What we charge for puppets…

Experience the art of puppetry, I believe in transparency and open communication. Custom puppet characters require time, specific tools, and quality materials. To ensure clarity, I’ve provided my starting costs for a puppet, which can vary based on the complexity of the work involved. Additional features and mechanisms may incur additional costs as well. Embark on your puppetry journey with confidence by reaching out to me for a personalized quote.

For those seeking a custom character for commercial purposes, prices begin at $2000 and are subject to variation depending on the intricacy of the design and costuming requirements.
