cross-eyed Vorclaf marionette
Look: The puppet faithfully captures Vorclaf's features with one addition -- the widely crossed eyes, which the prince's detractors would say comes from trying to look in two directions at once. Given a free hand, you think you can PUSH, PULL, TURN, POKE, TAP, RUB, CLEAN, POINT, WAVE, BREAK or SCREAM at the little puppet to make it perform.
