{"product_id":"the-caveman-classic-marionette-puppet","title":"The Caveman: Classic Marionette Puppet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Caveman, in all his early guises of primitive Man, is a fun (if unsophisticated) character celebrated in enough comic books and cartoon television shows as to become a whole iconic archetype all his own. His curious, albeit simplistic, understanding of the world around him is indicative of a young child’s early discoveries of the same. Don’t confuse him for a numbskull however; he has always had the reputation of firebrand, one to raise a heavy wooden club first and ask his questions later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSqueaky Classics: Original designs for all ages from our early roots til now!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe first puppet I ever made in our standard 6-string design was a little Mummy marionette, a simple bandaged affair which utilised the weight of the clay pieces and the meagre costuming to create a proper functioning prototype which remains the core design behind most of our work to date. By working with some basic archetypes and alternating through gender, age and cultural influences, I developed a classic range of differing characters which are a continuing part of the Squeaking Tribe canon today. As familiar as these characters are to me now, I keep the joy alive by incorporating more details and personal quirks than I did in the past, so each one still retains its own unique identity. For the budget-minded, these are a good starting point to gauge your interest without betting the farm. A perfect launch-pad for the young ones, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMarionette in doll form is approximately 25cm in height or 60cm when strung.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Squeaking Tribe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50549025734960,"sku":"CLA0002-2","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1756\/9584\/files\/IMG_6628.jpg?v=1768868790","url":"https:\/\/squeakingtribe.com\/products\/the-caveman-classic-marionette-puppet","provider":"The Squeaking Tribe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
