See i have noticed the use of puppets a lot more but i put it down to developing an interest in puppets so i tend to look out for them now :/

what do you guys thing of the what-nots from what ive seen the mouths seem to be a bit wrinkly? does someone one one? Ive never seen one in real life. oh and are they hand sewn or machine.

I think they are machine sewn most likely mass produced in a factory. I did notice the mouths and the quality is not that good however you are paying for the "Muppet" name.
