The masters of the OMI studio professionally produce life-size puppets to order. Basically, life-size puppets are used to attract the attention of consumers to a brand, company, product, or for an entertainment event. Basically, the suit is made for a person of average build and average height. It is possible to order for a specific person of any size. The price of a life-size doll cannot be low, since only high-quality fabrics with increased wear resistance and minimal maintenance requirements are used for its production.
One of the interesting works was the fulfillment of an order from the ToyDiCo company, which is the official representative in Ukraine of a number of global toy manufacturers. Thus, in the fall of 2017, the Ukrainian company launched a promotional toy for the Fisher-Price brand “Smart Puppy with Smart Stages Technology.” For this purpose, the masters of the OMI studio made a complete likeness of the toy in the form of a life-size doll. An interesting experience was the use of interactive components in the costume. A illuminated heart sewn into a life-size doll responds with a greeting to each press.
“The ToyDiCo company contacted us with specific wishes, and also provided the original recording of the voice of the “Smart Puppy.” Our task was to bring everything voiced by the customer to life. We succeeded. For the smooth movement of the life-size puppet operator and the operation of the interactive heart, a powerful battery is sewn into the suit, which allows the suit to be used for a long time without recharging,” said Bogdan Kazachenko, art director of the OMI studio.
