Hey, thanks for the compliments! Puppet Master was my main focus for props originally. I bought the trunk for $65 bucks at an antique store. There wasn't a brand anywhere on it that I saw, but its 40 inches high, and about 20.5 inches across. The width on the right half is slightly smaller than the other.
I built all the puppets and have a lot more pictures on www.freewebs.com/patpm. Most are all original castings, with the exception of Torch and Tunneler. Tunneler was sculpted by a friend of mine and the Torch head is from Fullmoon Direct. The trunk originally had the the puppets go into the drawers on one side to make then fit in it in the films, but I improvised to let them stand instead. And being that the replicas I have are all about 20 or more inches, I wanted to be able to fit them all in it.
The Comedy/Tragedy faces were traded for a Mephisto I'm working on for the production designer for PM9: AXIS OF EVIL, which is where they came from.
I based this trunk off the one from Puppet Master 4 and 5, and the beginning of Curse. I was able to get pretty close to what was originally used and I think turned out pretty damn cool!
I plan on taking a lot better pics soon to post on my site, I just don't have good lighting at the moment.

Also, when you do... could you post a screencap or two of the screen used trunk? It's been a long time since I've seen those movies.

I'll see if I can get a screen-cap of the screen-used one. Lighting sucks in the movies when it shows it except part 1, where its all close-ups of it. You should check out the new one, looks a hell of a lot different than the original... Here's a pic of the new trunk...and some of the new puppets, they've all been pretty much redesigned.
And here's a link to the teaser. They revamped a lot of the puppets...
