Trivia from the show... |
Munch
and Figgy

|
Munch
and Figgy
really are two misfit puppets.They were made by Steve over 20 years
ago from scraps of fur and whatever else he could find. Munch even
has two real teeth from a whale.
Figgy was originally a flamingo
puppet built for a show in Las Vegas until he was later pulled apart,
lost his body, repainted and used for a different character.
Poor Munch and Figgy were
left alone for years on wooden stands until they were re-discovered
for AxTelevision! |
I started
making puppets when I was 8 years old, encouraged by my family
and friends. I even received a letter of advice from Jim Henson,
creator
of the Muppets. Over time, my wife Suzi and I continued
to build my little dream into a big puppet company called
"Axtell Expressions".
Today, our puppets are used all over the world!

Sheldon's movements
were copied from a pet turtle named "Torty". And guess
what? About a week later Torty also ran away from home, just like
Sheldon. If he doesn't return soon, we'll have to send Norman after
him too! |
I
not only sculpt puppets but have also helped make many famous
toys over the last 40 years including the first plastic model
kits, little green army men, and the very first Barbie Doll for
Mattel. I sculpted her
to look like my beautiful wife, Lylis. Now it's great to use my
skills with AxTelevision!
