It looks to me like some of the "bust" would fit on top of the full figures
and give a different expression to the doll...something I loved to do with
paper dolls. So would that explain the separate heads? 

And I was influenced of Howdy Dowdy, Mr. Bunny Rabbit on Captain Kangaroo
(who I didn't like) and Addis Williams in NYC. I owe everything to him and
the late Bill Connelly. They took me to my first Bread and Puppet
performance, taught me how to move a marionette or die trying and just loved
me through a divorce, buying a coop and getting religion.

Hi Hobey,

I tend to agree with some comments already mentioned, unfortunately I don't 
think they are Toy Theatre figures, however I could be wrong. I have 
forwarded the link to the Peter Baldwin the author of the book several list 
members have mentioned and owner of the Pollock's Toy theatre shop in Covet 
Garden London. Peter has probably the large collection of Toy theatre in 
World, certainly in the UK, and is president of the British Puppet and Model

Theatre Guild.

I will let you know if and when he responds.

Michael
