Timon costume like Broadway

[hstraw2424]

I need to make a Timon costume that is a puppet and connected to the actor and whose shoulders, elbows and wrists are moveable. Any ideas how to do this easily?

I would think that you would need something like rods (wooden or metal) to move the shoulders and such for the actor to use to manipulate the limbs. And the joints on the limbs would have to be loose enough to move easily with those, kind of like this:

I'm not sure if by "connected to the actor" you mean worn like a costume, or rather the actor is wearing the puppet on their hand, but I'm sure the folks here at RPF can help you out in either event.
