Ventriloquist Dummy "Uncle Joe"




Here he is! Introducing Uncle Joe! The newest ventriloquist dummy character from MontanaDan. This figure features a new cast head with sculpted hair and eyebrows, moving mouth, and side to side moving eyes. He is quite a character, and loads of fun.

Ventriloquist Character Update





All in all, I think my newest character is turning out pretty well. Here are a few pictures so far. Keep in mind he still needs a final coat of paint, and the controls and headstick still need to be installed, but he is looking pretty good so far. MontanaDan

Ventriloquist Figure Headcast






I just finished the mold and cast of my new ventriloquist figure character. This one turned out quite nice. I think this guy will be a great addition to my line up. I ended up changing the hair and making it a bit shorter and closer to the head, I like it better. Check out the pictures, hope you enjoy them. MontanaDan
