Anyone have any good links for materials? I basically looking for any and all info on what materials you guys think I should use.

I need a Pepe to sit with the Master Replicas Muppets...once I get those...someday.

But it I could make him work, that would be great too. I've never made a puppet like him, all of mine so far have been Muppet styled puppets that you put your hands up and work.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

An easy way to make the mechanism for a puppet like Pepe is to buy a fish hook remover (you can find these in the fishing section at Wal-Mart usually). It works like a trigger and the part that opens and closes could be used for his mouth.

Also, if you search for "rod puppet" or "Pepe" here in the puppetry forum you'll find a number of old threads that will be helpful.
