“The Banderbear” Poseable OOAK Puppet

in Creature Making Contest 2025

Fantasy adventure fiction has always been my safe place and my escapism, and no novels as much as ‘The Edge Chronicles’ by Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart. The Banderbear is one of my favourite creatures from the series, and so, inspired by the incredible illustrations of Riddell, I made my first puppet 7 years ago, and this guy more recently.

Made entirely by myself from scratch, he has an aluminium wire skeleton, a faux fur soft body stuffed with wadding and hand sculpted and painted head, hands and feet.

    Nice sculpt!  What are the face and hands final in?  Are the hands poseable too?  How big is he?

    Was rooting for this little guy and the other runner ups funnily enough. Glad they're getting the attention they deserve. The sculpt and hair work blend together flawlessly. The two materials look like they were made for each other
