Description
This is a generic humanoid push puppet, for use with a metal spring that measures roughly 10.5mm OD and 30mm long and produces about 5 lbs of force when fully compressed. There are some notes about using this model with other springs, see below.
The head and arms are mounted on flat-bottomed "buttons" that should make it somewhat easier to string and tension the puppet. You can also swap out the head and arm pieces at will.
There is also a space for a plaque which you can customize with your own message.
