To my greatest surprise, this superb puppet from Folmanis better suffers to be thrown up and down than I expected. However, that was on a one year observation, I do not know what the long term reserves. Other thing, because I deal with young children, I do not know how to clean it. Finally the combination with puppets of other manufacturers is more or less a cosmetic issue due to the size and style. Combined with a Papageno (the magic flute) and Papagena I had made, the kids did not blink. Reaction good to keep in mind for the worry was only mine.

All this toy needs is a horse to ride in on, to save the lady. He is a nice size and well worth his weight in gold.

We have lots of Folkmanis puppets. My favorite is the Pirate. He has a glove on the back so he's easy to manipulate. Princess, Prince, Queen and King are different however. You put your thumb in one sleeve, your pinky in the other sleeve and your index or middle finger in the head in order to make the puppet move. It is not very easy. It is almost impossible for my 7 year old to move the puppet because her hand is so small that the span between thumb and pinky doesn't reach the sleeves/hands of the puppet. I'm not sure why all the 5 star reviews. We have the Prince with the blue cape and crown (old model). I am not sure if they improved him and made him more like the Pirate (who has a glove on the back) or not. But I wouldn't buy them the way they are if I've seen them in the store. Buying online is sometimes hard.
