New member to my growing puppet family

Right after ordering my other rodent puppets, I ordered a red dragon puppet from Folkmanis.com. It took much longer to arrive than the others, but it came today!

Yay!



Let me introduce... Chomps.

He's from Hong Kong. His mother was Chinese and his father was from the UK. He has a rough attitude because my family doesn't like him AT ALL and I don't understand why. So he's not a cute and cuddly mouse. Who cares?

Ah, well.

The only problem is that my hands are too small to properly operate the mouth so it's constantly hanging open. My fingers barely reach his eyes so I can't close the mouth properly. (Both Mike at Taco John's and my youngest brother, Chris, can do this, but then again, they're guys and their hands are MUCH larger than mine. It's not fair.)

Another reason his mouth doesn't close all the way is that his teeth are not quite aligned which makes it look like he needs some serious dental care.

Poor Chomps! I still like you!

Heh, I'm glad they still have the Wolf puppets (both the Big Bad and Timber varities) on sale on their site. Haven't seen any wolves in stores that carry Folkmanis lately. I like the dragon, I'm rather fond of Chinese and Asian dragons, because they're more elegant and attractive than the majority of the Western dragon varieties. Even if they've been Disney-fied like Mushu from Mulan, I still find 'em cute.

I agree - Chinese and Asian dragons are far more elegant than the Western variety. I just wish my hands were big enough to properly move his mouth. *sigh*
