Subseries Scope and Content

The Moppets Subseries consists of the puppets, their attached accessories and several costumes. The Moppets were puppets that allowed the expressive face of the performer to be seen seemingly attached to a puppet body. The body of the puppet allowed for more exaggerated and comical movements. The Moppets include a Bette Davis puppet with a black dress and a red satin "Christmas" dress and a Mae West puppet with a sequined dress, each with a drawstring storage bag. The subseries also includes an additional green, orange, and pink sequined dress trimmed with larger white sequins.
