HAPPY 40TH SESAME STREET!


Oliver's Creature Shop would like to give a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to 40 wonderful years of Sesame Street! Where would the world be without Big Bird, Oscar, The Count, Grover, Cookie Monster, and of course Ernie & Bert. Not to mention the amazing creative minds behind the scenes from the creators still involved and the genius Muppeteers, especially Carroll Spinney and Jerry Nelson who are part of the original Henson group.

We can only hope for another fabulous 40 years!


Newest CREATURE CLONE on the Block!

Creature Clone Update...


One of the newest members of the Creature Clone series out of Oliver's Creature Shop! The Clone victim, Steve, just turned 40, and his friends were generous enough to indulge in a Creature Clone gift. What a surprise to see a puppet version of yourself when you open the box. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Steve!

Pimp My Puppet


Yes the title says it all. This may be a new section on the website.
After many requests for a Pimp My Puppet, here is the prototype in the fleece. No such thing as color coordination when it comes to this character's outfit!

New Creature Clone!

The Real Jenni and Creature Clone Jenni are by no means a coincidence! A great Mother's Day gift from her loving Husband David. Now the question is, who will supply the voice to the Clone?!?!

New Old Guy on the block!



He's witty, quick and has more energy then most youth! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny! The newest from my custom puppet selection. Johnny is an example of a human-arm style puppet, completely fleeced with invisible seams, custom-tailored human-arm style shirt and vest. Most of the time the simplest way to perform a human-arm style puppet is to have the right arm stuffed and pinned in a natural position, leaving the left arm open for manipulation. 
However if a second puppeteer is available it's great to have both arms functional allowing for more option in movement and also brings much more believability to the character.
