Today it gives me great pleasure
to show you a wonderful Ken Spencer figure which was created for and
used by Bill Bernstein from Florida. I was extremely happy when this
figure arrived to become a part of the Ventriloquist Central
Collection.
This figure is in great all original condition and does show a small
amount of wear on his face and hands but the condition is still so
good that this is an example that I would not touch. He must remain
as you see him.
He stands 44" tall and has Ken's particular style ball and socket
neck which gives great mobility of the head. His wig is original and
is attached at the back of the head so that with a little quick
movement the wig flips up. Done for Mr Bernstein this was on his
request. He has side to side non self centering eyes but these eyes
also roll to wink or blink. Individual controls. He has slot jaw and
upper lip sneer which make him have a very open mouth. He also has
raising eyebrows and wiggling ears. As matter of fact these ears go
out farther than any ears I have seen. They actually become
perpendicular to his head. I also love that this fellow has an
elongated nose which gives him a great cartoony look.
The body is all original and is made of wood and covered with
muslin. The arms and legs are all original with original stuffing.
He has a light up bow tie which is controls by a battery box inside
the body.
This is the way I like to find ventriloquist figures and I love to
be able to share them with you.
