    Aug 2, 2012 - What kind of puppet is this? #1
    I was looking to find a specific name of those puppets that you connect to your feet and walk with and you move them with your body using polls and rods.

    Kind of like this one. I'm trying to find the best way to do the joints for one such puppet. Working on Earthworm Jim!
