This full-body version of Grandpa Matthews is a 42-44" puppet with balding white fur hair, pale pink skin, a wide moustache, and glasses. Full-body puppets have bodies with legs, for use outside the puppet stage or as a ventriloquist figure. The mouth is operated by inserting the hand through the back of the shoulder area. Clothing fabrics vary. The photo shows an example of a large full-body puppet, with Grandpa Matthews pictured at bottom right. This puppet is also available in a small full-body version.

Handcrafted in the USA, this puppet features a new, improved mouth construction for easier movement, durable velour skin, deluxe eyes with painted eyelids, removable clothing, elastic straps in the mouth to provide a firm grip, sewn-in elbows for better rod-arm manipulation, and fabric lined foam body.

This puppet is designed with performance in mind: mouth movement can be seen clearly, it is easy to manipulate, and the larger size is more visible to large audiences. Arm rods are available separately.

Full-body puppets are made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
