  • What are the puppets made of?

    If you only visited the thread interested in answers, I can already tell you the ones used in the TV show are made of foam latex, but what about the other ones?
    Are the wit puppets and pilot puppets also just foam latex? I've seen in the wit puppets video that Gudmundur made them out of some weird white stuff in a stirring machine but since I'm not too knowledged with puppet stuff I can't quite make out what that is.

    Thank you if you can provide me with insight!

    Hmm that could just be plaster or something for a mold, so I don't know if it should necessarily be fixated on. There's a picture somewhere of a dilapidated Ziggy puppet where you can kind of see what's inside.. I'm trying to find it online but not having any luck. I'm pretty sure I have it at home, and will look for it when I get the chance to, unless someone knows the pic I'm talking about and can post it here :)

      I'm not an expert but the white stuff is probably just another kind of silicone

        Here's that pic. So based on how it's degrading, it seems like a spongey type of material. Based on the way they move, and since they seem a little more durable than the tv puppets, maybe closer to a silicone rubber foam? The eyelids and maybe the hair seems to be more of a rubber material.

            Looks like the material of foam pool mats.

                    Noticed something at the end of the wit puppets video that I might have investigated a little more before, they're made out of latex and apparently made not only by Gummi but also a person who's the son of Águst! Click image for larger version
