Recently I filmed a scene in which the Golfer is required to lean down and pick up two leaflets. The puppet was capable of walking by itself, but it couldn't lean down by itself as it was too flexible. I solved this by using two magnets underneath the set - one for each foot - which were strong enough to hold the character down.
No additional support was needed when the Golfer was required to pick up the two leaflets, because the fingers move around freely and could pick up the leaflets by themselves. However, to make the puppet easier to stand up whilst leaning over, I had to remove the Plasticine from the feet and let the two magnets do the work.
