This is Folkmanis' Cheshire Cat. It's extremely creepy if you ask me. But that's alright because if you look at the original illustrations by John Tenniel, the Cheshire Cat is not really less creepy than that. This puppet includes a mechanism to open the cat's mouth as well as one to blink his eyes. I find it extremely hard to operate, so I might not play with him as much as my other puppets, but I'm still very very happy to have him in my collection, specially since he's a retired design. Did I mention his face glows in the dark? I'm telling you, I bet he got discontinued because there were too many complaints of children having nightmares. Mine is just even worst because one of his eyes is crooked...
