Homemade Finger Puppets
I remember seeing Batman knock-off finger puppets from 1966 made in Japan in Chip Kidd's fantastic Batman Memorabilia Book and I'd thought I'd give a try making more official-style puppets, complete with phony packaging:
The heads are out of supersculpey painted with acrylic paint and the bodies are construction paper (with the exception of Catwoman's which was Crayola Model Magic) also acrylic-ally painted.

Amazing stuff. They look really nice; love Romero´s Joker expression. The package looks pretty good as well.
