My favourite thing is the same as yours @April Brucker, the ability to keep creating. As a child my favourite thing about vent was the figure itself, I had an obsession with figures and puppets. Whenever a family member would ask me to make it talk I would freeze! So as I got older I wanted to do it properly and read some books and I watched some videos on YouTube

@Timothy Spatz thanks! The one on the left is Alex, and the other is grandma :))))

@Glen Hutsell are you familiar with a Ray Guyll? He was a wonderful figure maker and restorer. He had this theory that a lot of vents make the mistake of buying the first figure or puppet that they see, then they can’t find a character for it so it sits in a suitcase and never gets used. Ray has sadly passed now. But wow what an artist.

@Kristina Michelle that’s a great sister you have! Is your little blue monster your first puppet?

Thank you!

Hi Glen, each of my characters have their own personality so they greet in different ways, but my favourite character is my Axtell Turtle, I call him “Sheldon”. Sheldon doesn’t like to come out of his shell at first due to being shy, the kids find it hilarious and you can see the wonder on their face. When Sheldon comes out the child is so eager to bond with him so he greets first. I was interested in learning magic but I only learnt basic card tricks. At one point in my life I was a theatre actor and that’s where I learnt how to improvise the routine if I ever lost my place Ha ha ha! Hope that helps :))

@April Brucker that’s great! Who made the figure? Is he a soft character or a hard character with a head stick?
