New article name Dan Lavender is a maker of professional ventriloquist figures. He is known for his figures having many animated features, some of which are unique in the figure making community.
His figures are known for his innovative "smart lids", a feature on his figures with omni direcional eyes whereas the eyelids follow the up and down motion of the eyes preventing the pupils of the eyes to go under the lids. This effect also adds a more realistic appearance. The "sneer trigger" is another of his inovations that consists of the lever to operate the upper lip sneer of the figure is situated at the end of the index operated jaw lever. the up and down motion of the index finger activates the jaw while the tip of the index finger pulls on the sneer lever -like a trigger on a gun- to actaute the upper lip movement. This arrangement allows the figures' operator to actuate the jaw and upper lip simultaneously or individually. The same laever that operates the jaw also actuates the tongue by continuing the downward pressure of the index finger past the point of the jaw being fully opened
