Hi - how are you?
I just wanted to let you know that our production of Snow
White, which featured 7 of your puppets, won a London
theatre design award at the weekend. The award is shared
between set, costume, lighting, sound and puppets - so
congratulations! You are the joint winner of an Offie
award (granted to Off West End theatres). I've attached a
winners' logo which you're free to use if you like.
Thanks again for your help with the puppets -

Hi Ivan,
Just wanted to let you know that the Queen puppet was
delivered to me and she looks FANTASTIC!
I can’t thank you and any that worked on her creation
enough. I received multiple compliments on her from my
co-workers. So I know our audiences will be spellbound by
her appearance.
I will try to send you a show picture of the Queen in
action. And I’ll probably be contacting your company in
the near future for another puppet order.
Take care and many thanks again!
Sincerely,
Derek Cooper

Thank you so much for your
excellent service and the wonderful puppets you make. I
loved using your reindeer over Christmas in my Mrs Claus
show My new Dog arrived safely and I cannot wait to
work with him in my show. I have renamed him Mylo the
Magic Dog and as you can see below he cannot wait to get
to work.
Thank you once again

Ivan and Maria,
Thank you so very much. Your work is extremely good,
and sooo realistic. I really love MR Willy (Westie) and
Mr. Toad.
I know now that you are the master craftman for hand
puppets.
I would definately recommend "Pavlov Puppets"
to anyone who desires a trully professional hand-made
puppet.
Take care and God bless.

Ivan & Maria,
let me start by saying thank you. My friend ordered me
the owl puppet from your site for christmas, and I
recieved him before new years, which, considering I live
in australia, is pretty quick :) Since "Milo"
has come, I have taken him on hospital visits and to
pre-scools, and he is a hit with the kids. my mum has
even "adopted" him into the family. I can't
wait to get you to do my custom order, and will purchase
from you again in the future. So from myself, and the
kids of bli bli prep, and all the kids in Nambour General
hospital: "Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts"

We ordered a couple of puppets from you a few weeks ago.
I Just want to say, I'm thoroughly impressed with you
puppets and service.
First) Your puppets are by far the best I've seen from a
pre-built puppet company. They perform well and were
obviously constructed with puppeteers in mind.
I have to add, the Duck is adorable with lots of
personality and the chicken, while a bit tight in the
beak, is a truly good looking puppet. The details on both
are really nice and add to their professional look.
Second) We needed them on short notice (This is actually
the reason I didn't build them myself) and you really
came through. Thank You!
I will definitely recommend your puppets to others who
need professional quality puppets. You can bet we'll
order from you again.
If you find yourself in Singapore, please give me a call.
Take Care,
Paul

Dear Ivan and Maria,
I've just completed my summer
shows which starred the purple ant puppet you madefor
me The quality and artistry of your work truly made an
impact on my audiences. So many people commented after
the show on the expression and "alive quality"
of the puppet. The kids roared with laughter as soon as
I brought her out. It was a joy to perform with and I
look forward to my next Pavlov's Puppet.
Thanks for being so easy to work with and for delivering
an outstanding character.
Attached is a photo and if
you'd like to view a clip of the ant in action, here's a

The puppet I received is an Einstein character.
I call him Dr. Noah Tall. Think about it.
I have had an idea for this type of character for a long
time, so I knew right away I wanted this puppet when I
saw it.
The quality is excellent. The puppets from Pavlov's are
all hand made. Sculpted in foam and covered with a fleece
material and then hand painted.
They are very lightweight and easy to use, There is a
unique "knob" inside the head above the upper
mouth that your hand rests comfortably on, and an elastic
strap inside on the lower mouth to slip your thumb into.
This gives the performer a very solid hold on the puppet
and makes the mouth a joy to work.
As many of you know, I'm 6' 9" tall and have
fairly large hands. My hand fits easily and comfortably
into the puppet.
They make a large variety of characters - people, birds,
animals.
I'm from the old school and have generally always
performed with hard figures. I'm sure I've changed my
mind to a degree now and will also be using this very
nice Pavlov's soft puppet in my show from now on.
These are professional puppets all the way, and priced
extremely competitively for a puppet of this quality.

Randy
the Reindeer has been a huge hit over Christmas. We have
done Christmas parties, visited nursing homes, read The
Night Before Christmas for kids and rang bells for The
Salvation Army kettles. Tomorrow, we have a church
service at a local nursing home.
Both Horton and Randy are without a doubt the best
puppets I have ever used. They are colourful, big eyes
that make contact with an audience; they are light to
carry which makes them perfect for walk around shows.
All the best to you and your family!
