help Folkmanis Monkey Puppet FAQ
What can you move on the Folkmanis Monkey Puppet?
It is a hand puppet with a movable mouth and arms, and the manufacturer's description also refers to manipulating its head. That combination makes it useful for character dialogue, snack jokes, and interactive storytelling rather than just display.
When was the Folkmanis Monkey Puppet introduced?
Folkmanis lists the puppet's birthday as July 1993, while the company itself was founded in California in 1976. The Monkey also received a 2013 Dr. Toy Best Classic Products award.
How is the Folkmanis Monkey different from a string marionette?
The Folkmanis Monkey is operated directly by a hand inside the puppet, so the mouth and arms respond to the puppeteer's fingers. A Pelham marionette such as the Bob Skeleton hangs from strings and a control bar, which produces a different style of movement.
