The puppets are great! The price went up....he was struggling and had to raise his prices, but the quality is very good. The mouth pieces are a little stiff at first and a little hard to move, but if you ask him to soften the mouth plate he will. Mike is a great puppet maker and I LOVE all the puppets I have ordered from him. ALOT of the other "professional" puppets makers out there, have some competition...I just wish they were more fleece and foam...but overall 4 1/2 stars...great stuff! prices are anywhere from $99 to $249, and you can get them with legs or without.
