Hi Rob, Sorry for the delay in this review. Charlie arrived on time at our house in the woods here on the Suwannee River. Turns out though that Charlie is more of a city boy, and he immediately ran away. (I think the coyotes howling in the woods scared him) We had not seen him in over a month and we started to get real worried. Then our granddaughter in Charleston SC called to say he had shown up there. They hit it off right away, and hang out together when ever she's not in school. He told her he has a PHD so he doesn't need to attend school any more. They became bff's before she realized he was famous. When she visited recently, we showed her some old film clips of Charlie and Edgar and she's even more excited to get to know him. She says she'll bring him with her the next time she visits and she'll update this review then. I hope she remembers, she's only 12. :)

Nicely painted. Solid accessories. Easy mouth control with the string. The hat, eye monocle, and shoes fit well. Overall, it's a solid product. The doll isn't as good as other upgraded versions that have the ball and socket neck. The main reason is that the upgraded dummies are more lifelike and geared toward traditional ventriloquism whereas these basic dummies are a little limp. This is especially difficult when trying to have the dummy sit on your hand or lap when performing. However, for a toy or collectable, it's great fun and definitely has the best deal on the web.

The shoes and eye glass don't stay on very good, however my daughter LOVES him. We just used a safety pen for the eye glass. I think we may try to find him a different pair of shoes. Overall she LOVES her Charlie puppet and he was well worth the money.
