This was the heaviest and tallest of all the puppets. * Hammer Man, a humanoid character made of pieces of sheet metal. * The Sprite, a winged character with a three tiered tail. * Angel Girl, a feminine figure with a massive wingspan and human face. * Wiggle Girl, similar to Angel Girl, but had a smaller wingspan and lacked a face, also had movement in the hips. * Bird Man, with a large wingspan and a crane-like face. This puppet was the hardest to control. * Aztec Man, with an Aztec-style head, small wingspan and several flaps at its end, similar to kite tails.
