As a long time collector of Marionettes and Puppets, Gary has finally decided to part with some of his many prized pieces. Together we have more than 400 Marionettes and Puppets in our collection. Duplicates of some of this collection can be found on this page. We will be updating his page as Gary goes through his vast inventory of Marionettes and Puppets. Offered here will be Hazelle, Pelham and Peter Puppets and occasional specialty items. Please note where a date is indicated it is the first release year as far as we know.

Gary has extensive knowledge in the area of restoration and puppet building. Therefore, we are announcing the opening of "Gary's Workshop". Offered are the following restoration services: Hazelle Re-Stringing, Hazelle replacement hands and shoes, replacement mohair wigs, repainting services (composition and tenite), Hazelle costume replacement (according to availability) and replacement controls. Gary can also build a custom Hazelle Marionette to your specifications from original factory Hazelle Parts and Costumes. Gary Watkins is well known to the Puppetry Guild in Shawnee Mission, KS and his artistic restoration abilities can be confirmed by Diane Haulk, Director. Please call and ask for Gary for prices and other information.
