I'd like to try, but I don't get what's a "semi-square block marionette". Should it look like a real puppet or is it more like a real tiger with the strings?

I do want it to look like a stuffed animal. I would like it to be block style such as carved wood.

This is a typo don't want stuffed animal.

updated description - i don't want it to look like a stuffed animal. I think more like carved wood.
