christopher columbus and leif erikkson puppets



I've been surfing the web looking for some inspiration for some paintings. I think I found it.
CascadeToys sells puppets of famous world figures. Two of which are Christopher Columbus and Leif Erikkson. These are great! They are pointing at each other as if to say, "That punk didn't discover America. I did!"

I'm also digging the megamouth moose.

And get a load of Jonah and the Whale.

I think cascadetoys needs to update their site. On the megamouth moose page it says, "new for 2001."

i don't think columbus and erikkson were alive at the same time to have this debate.

also, i think that Native Americans would take exception to these two guys' claims of "discovering" America, when they were already living there for thousands of years.

Puppets ROCK!

I wonder if the site needs to be updated or if the company is no longer selling on line. Have you gone through the purchase path all the way to checkout? If they really haven't updated in 4 years you have to wonder what's going on over there!

They should make a native american puppet! It would be the RC of the Pepsi/Coke debate. And yes, i DID just compare native americans to RC cola. so take THAT and smoke it in your pipe!

does that moose puppet make noise?
my friend just got a monkey and a pig puppet from japan that make noise (monkey and pig sounds) when you make the mouth move, it looks like the same style as that moose. they are really neat.

i think Erik will make moose noises when he plays with the moose puppet. he's a self-mooser. ;)
