These two character puppets of President Obama and actor Hugh Laurie were custom build by AllProPuppets for a video project in Hollywood CA. David, provided us with his vision of the characters along with some rough sketches of how he liked the characters to look. We had to rework one of the sketches to ready it for puppet construction. Once we started the sculpts, we kept David in the loop with email updates and pictures. The puppets heads and hands were made out of latex. The hair was punched for both heads. The bodies were made out of polyurethane foam and covered in very light fabric. The clothes were custom tailored for each character for a sharp look. Once agreed on the sketches, the puppets’ took three weeks to complete. We then made custom carry bags for the puppets and shipped them to southern California.

These are amazing. The Hugh Laurie could have doubled as Frankenstein's monster before you painted it. hehe.

Nice work!

Though at first I thought "Thats not Hugh Laurie!" but I could eventually sees the caricature details based on him.
I guess I'm biased having only seen Hugh in his pre-House days in Blackadder and anything else British before his crossing the pond :D

Excellent caricatures!
