Ventriloquist Dummies

conZ

Thinking of buying one during the Summer - a la Gabbo in the Simpsons.

Found a couple of sites, but they're mostly American. One German site too, but the English version is under construction, and there are no prices.

Deluxe model looks best - moving eyes, full body etc.

Anywhere in Ireland or England, or even Mainland Europe, where I could get one?

This one looks good too.

Don't do it Conor...

Oh god.. Don't.. just don't... You're social life will decrese, you will have to wear glasses and girls will hate you(If all this is true already, more extreme versions will ensue)...

Sarky

Not to mention the fact that the damn thing will come alive and kill you in your sleep...

GuanYin

I agree with Sarky, you're just asking for trouble!

Haven't you seen childs play?

Give the Lambert puppet theatre a ring. I'm sure Eugene could point you in the right direction if they don't actually sell them.

You'll find the number on goldenpages.ie

The Lambert puppet theatre has a website. Gonna email them one of the days.

Anyone got anything useful to say? -- (apart from the killed in the sleep bit - i wear protection).

Eh, hello. The suggestion to ring the puppet theatre was actually the only sensible suggestion made..... They are well known for puppetry and therefore they might know where to get them in Ireland if they don't actually have one for sale....

Didn't know they had a website but isn't it better to give people a ring anyway and have a chat rather than impersonal email.

Hey you're welcome for my sensible suggestion anyway.

There's nothing funny about being attacked by an evil ventriloquist's dummy, you know. The buggers will knife you as soon as your back is turned. Make sure you have easy access to fire, they're terrified of fire.

All I know is that all the kids in Springfield are SOB's.

Oh god no, don't do it. Those things are evil and quite, quite terrifying. You'll never make friends again if you get one! *shudders*
I got given one as a Christmas present one year, it used watch me! Then I put it in a trunk, but I know it still wants to kill me....it kept turning up around the house....if it ever turns up in Galway I'm going to chop it up with my boyfriends sword. In fact, I might just do that anyway.....
