Description
I recently grabbed these two in the wake of the Lunar New Year, and I must say I really dig this eastern new year creature aesthetic. It's nostalgic for me as well since it relates to my Vietnamese roots and the kind of culture I grew up with. Neat stuff.
Anyhoo, the puppets themselves feature a mouth opening mechanism that I thought was pretty cool. Only they had this flaw where you couldn't really close them back up and they'd just keep hanging open, but with some very minor modding I actually got them to work right! Trick was to add a stopper to prevent the jaw from opening too wide, and presto. Now they open AND close.
