ABOUT US
| Sunny & Company can trace it's modest beginnings in 1993 to a flea market booth in Orlando, Florida where owner Eddie Zhu designed and marketed a furry wrap-around puppet called "Cool Cat." This first design was improved and expanded to a brand-new design called "Hairy Gibbon." These small and large Gibbon Wrap-Around puppets with their colorful fur, comical faces and expressive gestures were an immediate success and soon other retailers were ordering them in large numbers. |

But along with the increased demand, came a desire for more variety. So Eddie designed his first "human-style" wrap-around puppets, a Grandmother and Grandfather. Then, in 1996, came a completely new type of puppet, the Full-Body Hand Puppet. Rather than with long legs that attach around the puppeteer's waist, these new, more proportional puppets were designed to be carried and operated like a Ventriloquist would operate his dummy. This new line of puppets was an instant success and soon Sunny & Company was distributing an ever-increasing inventory of them in both large and small (Glove Puppet) sizes. Eddie also designed a line of large and small marionettes that carried on what had now become the Sunny & Company tradition of |
| ease-of use, comical attractive appearance
and low cost. The new string puppets came in
every style from colorful Flamingos to Horses,
Lions, Tigers and Zebras too. In 2001, Sunny
& Company added new lines of realistic Animal
Hand Puppets and small stuffed Animal toys.
Recent additions to the Sunny & Company line
include a series of beautiful Full-Body Hand
Puppets depicting Christian characters from the
Bible, and a collection of Medieval characters
including a King and his Royal Family. These
puppets have fully sculptured faces and very fine
detailed clothing of the period. Today, still located in Orlando, Florida, Sunny & Company Toys, Inc. is a world-wide distributor of deluxe puppets and plush animal toys. |
