These are very Muppet-like, very cute. You make some of the best Monster puppets I've seen on MC.

How do you make the eyes? Do you cast them yourself?

Lab Rat, I absoultely love all the puppets we've seen from you on ebay. My favourite would have to be this one and that man puppet you did.

Do you make these especially for ebay? or have they been used for a production and then put on ebay?

I love the eyes on all of your creations, so I echo the question above.

You were brave to make that man puppet with the seam right down the front of the face... this puppet fascinated me the most. I am currently in pre-production for a film which the main character will look in the same style as your "gentleman" puppet. I question the construction of the nose, if you check this out. I had trouble with the nose since I did my best to limit the amount of corners to make it look as round as possible. Can you give me an insight into your nose? AHEM I mean your puppet's nose.

All the best,
David.

Hey Lab Rat! Your puppets are so amazing! My Hubby Ray and I are the ones who had you build us the custom Alien puppet. I believe he sent the payment for it today; via pay pal. I Can't wait to show him off to everyone!


Lab Rat's Ebay puppets have impressed me so much, that I have been inspired to give 'muppet-style' puppet making a try. (I'm in the middle of my first puppet right now)

Like I said, I just purchased a custom puppet from Lab Rat and I highly recommend everyone to check out his puppet auctions (past and present)

So far there are only 3 puppet makers online, that I feel worthy enough to make me cough up the cash for their creations. Lab Rat is one of them. I have spent over $800.00 this month on 3 custom 'muppet-style' puppets (an Alien dude from Lab Rat) and I think I'm hooked now!

Lab Rat's characters are about the closest you are going to come to getting a 'Henson quality' character of your very own.

Hey Lab Rat, you need to setup a puppet website to show off all your beautiful creatures!! :smile: -Mia
