Wiggle Fox / Anthrocon 2023 Fox Puppet
Wiggle Fox, also known as the Anthrocon 2023 Fox Puppet is a white fox marionette created by fox therian TheHearthFox in late June 2023. Wiggle Fox went viral during the Anthrocon 2023 furry convention, which took place between June 29th and July 2nd, inspiring numerous viral videos of the puppet dancing, memes and pieces of fan art depicting the marionette. HearthFox originally made the puppet as a tribute to a deceased friend in the furry fandom.
pancakes🔜Bed@skunxum I had non furries send me videos of them from the con.
Richard K Niner@skunxum Heh, I kept running into that little guy.
vailRat@skunxum love this lil pinocchio pup
Austin Dern, Dean of Coatis@skunxum Great! We need marionettes and puppets to make a comeback in the fandom.
@Austin_Dern Yes this. The Muppets were very much my gateway (retrospectively) into furry.
@skunxum Yeah, there's a lot of what I think of as my furry history that turns out to owe to the Muppets. Also the Pink Panther ...
My wife and I try to puppet some when we go to conventions, but it's nothing like the glory days of the Atomic Spectacle of Doom or anything. Just people startled because they thought that was a real guinea pig I was holding ...
Hyo CheetiBurd@skunxum This lil guy was makin' me smile the whole weekend as I saw them makin' their routes about AC. Such a happy lil thing!
