Sadly, as of 4/30/2004,
the Butterbug Puppets are no longer available. I'll leave this
page up for now, though, and we can all wax nostalgic.

By exclusive arrangement
with MPVK Enterprises, this rare butterbug has been recreated
as a hand puppet. Note the Vorkosigan family seal on the back!
The silver seal, with its three-stylized-triangles-and-maple-leaf
design, is offset nicely by the dark brown of the wings. The puppet
is designed with six "legs" so it can be worn on either
hand. For the paltry sum of $25.00 (plus regular shipping and
handling charges) this valuable piece of Barrayaran history can
be yours!
