Just got a small parcel from Axtell, including the awesome Bubba! What a great productin item from your DUCK pan (not Dove pan, it's too small). Just make a green balloon "Tadpole", pop it in the pan (letting the air out as you do so ), add some slime, magic dust, and flash wool, and you have an instant frog!
One of the best cake pan production items I've seen - it's a puppet too ("Giz a Kiss, Dahlin' - wont to see me turn into a prince?") Highly Recommended! Potty |

I have Bubba as well. I can make him fit into a Dove Pan.
Never thought of using the slime. Do you use that prior the production or after? I usually inflate the balloon and then let it fly out of my hand into the audience before placing it in the pan. Kids love it! |

Doug is it possible to put something in bulba his mouth or in him self. My thought is if bublba deliver a present it would even be greater!
I've alway's liked bulba but never purchase it, it stills hang on my wish list but I liked it when he can deliver a present. Hop to hear from you! |

He is a tight fit in the the Dove Pan. When he appears his head pops out.
I don't own a duck pan, but if you push him into the a large Dove Pan just so it will work. |

Bubba is a tight fit even into a Duck Pan - I haven't tried a Dove Pan yet, but I guess it could squeeze in.
Bubba has a big space underneath. I plan to make a small green balloon frog, and conceal it underneath Bubba. The kid who helps with the magic gets to keep the balloon. You could equally put candies, or other surprises underneath Bubba. I like this item, because it's totally unexpected. Similar to "Rabbid", which I don't have, but have always been very fond of.

I was going to buy one but I found that the feet are painted on the lilly pad not moulded on to thwe frog. So from a distance it would just look like a frogs head on a lilly pad as you cant see the feet. As like I said they are painted on the lillypad so it would look rather odd??? don't get me wrong its ok, but I think it looks odd due to the feet.

Don't worry about the feet Nick, there is so much frog to see no one worries about the feet. But if you need a complete frog Ax makes one of those as well!

I never noticed the feet. You just see those trademark Axtell Puppet eyes, and a goofy, grinning frog. It pops right out from the pan....I love it!

Cool, thanks Colin and I do no they also do another frog but I have a reason for not buying a frog as The reason I said and as for the bigger one I don't want people mistaking it for kermit or something.
Nick :P |

The feet of our Bubba the Frog are not just painted onto the Lilly pad, they are 3D relief sculptured onto it like he is sitting on it. That's a very natural look. The reason for the lillypad is to hide your arm going into the hole, and also to sit it down on the table flat when on display. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlbp3Isg96s

Nick I had the big frog for a few years and no one thought it looked anything like Kermit.

I use the Axtell Holiday Turkey to reveal the borrowed cellphone in my Cellulator. I also have a version with the Wiz Kote. The shoe also fits inside the Turkey. The cellphone / shoe is stuffed inside the turkey.
I guess you could also fit a cellphone inside the frog puppet in a duck pan for the Cellulator effect.

Nick, You have what you feel comfortable with. Get some ideas in your head as to what you would like the puppet to do and how to behave. This will give you a good idea as to what sort of puppet you will need.
