It is not unusual to see projects in every stage of completion. Up a wide staircase is the art shop where workers make costumes and paint faces on molded plastic heads. On the main floor, a huge vacuum form machine presses out the puppets' faces. Here, you may see sheets of stark white plastic being pressed over molds into various facial configurations. Downstairs in the sculpting area, one person sculpts all of the character-head molds.
Shelves contain hundreds of plaster molds shaped like heads, feet, hands, and animals.
Peek inside some headless mechanized bodies to discover some figures' detailed electronic insides and to see how the parts unite to produce a character's body movements.
