Hi Everybody, this is Roy. He's more than 40 years old - doesn't seem to have aged at all! The shoes aren't original, they were my brother's when he was a baby and I gave them to Roy because he hurt his foot before he came to live with me - his insides were leaking out!
Roy is going to help with the tingle factor box by showing you how some of the items are used. He's a very popular fellow - even the cat wants to play with him! If you want to leave him a message, you can do that and he will answer.
Roy is a Pelham Vent Puppet. He could be used as a ventriloquist doll too. He works with a handle and a sprung switch which opens and shuts his mouth. You use your own hands to help him pick up and touch things. Of course this only helps him - he has a personality all his own!

Roy's cousin lives at the Powerhouse Museum and you can find out more about him here.
