DMPCreative is taking a short break

Note from shop owner I have an extremely full Sept/October so I’m putting the shop on hold until sometime in November. I’ll try to re-open it and take a few orders for Christmas but it will be very limited. I won’t be able to take ANY custom orders until 2027. Current orders will go out as I get to them. Thank you for your understanding.

Dave Did not disappoint at all. Great job Dave, although I may have had to adjust the bow tie and tuxedo a little bit, I still ice this puppet. It is one of my favorites that I own. I cannot wait for when I get my Christmas one, this one will be used for video projects of my own coming soon to my YouTube channel. The tuxedo is awesome despite the fact that I had to fix some things on it such as the bow tie. Regardless you did great. I am very proud of you Dave. I can’t wait to buy more from you. And to those reading, one more surprise that I plan to buy when the shop reopens and then in 2027 I will finally buy a Beethoven for myself. Back to the point. Dave, thanks for helping me grow my collection. You have been such a great guy. Happy belated birthday and happy birthday Aunt Leslie too!! I hope your birthday was awesome Dave!!

Dave's best otter since the originals hands down, he looked even better on camera when in the right hands. Did not disappoint during a hard time dealing with an unexpected strike.

Another great puppet. I was surprised by the black material used on the ears and body. But I’m still overall satisfied by the puppet.
