One of the major differences in quality is the mouth. Not only on the inside, but the outside as well. I sewed the fabric. I didn't glue it. To me, that gives it a "cleaner" look. It's a little harder to do than gluing, but it's worth the effort. The blue puppet in the photos below isn't finished. He is missing hair and ears and details inside his mouth. In fact, all of the puppets could use a little more finishing work.
