Filming just wrapped up recently on brand spankin’ new franchise reboot Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, and today brings your first official look at three of the film’s killer puppets!
Over at Texas Frightmare, the team behind the new film showed off their newly redesigned versions of iconic Puppet Master villains Blade and Tunneler, as well as the first look at a brand new puppet that looks like a mix between a frog and a clown. The puppets were redesigned and created by Tate Steinsiek (“Face Off”), who promises lots of gore and lots of practical effects.
Meet the new dolls below!
