April then reveals her secret that she is Duval's great-great granddaughter and she has been searching for him for years. Duval is Dr. Death's human soul and this causes him to remember who he use to be and have flashbacks of how his puppet was conceived and memories of working with Andre Toulon at the Theatre Magique in Paris and meeting the wizard Afzel.

Characters Puppets Reception The most well-received Puppet Master installments are generally those released before the series' four-year hiatus. As the series was revived at a time when Full Moon Features was no longer partnered with Paramount Pictures, the studio's finances grew increasingly tight, and as a result the quality of each subsequent Puppet Master title (as well as numerous other Full Moon productions) suffered. On Rotten Tomatoes, the only three installments which have been rated by critics are Puppet Master, which has a 50% rating after 8 reviews; Puppet Master II, which has a 43% rating after 7 reviews; and Puppet Master 4, which has a 0% rating after 5 reviews. The films have evidently scored much better with users, currently rating 51%, 47% and 66%, respectively. Home media VHS Most Puppet Master films were originally released direct to video on VHS. DVD The Puppet Master films have been released on DVD in very small quantities. A box set containing the first seven installments of the series was released by Full Moon (along with a bonus disc of trailers for other Full Moon films), but was recalled shortly after. However, in 2007, Full Moon Features reacquired the rights to the first five films, and the box set has since been reissued and is available
