I bought a high quality rabbit in the hat puppet at an auction a year ago for $40. I ended up selling it at the Kidabra auction in 2011 and it sold for $190. I originally bought it thinking I could do my rabbit in the hat puppet act with it, but it had no place for the fingers in its arms etc. It was more of a Vent puppet and I don't vent. The mouth could open and close obviously. The eyes and the teeth and mouth were made of latex and some of the body with fur etc.

I was just e mailed by the buyer at the auction asking me if I knew who the manufacturer was of this item as he wants to buy another one.

The Hat was rather large and high quality, as was the rabbit. (It was a bidding war at the auction for this)

I had never seen this puppet before and I do not have a photo nor can I find anything like it online.

Anyone know what I'm talking about??? Any ideas?????

Was it Wanlu's rabbit? Here's a link:

Probably not because our top hat is just basic... but our rabbit is a pro vent puppet and a cutie

Thanks Ken

Wow Ken that IS it. Whoever sold it at the auction that I bought it at must have changed the hat but that is THE puppet. Wanlu, I will forward your site to my friend.

Thanks!
Tommy

Wanlu, can you send me a link that I can forward to my friend so he can order one from you?

Thanks Ken and TommyJ

Thanks Bill. But the guy was looking specifically for the one Wanlu makes. If I ever vented, I would have kept it. Wanlu, I would love a rabbit just like that, where I can put my fingers in his arms and use it for my puppet routine where he does not talk. He pulls things out of the hat and does silly things etc. It really is a great looking rabbit
