How does Jeff dunham make his dummies?

Jeff Dunham does not make his own dummies. They are all created by a variety of artists, including:

* Greg Lonnigan, who also sculpts the heads of Dunham's characters.

* Adrian Jacobs, who is the main costumer for Dunham's show.

* Mark Nelson, who creates the puppets' hands and other small parts.

* David Strassman, who is a puppet creator and performer as well as Dunham's mentor.

The process of creating a Dunham puppet typically takes over a month from start to finish. Each puppet is handmade and requires hours of intricate detailing. They are also constantly being repaired and refreshed to keep them in top condition.
