The Dummy Doctor

TO OUR FILM AND TV PRODUCTION FRIENDS: Our studio is still open and available for select projects, contract services, and consultations for FILM, TV, and COMMERCIAL production projects; if you are with a production company or agency and have inquiries regarding our work for upcoming projects, please email us!

Thanks for checking in periodically while we have been taking a breather to reflect a bit and do a "re-think" on how best to offer our services to 
the vent community.  The demand for our figures has always outpaced our capacity since all of our figures are one-of-a-kind, handbult from scratch
and a bit of a sabbatical was neccessary.



We sell only one-of-a-kind, custom figures on a very limited basis. We do not currently have any finished figures available for sale, 
and due to other show-biz commitments it seems unlikely that we will have any available at least until late spring of 2010.We build these 
"ready to go" figures during down time, with our contract custom services taking priority. 

While we had  suspended any taking of new custom orders  from the ventriloquial community for a while in order to concentrate on our 
Film, TV, and Theatre work (not to mention a couple of long standing orders), we might consider a few orders for 
new work (on a signed contract basis only, at premium prices).  >>>>However since we are selective about the work we accept, please note that 
we do require an extensive interview prior to considering the accepting of any new orders for custom work.
