Double Doody


This is another one-of-a-kind special creation by Kevin Detweiler. A very unique design - a ventriloquist figure operating a smaller ventriloquist doll. Two ventriloquist figures in one!
They can be worked separately or together. Talk about "Double Doody"! The smaller Howdy Doody is a 14" vent doll with one eye winker and moving mouth, which can be operated easily from inside the larger Howdy Doody's body!
The larger Howdy Doody is a 32" vent doll with a hollow body, turning head, tilt, nod etc., plus side-to-side self centering eyes and moving mouth. His little brother fits right in place behind his jacket. If you want to use big brother by himself, you can zip up his jacket and no one will know your secret. You can also work little Howdy by himself, if you like, but for the greatest effect keep them together!
You can see additional photos (including inside the body controls) on the eBay listing for this amazing duo-doll: Click here
