PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DELIVERY TIMES!

As mentioned above, each Tony and Benny is hand built from scratch by Mr. Layne.

These are NOT mass produced assembly line figures. They are not modified toy dolls. They are professional figures, built to last a lifetime.

It is unfortunately very common in today's "I want it now" society to become anxious when waiting on any purchase that involves some patience. But patience is a necessity when ordering a professional ventriloquist figure from ANY reputable figure maker.

Depending on his performance schedule and the number of figures he has to build, the length of time to complete your puppet may vary. Mr. Layne will complete your new partner as soon as possible, but it will probably take between 16-20 weeks to receive your figure (unless you order one of our in stock figures when available).

In the world of professional figure making, this is still a very generous and short time-frame. There are other figure makers who take a year or longer to complete a professional puppet. Feel free to contact other professional figure makers and inquire as to how long it will take to have a made to order dummy completed. Most will take a lot longer than Mr. Layne.

Please do not call us 4 weeks after you order to start inquiring as to the status of your figure. It only adds more frustration and pressure on Mr. Layne when people try to push him to try and "rush" a figure. Again, know up front that it will generally take 16-20 weeks to complete your figure. Please be patient. If he finishes sooner, he will send your new figure sooner.

The wait will be well worth it! In the meantime, you can be learning ventriloquism with your FREE bonus "Ventriloquism 101" DVD, which will be shipped immediately.

To make delivery faster, upon completion Mr. Layne will send your new puppet to you right from his studio.

In addition, you may request blonde, auburn or black hair, and brown, green or blue eyes for your Tony on the on-line order form in the "Special Requests" section.

Also, no other animations are available on Tony or Benny at this time (i.e. winkers, blinkers, raising eyebrows). This helps keep the cost down so that more people can afford a high quality professional figure.

ORDER TODAY and in a few weeks, you'll be performing with a brand new Jerry Layne professional ventriloquist figure.

Tony and Benny!

*Two year warranty does not cover modifications made to the puppet by the owner, or damage  to the puppet caused by abuse of the puppet
