We have watched young Ventriloquists for a while and how they struggle to get started in the Vent world. The thing that makes it the hardest for them is that most of the time, they have very limited budgets for getting puppets to get started with.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Most of the time these younger Vents are forced to settle with puppets that are to say the least, &#8220;inferior&#8221; and look it.<\/p>\n<p>What we have decided to do is put out a line of fully professional puppets at a very much reduced price. In the past we have attempted to do something like this, and immediately those puppets were snatched up by adults who just wanted to get inexpensive puppets.<\/p>\n<p>There are two things about this new line of puppets that are different. First, we will do duplicates of each of these puppets.<\/p>\n<p>Second, if you are an adult, you can simply assume that your hand is too big for the neck sleeve and the head. These puppets are built for the younger generation of Vents 13 and younger. We will sell them to an adult, but just understand that you must have a small hand.<\/p>\n<p>What will distinguish this line of puppets from others? The catalog number of the puppet will begin with a &#8220;K&#8221;. There will be a new section in the catalog called &#8220;Kids&#8221; Unlike other sections that are exclusively for &#8220;Animals&#8221;, &#8220;Boys&#8221;, &#8220;Girls&#8221; etc., the &#8220;Kids&#8221; section will have all types of puppets to choose from. It might have an Animal. It might have an old lady. You get the point. All of them will be in the lower price range and will be built to fit a smaller hand.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these new puppets is featured this week. It is named &#8220;Mini Monkey&#8221;. More to follow.<\/p>\n<p>We will talk again next week.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something New Mini Monkey We have been wanting to do something for a while.
