I'm currently working on 2 projects at the moment.. one is a reworking of the glorified sock puppet into a dinosaur type... and another is a LEGO mini figure puppet, which is pretty cool at the moment... i am also thinking about a 3rd project where I want to do a puppet where you see about 45% to 50% of the foam understructure and the other part is skin... i have a name for the puppet :Pup Et the puppet... almost like achmed jr.. but the skeletal part is actually foam and the skin is well you know! what do you think?

Would love to see pictures of what you are working on. They all sound interesting.

for size reference i have included my ipod...

Cool love the little dragon puppet.   Now I must say one thing. If the guy with the ipod is the "mini" Lego puppet I think perhaps you missed the mark. He don't look "mini" to me at all. Just kidding... I get it. Looks like a Lego man to me. In regards to both your current project and your purposed future puppet, you might enjoy this blog post. http://nerdbeach.com/lego-minifigure-anatomical-chart/
