Shapenstein
Shapenstein is a Frankenstein inspired character who loves shapes. We got the idea from The Count Von Count, we thought we could take another famous monster and turn it into a character that helps people learn. He doesn't speak much but he can say the names of every shape. He was first shown in episode 20 singing "It's Hip to Be a Square".
Daisy Snuffle
You probably all saw the proto version of this character a few years back. She is rebuilt now as a full bodied costume. She is a female Snuffleupagus and the cousin of Mr Snuffleupagus. She comes from Hawaii. She will make her debut in episode 23.
Purple Crayon
This adorable little fella was originally created by puppeteer and puppet builder Dillon Stewart (Stewart's channel). The original crayon appeared in the end of season 1. He has been gone for a while now but with permission from Stewart I rebuilt him and am bringing him back.
Little Red
Next up we have the adorable Little Red. He is the best friend of Big Red (after Daisy of course). He travels through different parts of Canada but his favorite place to be is Safari Mall. He could be related to Little Bird (the character he was inspired by). I really like how this puppet turned out. The proto Little Red was nothing more than a miniature Big Red which made us think that he would turn out as the Scrappy Doo of Safari Mall.
Filthomena
2 prototypes of this character were built but never made it to the screen. Filthomena is Junko's grouch girlfriend (like Grundgetta). She lives in a dumpster at the back of Safari Mall.
Lilly's family
I'm sure that you are all familiar with Lilly Monster by now but meet her family. Her mother Karen, her father Stuart, Her brother Richie and her dog Fido. You may be wondering why Richie is purple and not blue like the others and that's because he is adopted. We just thought that it would be a good lesson for the kids watching if we had an adopted character.
Marvin Monster
This is a puppet I have had for a while (he has had several modifications over the years) and you may have seen him in a video or two. He is described as a Telly Monster and Herry Monster mix. He worries a lot (like Telly) and has trouble controlling his strength (like Herry).
Huey Blue
This is a puppet I built years ago that later became an SM character we were experimenting with. His name is Huey Blue and he is the cousin of Roosevelt Franklin. the personalities of the 2 characters are a lot alike.
