I might as well start from the beginning. I was contacted by Zack Buchman creative Director of Uncute Inc. A furry puppet biz with some insider connections.

Here’s a little about us. Furry Puppet Studio is a custom puppet design studio in SoHo, New York. I started it self taught after moving to the city at twenty, and these days a small team of sculptors, costume makers, engineers, and puppeteers builds one of a kind characters for film, TV, ads, music videos, and stage. We carve the heads by hand from foam, engineer the insides to actually move, and process a some of the fabric in house when nothing off the shelf matches what we want. The range runs from look alike custom puppets of real people to monsters, and other characters.

On the connections side, we have been lucky to work with clients like Apple, Nike, Nintendo, Casper, and CNN. The puppet in that photo is a look alike we built for CNN, and yep, that is the real Anderson Cooper taking a selfie with his puppet twin

Not bad for a “Furry” business

You can see from the photos they do excellent work, and I am glad to feature them

The folks at Furry Puppet Studio got in touch with us — and they were kind enough to send us the following: “Located in SoHo, New York, the studio designs and builds custom puppets and creatures, the soulful, hand-made kind you want to reach out and talk to. Founder and Creative Director Zack Buchman is entirely self-taught, and the work runs the full anthropomorphic spectrum: Shaggy monsters, animals of every temperament, oddball mascots, and one very memorable talking refrigerator. Clients have included Apple, Nike, Casper, and Nintendo, plus a parade of famous faces and likenesses from Jon Hamm to Missy Elliott  to Andy Cohen. Every character begins as a block of foam, carved by hand, then dressed in fabric the team sometimes produces themselves. Buchman grew up on Sesame Street, The Moomins, and old LucasArts adventure games, and you can feel that love of character in how alive these things turn out. Take a look at the menagerie at furrypuppet.com.” You heard ’em, people!

Furality for 2026 has completed its strongest year yet. Their attendance continued to grow by gaining 1,000 more attendees at 27,943. This growth has tempered, likely due to headwinds primarily caused by a new requirement of verifying age through electronic tools required to attend starting this year. They raised $116,121 according to the latest announcement for Resilient Hearts animal sanctuary, a LGBTQ+ run animal rescue.

The theme for this year was “Ultra”, a gaming theme where you visit the virtual world of the fictional console of the Ultravox Prism that is set to shut down at the end of the weekend. Many of the references were to the consoles of the mid-2000s that included loading intros and health warnings of overplaying that preceded many games of the era to invoke nostalgia toward that era of gaming long past.

The format of this gathering is seeming to become established and with that being the polish of the worlds is better than they ever have been. This article will go over the improvements found, but this year will primarily focus on the Dealer’s Mall in later sections. For a more larger view of Furality it is recommended reading our premiere article covering Furality Umbra from 2024. [2025 Furality Somna also available]
