How it compares in Puppets & Puppet Theatres
Across the 49 rated puppets & puppet theatres products we track, the typical score is 4.5 out of 5. This one sits at 4.8, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice. That places it first of the 49 we rank here.
It carries 3,682 ratings against a category median of 143. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £4.59 to £30.94, where the midpoint is about £14.25. It is priced above the field and rated above it too, so the premium is at least matched by how buyers rate it.
