Here's a question you don't get every day

Anyone know of a mini that has a hand puppet?

I was just painting a BB Beastman tonight... you know the three-armed guy with two arms in the air?... yeah, him... anyhoo, after I was done I was thinking he sure would look sharp with a puppet dangling from the arm that's highest in the air.

Maybe like a Kermit the Frog. But really, any puppet will do.

I'm no good with green stuff, so my only option is to snip a puppet from another mini, if that's possible.

So...

Is it possible? Is there a puppet-weilding mini out there?

Heh-heh... ooh, that has possibilities.

Thank you. The puppet's great. Love the guy with the fish, too.

Anyone have a suggestion for other minis with puppets (or other weird items)?

You could always search for familiars from RPG ranges and find some good puppets...

That's a very good idea.

I shall commence with the search.

GW used to have an assortment of familiars, not sure if u can get them anymore. I also seem to recall some mini had a marionette, but i could be mistaken.

Goblin shaman has a voodoo doll tied to his staff... (mine is painted like a referee

)

Goblin jester (OOP) has a similar hand puppet to Mordheim figure above, but model is hard to come by as it is an old Quest model..

I've actually got the Goblin Jester... snapped him up back in '95 (or was it '96?) when the Orc & Goblin set came out for WQ. The Black Orc in the collection is on my BB team, as is the Jester.

Didn't know about the gobbo with the staff, so I'll look into that.

And thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. I'll try to take a pic of my mini eventually... I'm not the best painter though. Not even close.

But that's not always the point, is it? It's all about fun, and a three-armed, holstein-patterned Beastman mutant with a hand puppet is a lot of fun in my estimation.

Thanks. I looked up the link, and...

... I love the one in the top left. But there's no way to tell the scale. I'm guessing it'd be about half the height of the Beastman, which would be way too big.

Maybe I'll fire off an e-mail to find out.

EDIT: The Magnificent Egos message board says the puppets are about 22mm.

2ND EDIT: Maybe I will get out the green stuff and try a sock puppet. I mean... I can try, and if it doesn't turn out, no big deal, you know?
