Using this puppet is easy. Just put your hand inside it. You can then control its boxing action by using the hidden levers. Move your wrist and push the levers to make it throw punches and recreate scenes from the movie. When you're done using it, you can display it as it looks really cool and spooky. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the puppet's fabric and paint. Be careful when using the levers so you don't break them. This puppet is for entertainment, so have fun with it but handle it with care.
