Tie-Down Magnets & Rigging Systems

One thing every animator knows: for a puppet to move convincingly at some stage you will need to tie it down. Animation Supplies offers single threaded tie-downs as well Professional Tie-Down Magnets with incredible strength. Both methods work exceptionally well with our Animation Stages.

Sometimes however, you want to free your puppet from constraints of gravity. You'll want your character to run, jump of even fly and that where our Rigs come in. These attach to  rigging points in our armatures to securely support your puppet whilst in mid-air.

Realistic Acrylic Eyes That Bring Characters to Life

Want your puppet to emote, connect, and captivate your audience? Start with the eyes. The site offers beautifully crafted acrylic eyes in a range of colours (blue, green, brown & grey) to help bring realism and depth to your characters. They’re the perfect finishing touch that gives your animation that extra spark.
