[edit] Plot

This film explains how Toulon received the information to create his living puppets. He is pursued by the disciples of Sutek, who were first introduced in Puppet Master 4. This film describes some of Andre Toulon's earliest creations such as Dr. Death and Cyclops, as well as early versions of the familiar puppets Blade, Pinhead, Six Shooter, and Tunneler. It's important to note, that while these puppets look like their more polished current day incarnations, the "retro" puppets all have different souls, and are not directly related.
