Stage 2 Custom Puppets are your intermediate level, professional quality, custom puppet by Puppetsinc.com. These are our most popular choice for "look alike" puppets because they bridge the gap between a budget, "assemble the pieces" kind of custom puppet and a very expensive, original design custom character.

A Stage 2 Custom Puppet will be assembled from parts we already make or can easily adapt whenever possible, but specialized attention will be paid to hair styles, facial features, clothing and accessories. We work from photographs or drawings to get you a puppet that looks as much like what you want as possible without dedicating days to design time, special fabric dying, and other details that cause the price to go up dramatically. The following list of criteria describe a what generally makes up a Stage 2 Custom Puppet:
  • A style of puppet we already make or can adapt easily from patterns we already have.
  • A color of skin we already have.
  • Special hair as needed (including the purchase of a wig and/or unique patterns for fur and other materials.)
  • Special eyes, nose, ears as needed (adapted from existing patterns where possible).
  • Special costuming as needed to suit the character (includes glasses, some jewelry, clothing styles).
Stage 2 Custom Puppets are moderately priced, but still substantially more expensive than Stage 1 Custom Puppets or any of our "off the rack" puppet designs because they require a fair amount of special attention. What you will get is a unique puppet character based on your own special needs. The exact cost will depend on exactly what you want, but you can figure the price to START at $350. (Example: a Stage 2 Custom Puppet will START at $350. Need a hairstyle that requires a specialized wig or hair assembly? Cost goes up. Require specific glasses or facial hair? Cost goes up. Want a particular kind of clothing? Cost goes up. Gotta have legs? Cost goes up. Etc., etc., etc.)
