I was recently asked to create a new puppet for Don-Con, a tribute to legendary mask maker Don Post and company. I decided to make a puppet for one of the most iconic masks ever, the 'Calendar' Frankenstein! It is hand rotational molded, so it is hollow and functions as a puppet. The body is printed fabric and was manufactured by Lance Thingmaker. One of the coolest projects I have EVER gotten to be involved with!
BUT: I underestimated the demand! All of the puppets made for Don-Con are sold out! We are going to begin taking preorders for a 2nd version of this Frankenstein puppet. The body will be more of a classic monster style, in order to keep the Don-Con version exclusive! You can sign up below if you want to get notified when preorders are up, just send me your name and email. I expect to get this going in the next few weeks, so keep an eye on your inboxes (and spam folders).

Here is a photo of the original mask, next to my scaled down puppet head version! Bub Johnson made this image, I just stole it from him.
