Fashioned in bright green stretchy spandex with felt pinchers and gossamer wings, she is cute as a bug. And though she looks saintly, posed as she often is in the position of prayer, she's actually more of a “preying” mantis, hunting and killing small garden pests for her food. The puppet allows realistic insect-like movements that will delight bug lovers and junior entomologists everywhere. Launch date: January 2007. ―“I like Folkmanis a lot because everything always comes on time,” Owner Mary Sisson of Kazoodles in Vancouver, Wash., told TDmonthly in spring 2007. “We made an order with them at one of the shows, and they split the order so it doesn't all come at once. They're just real easy to work with.” 3/29/2007 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]  MSRP: $44.00 Age: 3 and up Category: Puppets Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 7010 This gorgeous bird spread its tail feathers for the first time early in 2006. The tail of this 18” hand puppet can be manipulated into a magnificent display. As with all of Folkmanis’ puppets, the peacock is high quality and durable. Folkmanis puppets have won many awards from respected toy evaluators such as Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Dr. Toy, Parent's Choice and iParenting Media. — "We sell a lot of Folkmanis puppets. People buy so much," was the enthusiastic response given by Barbara Fineblum, owner of Barston’s Child’s Play in Baltimore, Md.. — "Puppets by Folkmanis: Parents like them because of the price and they have a lot of choice for children in terms of stocking stuffers. I sell a lot of Folkmanis," said Marilyn Sipila, owner of Toys Etc. in Poulsbo, Wash. — Elaine Kollias of Folkmanis believes the Peacock puppet will be their biggest hit for the Holidays 2006. "It's been stellar since it was introduced in the spring," she said. "The extraordinary use of fabrics, colors and textures along with the innovative puppet movement is what makes this a very 'special bird.'"  MSRP: $44 Age: 3 and up Category: Puppets Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 6001 Folkmanis’ low-tech puppet innovation adds a new dimension to puppetry in 2006 with the introduction of the pull-ring animator, a patent-pending device inserted into puppets that gives them a more realistic appearance with a very simple finger movement. Measuring 20" long, the Elephant is a majestic pachyderm that incorporates the animator to lift and move the trunk to give this mini-version of the jungle's biggest beast very realistic motion. Designed with realistic touches, ultra-soft micro-fiber fabric, and a movable mouth this iParenting Media Award-winning elephant is super-soft and super-squeezable. 12/15/2005 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] |
