Puppet versions of the two-dimensional characters.
Puppets
Image | Description | Appearances |
---|---|---|
Puppet Homestar RunnerThe puppet was created in September 2003. His eyes are made of felt, so they can be moved around if necessary. They are only seen on one side of his head at a time, similar to his Flash counterpart. His propeller can be spun, and he frequently asks others to "spin his buzzer", although it has a tendency to fall off. Being a puppet, his legs are never shown on screen. According to himself in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2, he has "eight percent more sass than the regular Homestar". He refers to the bottom of his mouth as a "mouth-shelf", which is handy for catching snowflakes. | ||
|
Puppet Strong BadThe first puppet was created in January 2005. He had a red piece above his mouth that slid up and down as he talked, giving the illusion of his mouth moving, as it does in the toons. His head could rotate, and his arms were usually controlled from below using wires. Unlike most puppets, his legs are visible at times, dangling below his body. He was replaced with a new puppet in 2017, possibly because the first puppet's head fell off, as revealed in a @StrongBadActual Tweet. The second puppet is smaller and has a fully opening underbite mouth. It was created by the people at the Georgia Puppetry Museum, as revealed to a fan when they talked in 2018. | |
|
Puppet The CheatWhile a Kick The Cheat doll was used as a puppet in Puppet Time and Some Puppet Stuff, The Cheat also had a similar but unique, handcrafted doll which debuted in Everybody Knows It. The new doll's defining features include more consistent dots on his back, a red-orange colored swirl on his chest, and pure black oval-shaped button eyes. | |
