Puppet Character Variations

Puppet versions of the two-dimensional characters.

Puppets

Image	Description	Appearances
File:Puppethomestar.png "Everybody knows it!"	Puppet Homestar Runner The puppet was created in September 2003. His eyes are made of felt, so they can be moved around if necessary. They are only seen on one side of his head at a time, similar to his Flash counterpart. His propeller can be spun, and he frequently asks others to "spin his buzzer", although it has a tendency to fall off. Being a puppet, his legs are never shown on screen. According to himself in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2, he has "eight percent more sass than the regular Homestar". He refers to the bottom of his mouth as a "mouth-shelf", which is handy for catching snowflakes.	* Debut: Everybody Knows It
File:Puppetstrongbad.png "Going on my 7th coffee run!" File:NewPuppetSB.png "RIP fleshtangle mouth"	Puppet Strong Bad The first puppet was created in January 2005. He had a red piece above his mouth that slid up and down as he talked, giving the illusion of his mouth moving, as it does in the toons. His head could rotate, and his arms were usually controlled from below using wires. Unlike most puppets, his legs are visible at times, dangling below his body. A new Strong Bad puppet debuted in 2016, first seen from behind in a tweet. This puppet is smaller and has a fully opening underbite mouth. It was created by the people at the Georgia Puppetry Museum, as revealed to a fan when they talked in 2019.	* Debut: Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005
File:Puppetthecheat.png "Meh." File:TheCheatPuppet2.png Meh 2.0	Puppet The Cheat While a Kick The Cheat doll was used as a puppet in Puppet Time and Some Puppet Stuff, The Cheat uses a similar but unique, handcrafted doll which debuted in Everybody Knows It. This puppet's defining features include more consistent dots on his back, a red-orange colored swirl on his chest (colored rather than embroidered, and with opposite chirality), and pure black oval-shaped button eyes.	* Debut: Everybody Knows It

File:Puppetdoreauxgard.png "Forget you, whitey! I'm going solo!" File:DoreauxgardPuppet.png "You ain't got no character, whitey!"	Puppet Doreauxgard Much like the cartoon version, the original puppet was merely a cantaloupe jammed onto a pencil with a silly face drawn on him. A more puppet-like version of Doreauxgard, complete with an opening mouth and a felt green tongue, was later made.	* lackey Main Page 25 The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar @StrongBadActual The Actions You Can Do (YouTube version)

File:Puppet Rocoulm.png "I totally just ate your cat."	Puppet Rocoulm Designed to look like a Halloween animatronic decoration. The torch glows constantly; when activated, the eyes light up red, mouth opens and closes, arms move slowly, and tinny audio of the Jibblies 2 theme plays. The Unconcerned Citizen also enhances its appearance with green laser lights and a fog machine.	Action Cool News-oween Report

Cheat Commandos

All the Commandos are modified Kick The Cheat plush toys, with the exception of Firebert (The Cheat puppet). Notably, these Cheat Commandos exist in the same universe as Strong Bad and/or Dangeresque, unlike their animated versions.
