A Pelham Puppet redressed as Princess Mombi from 'Return to OZ'
With three interchangeable heads

Each year I aim to create a one-off, never to be remade Halloween special and this is the Alexander Sanderson Design's 2024 creation.
A Pelham Puppet redressed as the frightful and vain Princess Mombi from the film 'Return to OZ'. Famous for her cabinets of heads, which she swaps between on a whim just as this puppet can in seconds.
Head 2
This puppet is dressed in a gown cut from purple and black taffeta, red velvet and trimmed with gold braid, diamante trim, lilac stones and red ruby style jewels.
Her three heads are interchangeable - one in her original red tone, one blonde and the other brunette - which hook and unhook at the puppet's neck; and clasp onto the two black head strings via two clasps attaching to the heads' side hooks. The faces of all three are fully repainted in an appropriate style.
Her feet are of the moulded Pelham high heel design - re-painted and finished with glittered varnish.
