puppet with movable mouth and hands is completely missed. To see more detailed proof, just click on his picture.

#2504 PIRATE

"Avast ye lubbers...and a hearty hi ho to ye... I do be speakin' to Puppet Lubbers do I not? No matter here, me laddies... ye've never met the like o' yours truly.

At 12 inches, I tower over ye land swabs... those of ye that are 11 inches tall that is... and I have a handsome movable head and wild expressive arms. I'm also very modest.
