At LAST! Here is an IATA (International Airline Transport Association) - approved case (designated with an "A" rating...the highest!) designed by a ventriloquist for ventriloquists! (OK, actually it's designed for ventriloquial figures... But you get where I'm going with this!) This top grade custom-designed case is the exact same type of case that Jeff Dunham uses to transport his invaluable figures in on his demanding tour schedule.
The case is designed to carry a full-sized vent figure (40" - 42"), but will naturally alternatively carry a smaller figure (or figures), soft puppets, a vent stand, etc.). I personally carry a large Brant Gilmer figure in mine, *plus* my performance stand, *plus* my wireless mic set-up.
Each case measures 26" in length by 18" wide by 10" deep. This is large enough for even a BIG figure. The main body of the case is constructed from heavy-duty ABS plastic, which is puncture-proof and dent-proof.
The lid is secured with TWO support braces - one on each side (these hold the lid in the open position for you to remove the figure, etc.) No more shoelaces to hold the lid open!
The hardware is flush-mounted to prevent from being torn off in transit! There is a handle on one long side to enable you to carry the case like a suitcase. There is a second handle on one short end, enabling you to carry the figure in the upright position. Both handles are spring-loaded to automatically fold closed when not in use. They nest down inside a shallow "tray" to give the case it's streamlined look.
There are steel corner bumpers on each corner to further protect the case and its contents. Everything about this case is designed with protecting your valuable vent figure in mind.
The two case latches are butterfly latches, used on the finest musical instrument cases. These heavy-duty latches guarantee the lid will never "accidentally" open in transit.
The interior of the cases is an incredibly durable material that is long-lasting and attractive. It is also velcro friendly. The cases are not lined with foam padding, as some people - like Jeff Dunham - prefer. Jeff himself uses bubble wrap, towels, etc. Other vents use cloth bags for the head and hands of their figure.
Do you prefer a case lined with crushed velvet-covered foam rubber? You can do it yourself! Each case comes with a ten page photo-illustrated tutorial on how to line your case. You'll learn which materials to use, where to get them, and how to do the entire thing, step-by-step. Once you have the materials, you can do the entire project in an hour or less!
Here's a bonus.... With each case, you'll also receive a lightweight velveteen drawstring head cover, as well as matching hand covers for your figure!
NOW... I will be the first to admit that these cases aren't "cheap". But true quality never is, and after all, this is a case that is to protect your investment of perhaps many thousands of dollars! If you've got that much money invested in a custom (or even a limited edition) figure, shouldn't you protect that investment? Frankly, as insurance, this case IS "cheap"!
