The puppet cast of Taco Bueno’s “More Bueno” commercial.
Taco Bueno Alligator Puppet
At Puppet Town Productions, I was the builder behind the Alligator from the Taco Bueno “More Bueno!” commercial. This was a very quick deadline, so instead of covering the puppets with material, we decided to dye the foam itself and pattern and carve it to the desired shapes. It gave a unique look, and the client loved it! To learn more, check out the behind-the-scenes photos below, and consider contacting me to help bring your puppet project to life!
The alligator was patterned and carved out of custom-dyed soft foam. His teeth were sanded L200 foam.

In addition, I puppeteered on this commercial, performing the alligator’s hands.
