Amazing Ventriloquist Dummy Collection and Workshop - Phillips Puppets - Plus Troll Hunt!

[@mikehughes4969]

The level of enthusiasm Austin has for the dummies is amazing. We should all have the same kind of passion for at least one thing in our lives.

[@Carolb66]

So very true. 😊

[@twanagilles1756]

I agree 100%

[@cappuchino_creations]

Like... when Halloween season starts on this channel? ;D

[@feloniousbutterfly]

These are honestly my absolute favorite episodes of your show Jacob, when you get to see someone's private collection that they get to share with you in enthusiasm. PLUS A TROLL?? What a special little gift.

[@rolfathan]

Austin's laugh is great. Also, he's a very good guide of his collection. Dude deserves a full fledged museum.

[@johne.porter1298]

Phillips' Dummies are well sought after in The ventriloquil world. He is a great builder of new figures too!

[@JFStan]

I’m a ventriloquist, and an acquaintance of Austin’s, and this just may be my favorite episode yet

[@jdssurf]

seems like an awesome guy, hey do you know what watch he is wearing in this? Looks like a Bambino.

[@RikFTK]

You're no longer lost Finn. Carpetbagger found you. ❤

[@needamillion4826]

Austin's enthusiasm is top tier! You can tell this is his true passion! His energy and laugh are great! ❤

[@Thecorgially]

You come up with the most interesting and refreshing places to visit like the Puppet/Dummy Museum and the troll hunt.

[@katwesley6806]

Austin is a real 💎 himself. Keeping traditions alive is important work and I love his love for it. BRAVO

[@daveandgena3166]

Austin does amazing work! I am not a ventriloquist or involved with theater, but I must have one of the little ice cream puppets. I love his little face! And I"m so glad you got the Jack O'Lantern to take to the bunker!

[@maycausedizziness]

These are some of my favorite videos. Starting it up, I didn't think I would enjoy it. I mean, dummies? But wow, what a treat! Thanks, Austin, for letting all of us in to see your collection. Love that the troll hunt has continued.

[@alliekuma4234]

Making the dummies really is art. I had no idea so much was involved! I love the Pumpkin head. ♥

[@iamprivate18]

I had no idea these puppets were so complicated!

[@Carolb66]

The enthusiasm of Austin is infectious! ❤😂

[@robylove9190]

Austin is a really cool guy and his dummies are awesome. Thanks, Jacob ❤

[@mareekatz]

Love the troll hunts ❤ wanted to add how wonderful Austin is. Loved learning about the world of dummies

[@mcwatersd]

I fell in love with all forms of puppets at a very young age. There was a shop we used to go to that had them hanging in the window and as a child I would stare at them the whole time my parents were shopping . My Father surprised me with one and I was over the moon. This mans enthusiasm and knowledge of the history is amazing. Loved his collection and what an awesome gift . I love those trolls they are so awesome.#Lost Finn Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@OldMovieRob]

Some very interesting history to those ventriloquist dummies.

[@wordledad]

Lilly rockin' the Mold A Rama shirt to kick this incredible visit off on the right start. This place was really intriguing and definitely have not seen this place on YT yet. Great work everyone!

[@panther122]

Thanks Jacob for sharing this so amazing. With people like Jeff Dunham,Darcy Lynn and Terry Fator this art form will never disapear.

[@mbrewer5499]

I LOVE THE TROLL HUNT> I would like a montage of the visits into one video- I know that style isn't your usual thing but it would be great seeing them all together

[@Themeparkhero]

Agreed. I also want a carousel/merry go round supper cut granted that would probably be 5 hours long at this point lol

[@jamesjamm]

I do not miss a video of yours. I would say out of all of your videos this one would be in my top 3!!! Austin was SO interesting. We absolutely LOVED him and his dummies and his enthusiasm and excitement!!!

[@allenrudisill2082]

The troll finds are awesome and the puppet shop was really awesome Austin seems like a really cool person.

[@samposkey7218]

This is one of the best episodes. Loved learning about all the puppets. Awesome!!!!! Guy was so informative and interesting. Halloween items neat too

[@Hauntmaster15]

I think these two Artists should collaborate and make a giant ventriloquist troll you can climb inside and animate 🤯

[@BronwenMcLaren]

Google Royal de Luxe and Les Machines de l'île in Nantes, France. Beautiful giant wooden puppets, often controlled by a team of puppeteers.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Boom. There goes my head.

[@allensherrill850]

That’s another place that would be creepy to be alone in after dark. (Hidden Elf on the Shelf)

[@Finsup82]

This guy’s collection is awesome!!!

[@nikitatro5508]

Awesome video Jacob 🌟🙌🤩 Thank You to Austin for sharing His collections and knowledge with Us 🙏💝🤩 Thank You Jacob for taking the hike to visit Lost Finn 🙏💖🤩 I love the Trolls as much as You do and I hope to see them myself someday 🤞 The next best thing is seeing them with You Jacob 💝😻

[@grandee4383]

This was an amazing video!! Having worked with puppets in my youth, I thoroughly loved seeing this incredible collection. And then to get to see Lost Finn as well…WOW!!! ❤

[@feloniousbutterfly]

I LOVE his custom made Jack o' Lantern. Definitely has the colors and style of a real old prop! Wonderful stuff! Also his retro halloween decoration collection is exquisite.

[@lissachocolate]

Austin and his ventriloquist dummies were interesting. I liked seeing the mechanisms inside. I also enjoy seeing the trolls. I enjoy the mixture of things you visit and hearing you talk about them.

[@bg199083]

That’s a very cool collection of ventriloquist dummy’s and puppets at that museum Jake! Glad that he took you a tour.

[@sophiaelliott8033]

This was so cool!! I love to see the passion Austin has for this art. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@gillygillyyt55]

Oh my, BRILLIANT. I'm sure then he knows about Ray Allen and his small friend Lord Charles here in the UK. Wish him and his lady great success !! Thanks all 👌

[@iamprivate18]

I demand videos with TCB and a dummy riding dark rides 😂

[@internetkurator9256]

Always had a deep fascination for Punch and Judy, or "Kasper" in German. Archaic, basic tales of morality and simple weird amusement. Kinda like the medieval plays. The city museum in Munich got a HUGE collection.

[@jabrowski_]

Thanks for doing the hike Jacob. Also ty Austin, that was really cool to see your shop

[@mareekatz]

This was awesome!!! Wasn't sure when I saw the thumbnail but, WOW what a surprise. Thanks for this Jacob ✌️ ❤️ 🙂

[@ParanormalUniversity]

I have such a new and amazing appreciation for ventriloquism now! Thanks for this!

[@dodiatkins4515]

Good morning. 😊 This video was a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing. Lost Fin was totally awesome. ❤

[@lorali9669]

Enjoyed this SO MUCH! Thankyou Jacob and Austin!

[@brendanwalsh5213]

I love this guys passion... he's so knowledgeable and excited about his collection

[@reneastle8447]

Impressive collection. As a puppetry fan myself, I thought I can make a child-friendly feature film showcasing a positive portrayal of ventriloquism and the dummies themselves, more like a musical comedy for everyone, kids and adults alike.

[@pamelaaigner8293]

What a wonderful video. So much fun seeing all of the ventriloquist memorabilia! Love the Halloween touch so much.

[@henryescat1104]

This was an amazing episode! I love the mix of crafts and skills it takes to make a dummy.. not to mention the throwing your voice part.

[@suededogs9670]

What a lovely chap that Austin. Thank you Jacob your channel & you are a tonic ❤❤❤❤ cheers , Sallyanne, UK.

[@scottfreeman3748]

Alot of interesting things about ventriloquist type of puppets 😊 thanks Jacob

[@NorthparkCentral]

This was a good one Jacob lought my pens off.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning Jacob 🌞😊 thanks for sharing this ventriloquist museum, glade for the worker to given you the tour of this place, it looks awesome. This must be in Canada as well. The guy was nice enough to do this, not by you asking him to do it, but knew you needed someone that knows what to say and show. You take care.🤓📸

[@MasterCodePro17]

This guy should have his own channel. Great video JCB, I love it!

[@MissouriPenny]

This was awesome. Thanks for sharing your channel with us 😊❤😊❤😊

[@josephoda]

Knew you were in Maine. Lived here for so long that I recognize the buildings and streets right away. I had no idea about the puppet workshop though. Should take my Charlie Mccarthy and Mortimer Snerd to get fixed up. Also, you should check out Fort Knox in Bangor. It's a cool abandoned fort and the Victoria Mansion. It's a gorgeous mansion from the 1800s with a lot of history.

[@Zilla23]

Thx. Austin . Made for an amazing video that I will watch again .

[@Head2ToeTheatrical]

That was fun. Another phrase to say while not moving your lips is, "The boy bought a basketball", using a D for the B.

[@caterpillarnana]

I love the trolls and the hikes through the woods and the bird houses.

[@julezrutter6305]

You also need a custom one of you.

[@mattparker3267]

OK…my nightmare tank is full. Thinking about that episode of “Tales from the Crypt” with Don Rickles as the ventriloquist.

[@brendenesguerra8488]

What about Goosebumps?

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

The dummy wearing a T-shirt with a pointy finger on it that says " I'm with the dummy". Finger points to ventriloquist. Also hi lost finn. Watched to the end! Love your pumpkin!

[@imspooky_2024]

Welcome to Connecticut carpet bagger these episodes are freaking awesome. Say hi to Jenny penny for me.❤

[@Doodles68]

Puppeteer/ventriloquist here! I have a few of Austin's figures, and they're amazing.

[@erinturner9074]

Hey Lost Fin! Keep on finding those trolls, I love them

[@vwgti337]

Fantastic video! Watch your vids everyday and this one was a knock-out

[@gregbudig5014]

The ventriloquist dummies are fascinating... but the vintage Halloween things are amazing!! Biestle made some of the most iconic decorations ever! I love vintage Halloween... very cool!!

[@marjoleinspruijt4154]

Me and my sister have some amazing antique handpuppets. Im obsesssd ❤

[@mialenander5399]

It really is something about people that do what they love that makes you feel happy yourself ❤

[@musicfanhawk4523]

I absolutely loved this!! What a fantastic place and guy!! Love the new creations Austin has made! Very nice and so interesting. And what a cool troll. 👍👍👍

[@mariehendrick7173]

I have always been amazed by ventriloquist acts...A really old original form of entertainment that never seems to age...It is always a wonderful act when done well... It never loses it's appeal for all ages... Wonderful very interesting ... XXXX

[@kimmiewho4320]

Austin was great! Thank you for another troll hunt!

[@johnbowman74]

Agreed.... Austin is a powder keg of energy and enthusiasm. Awesome seeing that people are still passionate about a fading craft.... ...that being said, wait till midnight then walk into that room with dim flashlight... CREEPY!!!! Keep them coming Bagger.

[@wizzwamf]

how fabulous love his collection what a nice guy to give you that wonderful jack o lantern

[@Onequietman]

Makes me super happy seeing you in my lovely state! Hopefully one day I will run into you and get a quick selfie haha! Love your videos man! Keep it up! ❤️

[@larryadams9935]

Facinating video, Jacob! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Love it!

[@shirleyhughes1248]

I loved this video , I had a cousin that worked for the circus that had Punch and Judy shows, he was a ventriloquist , I would love to get in touch with this guy,

[@Retromicky82]

That's really cool has a British guy I've been round lots of punch and Judy shows I use to enjoy watching them . I didn't know they did Toby jug ones

[@lisakinser7193]

I am really enjoying the troll hunts. I have almost made it a goal to go and find one although none are anywhere near where I live. Thank you so much for your videos, I learn so much. Also, thanks for the CAMEO!!!

[@lisacoston9373]

How fascinating! This was great.

[@attitudeeraglamazon9480]

I have really enjoyed you looking for the trolls. Hope to get to see one myself one day.

[@ROFL96OMG]

I am so jealous of this guy's collection

[@HeatherSykes-f8l]

I LOVE the Troll hunts! Awesome video Jacob!

[@DavidWRyan]

I love that pumpkin so much!

[@nataliecrow6533]

If he makes a Carpetbagger Dummy I would buy it! I think your look would make a great ventriloquist dummy the hat, the glasses, the cool shirt, & the socks & crocs. He definitely needs to make one! ❤❤❤❤

[@unicorn063]

How cool was that so lucky to get that pumpkin 🎃 ❤❤❤❤

[@toughharley1903]

Interesting video, he did a great job on those puppets and the tour

[@OrangityOrange]

Your videos are 🔥lately! Love the puppets, love the trolls so much!

[@PianomanKY]

I wish I loved my job as much as Austin loves his puppets

[@karenleger7583]

Love the trolls... and your travels.. 😊

[@EricHunting]

That big papier måche mask was creating some Frank Sidebottom and Pelicans King Cake Baby vibes.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

Great video. I really enjoyed the ventriloquist dummy, plus I really enjoy the trolls

[@suemoo22]

Hey Lost Finn, you’re not lost anymore!

[@unicorn063]

Oh my gosh Troll my favorite you got me addicted ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fishingforcomplaints2829]

Hi carpetbagger! I usually don’t comment but I wanted you to know that your dambo troll hunt videos led me to discover that my own country (Singapore) was lucky to have some dambo trolls too. I just did my own troll hunt in Sentosa and had fun finding all four of them, there aren’t any other dambo trolls in Southeast Asia so I’m thankful for having the opportunity to see the trolls for myself!

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Awesome collection

[@ParklynRakocy-Sheckart]

Yes, love the Troll Hunt.

[@christinebeckman8395]

Yay! We found Lost Finn: )

[@Jeremy_Lepak_PuppetMan]

The Jack-o-lantern would be fun for a Green Goblin cosplay!

[@joannlee7239]

Such a cool collection and his enthusiasm for the art was infectious! However, I still think those ventriloquist mannequins are creep af. 😂

[@richardbutler2684]

about time you made it to vermont we have so many things you would enjoy to see if you just took some time to check us out

[@jenniferthrasher3058]

Love rhis video! Love Austin! Also LOVE the trolls! Keep looking! Be safe!

[@eskieguy9355]

With practice you could really get good at that. I've seen people doing this as a job, who aren't as good. Maybe he could make you a talking possum. Somehow, the dummy has to match you. Kind of like having another personality. Jeff Dunham is an excellent example.

[@laurag-oe9xo]

Hello Lost Finn!! And thanks Austin!!
